Johnson has won something! Got a team to perform to a level of consistently over a season that enabled them to win their league. Ross has achieved any of those things yet, including managing a team consistently over a season. Will he be here at the end of this season?

Still doesn't tell me what your point was, though. My point is there is a successful young manager within our budget who could be tempted to the 2021 next time we need a manager. i thought that was obvious (Magic Johnson could..! be...) post was in response to another stating they fancied Dunfermline to be challenging this season.

So he he was a game better in avoiding potential relegation than Ross in that season..! he has since go on to manage his side to winning their league, and consolidating their postion in our league, now looking to challenge for promotion/play off chances. Thats a significant positive achievement we havent had for years now, we have battled to stay in the premiership, and we have battled to stay in the championship. Would be nice to get back to battling at the other end of the second tier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack had us playing the best football and getting the best results in the league post-January, after revamping the squad, and is now "looking to challenge for promotion/playoff" too...

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 After that interview he did on Radio Scotland a few weeks back, I doubt very much JR will be heading back to Hearts in a hurry. Sounded like there was no love lost between him and Levein over his departure the last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Back to the thread title.........chances have improved after todays signing. It's been said it's a bit of a gamble but the fact he's been with us and proved his worth makes it less of a gamble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances haven't improved for the Falkirk match or for any game in August and maybe beyond. Squad should have been ready and in place for this Saturday. Although, I still believe a very decent Referee will see us triumph against cheating Falkirk on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of my interest are you ITK of Dung's finances or just guessing based on crowd sizes and the fact they nearly went to the wall a few years back?

The transfer window closes at the end of August. The loan market will come to the fore in the coming weeks. As such, few clubs will have concluded their business before the weekend. That includes our opponents, Falkirk. We will sign two more players. A striker and a midfielder. One possibly before Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my knowledge we've done pre-season training , played pre-season friendly's and played 4 league cup games . How much preparation do want ? If you're referring to the injuries, I'm afraid that's part and parcel of any football team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
