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

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.
