Does this guy ever learn? "Bigger than Dundee" !!!!

No harm in ambition over pure survival but keep it real

[HoboHarry]

Don't think there is much wrong with his comments to be fair. That said I'll be a little surprised if they turned it around that quickly without substantial funds being available.....

[Since452]

At least he's not saying top 4 anymore

[J-C]

I think any team in the bottom 6 should always strive to make top 6 their main target, I'm sure Kilmarnock didn't expect the season they had, top 6 would have been the main goal.

He lives in a fantasy world. I'm all for ambition but he trots this out every year.

That's realistic. We were one place off that just over 12 months ago. When was the last time St Mirren in the top six? Or finished 7th?

I'll answer my own question for you. Never finished higher than 8th since the split was introduced.

Why would it be unrealistic for us to finish 3rd

Because we are relegated more often then we finish third

[brianmc]

And I pump Kim Kardashian more often than St Mirren finish where Tony Fitzpatrick thinks they should 😂😂






*Only once more 😉

[IncredibleHibee]

Clearly knows very little about Scottish football history if he genuinely thinks St Mirren are bigger than Dundee

Fitzpatrick is a great guy and is just showing some ambition

He may or may not be a good guy - I don't know him.
What I do know is he often spouts absolute guff in the media whilst simultaneously overseeing a car crash of a club behind the scenes.

As an equivalent kind of "ambition" : if Leeann came out and said we're targeting the Champions League group stages next season would you class that as ambition or delusion?

Massive difference between st mirren finishing top 6 and us making the CL group stages.... He's not actually said anything wrong here

Yeah I am 56 and can just about remember them. I can easily recall at least 3 delegations

Exactly Sammy. We've finished 3rd or better 10 times in the last 50 years and we had 4 years in a row in the 70's. That leaves 6 other occasions in 46 years - I hardly think we are in a position to be ridiculing St Mirren for aiming for a top 6 spot....

He has. You have to look at it in context. St Mirren aren't a stable club. They've taken managers with relative success elsewhere and ruined their careers. Ian Murray was working miracles with Dumbarton. Stubbs a Scottish cup winner with hibs (how many hibs managers can claim that). Now Oran Kearney. Fitzpatrick has talked the same tripe all the way along.

If he started with a realistic expectation perhaps he wouldn't have to fire each manager so quickly. You build to where he wants to be not just talk nonsense about Leicester winning the Premier league. Survival first for St Mirren. Cut out the waffle Tony.

[Eyrie]

I don't see any reason why St Mirren shouldn't regard that as an achievable target given time.

Whether it makes sense for them to do so for the coming season, with a new manager needing to overhaul the squad, is a separate matter.

It was top 4 last season. He has revised his prediction. And did anyone actually read the linked article? He was on about aiming to win the league - referencing Leicester.

Top 6 is unlikely.Top 4 is a pipe dream. Talking about winning the league proves Fitzpatrick is a pure space cadet.

[MWHIBBIES]

Leicester have alot to answer for. Became the go to justification for delusions of grandeur across the football world.

I would be checking his medication if he thinks they can win the league.

I don't think there's much wrong with that, outside of Hibs, Celtic, Rangers, Hearts and Aberdeen, I don't think there's much between any of the other clubs. it's do-able.
