I fully expect JR to be the bookies favourite for this position. Considering as she probably will live for another 30 years that rules Jack out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping , then we can move on ! Move on from what? Three or four lines in the sports page of one newspaper without any foundation or any quotes!? It's business as usual, first stop Livingstone and another 3 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddie Marvelous Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 From HITC..... St Mirren's Jack Ross is the new 10/11 favourite for the Barnsley manager's job, with Sky Bet. It follows a report in the Scottish Sun on Tuesday, which claims Barnsley have been reluctantly granted permission to speak to the 41-year-old. Ross, who was as low as 25/1 beforehand, has swiftly surpassed Mick McCarthy (7/4), Paul Simpson (5/4) to become the new front-runner for the role, vacated by Paul Heckingbottom last week. http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2018/02/13/st-mirrens-jack-ross-is-new-1011-favourite-for-barnsley-managers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny fae Partick' Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) What are the known, knowns here? Barnsley have had 100 applicants 50 of them credible. "Newspapers" like the Sun regularly sensationalise or make up stories as clickbait. There is no evidence to support the claim Barnsley have made an approach. There is no evidence to suggest St Mirren have given Barnsley permission to speak to Jack Ross. Of course this could be on of those rare occasions when press speculation turns out to true and Jack will be away soon. But until I see any evidence I hae ma doobts.

Drew Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 According to Dougie McNeil (reliable, Saints supporting media type), JR is definitely on Barnsley's radar. So be it. There is nothing we can do about it, other than hope that, whatever happens, it won't derail our season,and get along to the game on Saturday to maintain the level of support we have given up till now.

Magic Monkey Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I for one am stunned to see that the Sun is generating stories with no quotes that also relate to betting markets being offered by sister company Sky Bet. 10/11 is a tempting price if you think it looks likely to happen - double your money, near enough. Tempting enough to encourage punters to have a go on a market that they might not have touched/been interested in otherwise. The plot thickens further when you see that, according to oddschecker, only BetVictor and SkyBet are listing prices for this. I do hope this wasn't simply a play to inject some life into a quiet fixed odds market. 7 minutes ago, Buddie Marvelous said: From HITC.....

ged62 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Why not Hopkin? Genuine question. He has links to the unwashed, but that's about it for negatives as far as I can see. What he's doing with Livi this season arguably outweighs what Ross is doing with Saints. Bollocks, you not remember where we were when Jack took over?

Exactly, only a dafty would want to quadruple there wages.. Hopefully it's a pile of shite, but TBH I think Jack will be off at the end of the season, with the championship under his belt they'll be a host of clubs knocking at his door, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 (IF) Jack was to go I would like to see James offered the job and I'm sure he would take it if given the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
