steve lomas

[RedArmy]

emerging as a favourite, thoughts?

[Lifelong supporter]

Lomas would be a great appointment...he's LOST more games than he's won at St Johnstone.
No thanks!

[coppsisgod]

Not very inspiring but were any of us happy with the appointments of DS or SOD at first? I'd be willing to give him a shot. No more ridiculous then the appointment of DS was.

[roverssam1879]

No thanks! i dont like what i have read about him.

[GazLaz]

I like the bloke. Gets plenty of touch line bans as well. Heard good things about him, he's worked wonders with St J.

[KETrover]

Worked wonders with SJ? What has he done like?

[Chris]

His conduct on the touchline is worrying. Not another Steve Cotterill?!

Thats not a good thing

[GazLaz]

He got them into Europe for a start.

[MachoMadness]

If Steve Lomas won his club art competition, would he win the St Johnstone's Paint Trophy?

[roverssam1879]

By default of hearts winning the cup.

poor appointment if he gets it. wanted someone a little more exciting and proven than him 

[Donnybax]

He got them into Europe for a start.

Thats good but having lots of touchine bans is not

[KETrover]

So he got them to 6th in the league? Great achievement. That got them into the 2nd qualifying round. Which they lost? Dont see that as him 'doing wonders'

[Derby Viking]

Apparently he was the favourite for the Fleetwood job in December before not getting it. Wouldn't be my choice but will support him if he is our next manager

Sounds exactly like the words spoken when Sean got the gig from Penney.

Maybe so but id sooner the manager of Bournmouth than of St Johnstone!

[The L J Monk]

wanted someone a little more exciting...

Like who?

[RedArmy]

personally wouldnt mind him doesnt seem to have done much wrong in scotland, seems to show passion and young what more do people want??

[Pintolager]

I read with interest Silent Majority's post about what attributes the club are looking for in any new manager and what stuck out for me were the points about having a guy who has experience of winning promotion from league 1 and managing in the Championship and also someone with personality who us fans can take to. Lomas doesn't seem to tick those boxes for me

[Derby Viking]

Rules SOD out of making a comeback too thankfully - has the first 2 but no personality.

[RedArmy]

how can someone who seemes to show passion not win the fans over?

[River Don]

how can someone who seemes to show passion not win the fans over?

By losing a lot?

saunders showed passion lost more than he won, seems to have won 90% of the fans over.

[roverssam1879]

Like who?

Rosler,Brown,Tisdale...

Seperate seasons and different players and Division. As for 90% of the fans ........I very much doubt it despite being in 2nd. position.

[The L J Monk]

Rosler,Brown,Tisdale...

Agreed upon Rosler or Tisdale. However, I'm not sure we have the sort of players that they would relish.

Tricky one for the board as they could appoint someone whose team is more pleasing on the eye, but who, without their own players, is likely to scupper any promotion chances for this season.

Id really like to see either one of them and they would be my choice. Your point on scuppering the chance of this seasons promotion is valid, im worried that whoever comes in, good or bad, it will have a negative effect, meaning i recon the previous regieme/plan would have ended up with us in the top 2. a new man in the hot seat will lead us to only the play offs due to the nature of changing things.

I was just thinking this.We have players who are more physical than pretty on the eye footballers.Dont think even SOD could get half of our players to play passing football so the new boss is gonna have to like hoofball as well.
Aidy Boothroyd or Kevin Blackwell anyone?

[Viking Don]

Based on previous experience the new manager will be someone who'll bring in one or two of own players with him, so if it is going to be Lomas then we must be after Liam Craig.

[River Don]

This is why I think it's a very difficult appointment to make this time.

We're in a great position in the league and we get someone in who would just carry on where Saunders left off, we could be in with a good shout of promotion.

At the same time I'd like to see the club follow in the footsteps of Swansea and build a system that would allow the inevitable managerial changes without disrupting things. It would allow us to always build but I don't think we're playing the sort of football to begin to deliver that yet and I wouldn't want to jeopordise the promotion push by making big changes.
