'Underwhelming' or 'sensible'? - your views on McLeish appointment

[BBC] We asked for your views on Craig McLeish being named as the permanent manager at St Mirren. Here are some of your comments: Donald : The cheap choice! Underwhelming appointment, we barely escaped the play-off and he only won four of 12 games in charge. The football was poor. Relegation next season for sure! Craig : Craig did a great job in keeping us up but I feel going on from what Stephen Robinson did we need to get back up there so we need someone with more experience. Martin : Easy option appointment if not underwhelming, did we even have any other interest? Who knows, he might be the next Pep Guardiola! He'll need to make a very good start or I suspect the fans might lose faith quickly. Tough season ahead I fear. JD : McLeish is definitely not the right choice. A far more experienced manager is required for the job. It was luck more than judgement that kept the Saints up. Can't see us being lucky twice under McLeish. Paul : It's a sensible appointment. Continuity and stability over costly change. We could do a lot worse. The question of who the manager will be has been answered so time for every fan to get behind the team and give him a chance. Alastair : I don't think he has shown enough in the games that I've seen to convince me he has the tactical nous required for the job on a permanent basis. He persists with the same tactics even when it's clear that they aren't working. Kyle : Not the one I was hoping for. The club needed to turn to a manager who could bring high-quality players with him - a young manager with no reputation will do the opposite. Can't see many quality players having faith in the project. Innis : Craig deserves a chance, as he kept us in the Premiership. He needs to sign his own players for his style of football. Hopefully some of our talented youngsters get a chance, since he was head of youth development. Hopefully the fans will get behind him.
