    Well it wouldn't be Ellis, Garden, Bowman or Flood. I would like to see what Brian Grant could do with this squad of players. Couldn't be much worse than whats going on currently.

    That interview is a complete slap in the face to our fans who've backed this club magnificently in the face of scandalous leadership and terrible managers/teams.

    I absolutely expect the team who are allegedly title favourites to be looking to beat part time teams 4/6 nil at Tannadice, different story obviously against full time outfits.

    McKinnon is making an absolute c unt of things on the pitch and every time he opens his mouth he's digging himself a bigger hole.

    Talk is cheap Raymond lets see some good attacking football for once

    I think it's a reasonable interview and hits all the issues raised by folk concerned by his tenure so far. He's come out fighting which is good to see and I think he's right to point out we have a lot of new players. Anyone who thinks a team can be built in twelve games is totally deluding themselves and has no idea.

    Hahaha you'll always take any excuse to back the manager/team

    So after a dozen proper games and pre season games our FULL TIME players who train at a state of the arts training ground can't beat a PART TIME team you think RM's are acceptable? ?........phuck sake

    how many games and weeks of training is required to provide a performance of note?

    FFS in a my years of going to football I've never heard the like.
    6 weeks in and our players are still unfit. Like this situation would have been tollerated in wee Jim's day.

    McKinnon your job entails you have fit supposedly athletes at you disposal. Looks like you are neglecting your duties.

    Thon Jack Ross is making a right chunt of things with his 14 new players at St. Mirren, eh? No idea whatsoever.

    You judge after 5 league games? Fair enough but the season is going to last a lot longer than that.

    I'm judging Raymond on the past 15 months, over which there has been very little improvement in results and most certainly performances.

    You're clearly buying into the cliches he's spouting. A team can be built in a short space of time, many good managers have proven this, they don't need six months to be "bang at it".

    It's not as if the players RM's brought in are coming from the moon, they're experienced professional footballers who should be able to play together to a reasonable standard with minimal teething problems, if they say otherwise, they're in the wrong profession. Football's a simple game, made complicated by idiots, of which Ray McKinnon clearly is.

    Managers that turned out to be great have also taken time to build a team and almost been sacked because of it.
