Oran Kearney told not to attend the first day of pre-season training.
There were strong roumours he'd be going back to Ireland weeks ago. I quite like St Mirren but their owners/board have some mental ideas about where they should be. Top 4 was quoted recently and probably on a shoestring budget.
That's a fair point in relation to Killie, but top four for them is the exception to the rule, plus they don't have as much competition for fans from the Old Firm (though Ayrshire is very Hunnish). Paisley is basically a district of Glasgow and St Mirren's fanbase very small. Their potential growth is always going to be small.
There was an interview with the chairman on tv recently, can't remember which channel (STV?) and he was adamant top six next season and possibly Europe. Even my wife said what a knob.
Is Stewart Gilmour still involved at st.mirren? Now there's a proper fanny. St.mirren are a bottom 6 club and they may have the odd season they break into the top 6 but for Fitzpatrick to claim they were targeting top 4 in their first season in the premiership is as ludicrous as anything I've heard since romanov was targeting winning the champions league.
In his TV interview after the play off final he didn't sound over-convinced that he'd be in Paisley next season. He was being linked at that time with one of the NI clubs - think it was Coleraine. Maybe no great surprise in that context.
I heard Tony Fitzpatrick interviewed on the radio a few times last season and he's clearly wired to the moon.
It’s not Fitzpatrick that he’s had the apparent falling out with, it’s the chairman.
Posted this on the transfer thread last week. He’s a gone-er.
