Morton supporter I work beside doesn't want to see his team to go up. He says he enjoys them winning games, but believes they're not capable of doing that regularly in Premiership.

We are no way competing with them, and no in way do they have the best supporters in the world. Best supporters? They barely qualify as human beings. Anyway, great news on Jack staying. Now lets get back to work and make sure everything is in place for a very important match tomorrow. Aye, we've a few of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porks Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 I might be wrong but my reading of this is that porks is just saying JR was diplomatic in his rejection of Barnsley. Yes Saint, thanks for answering for me. [emoji16] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The news coming out of our end and what l posted before he made his statement is that after a day of interviews Ross wasn't the front runner and he was aware of this. By 5pm yesterday both Ross and Toshack (who the BBC were both touting as front runners) were not our boards choice. Great news for you guys and surely he will go on now to secure promotion for you. Who knows, the new guy may even give Mallan a game Best of luck for rest of the season, looks like you have a cracking set up up there.

Drew Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Whether Jack was offered the Barnsley job, and how much he was offered by our BoD to stay at St Mirren, are neither here nor there to me. The fact is, here he is staying, and I think that is tremendous news, and also a great boost for everyone going into a hugely important game tomorrow. Time to put this episode behind us and focus on winning this league. We have Jack Ross to thank for getting us this far, and I won't be forgetting that regardless of any behind the scenes machinations. COYS!

Tommy Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Ross is worth every penny that the club pays him when you consider what he had done for the club in the last 16 months or so in league positioning. He also had to sell 3 of our best young players bringing in around 900K and instead of the team being weaker, it is actually stronger now. I think I have read all 41 pages on this and hundreds of posts and I may be wrong, but I don't recall seeing any from Top Cat Strange that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much work would Cappielow need done on it? We can perhaps afford to get promoted but nothing will compare with the past 12 months in terms of enjoyment and watching a winning team on the park. However, IF we get promoted this season, we will likely be struggling next season to keep up with the 'big boys' such as St Johnstone, Kilmarnock and Motherwell (not to mention those outwith our financial sphere) based on our previous experiences in the SPL. Our one big difference this time is that we have a competent manager in Jack Ross to take us up one level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shull Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 The SPFL Premiership would be much more attractive to play in if there was no Celtic and Sevco. That would mean all 12 Clubs would have a chance to win it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best, and tell him to get Mallan in the team! We normally put them on rolling 1 year contracts. Interesting comment from our CEO Chief Executive Gauthier Ganaye spoke to barnsleyfc.co.uk after concluding the search for the Reds’ new man. He said: “We’re really, really pleased to have secured the Club’s number one target from the start of the process. We invited José to the Sheffield Wednesday match and began talks immediately with him and his representatives. To be fully transparent, we ran a fair and full interview process. We spoke to a lot of Head Coaches who were both in and out of employment. The interviewed candidates were all strong contenders, but the unanimous decision was to appoint José who instilled the full board with the belief that he is the right man to lead us up the table, whilst bringing excitement back to the Club with an attacking style and goals for the fans to enjoy.

Edinbuddie Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Good luck to Barnsley. Magic and BFC seem like reasonable guys. We all want the best for our clubs. No need for some of the ‘pub league’, ‘team full of binmen’ pish on social media platforms. But we’ve all got our roasters, as every thread on here shows [emoji41].
