Jack Ross has been doing nothing of the sort - or, at least, he's already done that by not renewing the contracts of players he himself didn't fancy at this level anyway.

I have moved on JR and others are in the past. AS aka The Boss is in the here and now. I have nothing to be enbarrassed about. The King is dead, long live the King is my approach and has been since I started watching the team in 1974. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought JR had "jettisoned" those he deemed not good enough weeks ago. Also a week on from Stubbsy being officially unveiled as Saints new manager there's been no transfer announcements so you'd have to think he doesn't rate any of the guys JR had lined up. Must've been a riveting phone call! Edited June 15, 2018 by Bud the Baker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must've been a riveting phone call! Our first game of the season is four weeks today. We currently have 16 contracted players (that includes Kirkpatrick and Stewart) in our 1st team "squad". It needs to be a busy four weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly in personally assessing the 16 you mention, plus Reilly. This would be normal for an incoming manager to do. Secondly to look again at players which our previous manager had identified and make his own decisions on these and finally then to identify which positions he needs to strengthen taking these into account and then identify and secure the players he wants on contract or loaned. Busy he will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Linwood Plant was also in Elderslie . The boundry was as you leave Linwood about 50yds from the big roundabout which now has the flyover over it.

That's more or less as I remember (now you have pointed it out) thank you. It's just a little confusing when some people refer to Linwood and others to Elderslie.

Callum Gilhooley Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 Braehead is in Renfrew (unless you mean Braehead in Glenburn, of course). You're right about Asda and the airport. Renfrews in Paisley as well, we’re claiming it. So is Linwood, Elderslie, Johnstone, Erskine & Bishopton . We are annexing the lot of them .But we don’t want Barrhead.
