Hughes for me
I’d be content with Neilson.
Reason I like McIntyre is he’s done ok with 3 teams. Dunfermline, QOS and Ross County. All similar level of clubs to where we are now. I feel we are guaranteed some improvement if he comes in.
Neilson I like but his pedigree, experience not as long but still could see him do well
My point is Martin and the BOD need to make the decision now. Most fans would recognise either McIntyre or Neilson would be common sense appointments. Let us get on with it and the rest of season
Hughes for me
McIntyre has a level and its top end of the Championship/bottom end of the Premiership. If we have aspirations to get back to anywhere near where we where, we cannot employ McIntyre. At least with Neilson he had Hearts fighting for 2nd place in The Premiership when he left after a 3rd place finish the season before. He's proven he can get a team winning, fighting and challenging at the right end of the table.
And then what? McIntyre will fit in with the players we have. Proven Championship standard but failures at the top level. Clark, Aird, Curran, Franz, Booth etc etc. And anyone can win a cup with a bit of luck. The league is the bread & butter and that is why we are where we are. We failed in the league and are continuing to fail in the league due to sub standard managerial & player appointments. It's a no from me. Definitely.
Ouch, is Tommy Wright still on our shortlist, should maybe be free and available in about an hour or so...
Good manager but I just get a feeling it wouldn't work out for him if he came here.
St Johnstone modest club with more patient fans, happy enough with the whole scrappy, survival football. Our fans wouldn't accept it imo.
But he would still be a million times better than Csaba.
100 times better than most that have been linked to us, but one reason I favour Neilson is there is more of a younger freshness about him and probably an appetite to leave his own mark on a club the way Wright has done over 5 years now for saints, saying that would do a jog if it was either of them
