I came off the forum after being touted as a fullarton plant (giving honest opinions I thought)...but popped my head in after yesterday to see the reaction 
Anyone who wants JR binned just now needs to give their head a wobble. I criticised the 'linkedin' recruitment ad...and I still do ...and havent been blown away by the summer signings so far...but they are HIS signings and this will be HIS team shortly so let him get judged on that. Its far too early in the season to go mental.
Ross has shown that he cant talk well and clearly isnt a dafty and has shown that he can put a team out that can compete ,that previously weren't.
Any manager will live and die by his signings whether its staff or players and JR is no different.
I think the guy will get it right ...and if he doesnt then results will dictate whether he stays...thats just football I'm afraid

Ross has to get the window to at least try and get his own players in .. the chairman said this wasn't a short term appointment so his credibility is at stake here too. 
Today was dire, totally dire but a manager should at least get the opportunity to bring players in who he sees fits how he wants to play etc.
with money being in short supply I don't hold out much hope but sacking Ross isn't the answer .. in my opinion , we look doomed anyway 

He turned the job down.
He said we needed more than a miracle.

very moral of you Shull but back in the real world Falkirk took 3 points today and we are 10 adrift.
Professionals need to wisen up and realise that teams wont just give us wins

Get a few goals tonight and try and kick on . Ross was right , you won't get any real credit regardless so get through it with no injuries and try to get some momentum for the next game 

But surely folk are entitled to voice their concerns ? 

Absolutely , sacking Ross would be mental given the rhetoric from the chairman. He's in post now so he needs backing 

Some journalists you are. You don't have to be linked to him to see the responses

Serious question. Do you actually watch St Mirren games ? Don't  you see how unbalanced the squad is Rae's squad.

Totally agree but it shows you just how many clubs appoint managers with long term ambitions only to panic when things get tough ..even after a few months 
the fans (and players obviously) have a huge part to play in keeping folk in post

Worth a try I guess and to be fair who knows what might come of it, lets be honest we havent exactly signed a team of world beaters through the conventional method this season!!!!!!!!
 

Any chance we can stick a few players on eBay? No returns excepted.

I heard the"Irish lad" answered a personal column ad thinking it was a burd?

I recently filled a job vacancy using LinkedIn. First step was to put out a feeler just like Fowler's, which was shared and reshared by the HR consultant who was helping me. We got the guy we wanted within days and i got to sift through all the dross, without having to speak to them if I didn't already know them.
 
Yes, it was a "roll-up" call to loads of people who needed a job and either didn't have or had lost what it takes.  I didn't drown in a sea of pish.
 
That last statement is currently under review due to the content of this thread.  I'm looking out the waders from under my desk.

I've been supportive of them and never post anything negative but I'm depressed at this as it shows exactly where we are at this time. That word 'innovative' is mentioned again ... it's not innovation .. it's an admittance that , regardless of a scouting network being in place or not , Ross and Fowler (in my opinion) look very inexperienced in realising what we need and who can fit in. I'll say it again .. I hope they prove me wrong but I'd have expected a new team to come in , realise where we are weak before taking the job and identify targets .. this looks desperate to me 

Just when I was down .. it got worse 
Our assistant manager advertising for 'senior pros who are free agents' on LinkedIn.. really ??!
Is this the extent of Ross and Fowlers strategy and contact list ? 
I despair .. this kind of thing I would expect from a boys club team .. not us
And that's not even mentioning that we are supplementing a team of poor senior pros with potentially more !! .. what's going on ? :0(
 

This isn't recruiting a new business development manager or an engineer .. this is about a manager knowing his market and if you think a player found through LinkedIn will improve our situation then I hope I'm wrong and this is a master stroke ... I very much doubt it 

Sorry  ..I missed that , apologies 
I agree, I think this is amateur hour from Fowler and highlights that he and Ross are scraping the barrel in terms of contacts and a 'network' .. it's just poor form and not what any professional club should be doing to get players in 

At least he's looking ?? Seriously ??
surely a manager should lay out some sort of strategy for the club moving forward when he gets interviewed by the board  ? ... that can't be 'I'll stick an advert out and see what happens' this isn't a request for gig tickets or selling a sofa .. this is about our management team hopefully having some sort of network already to know who IS available in the positions they identified BEFORE they started ? Not some amateur hour advert on some business network site .. I find this totally depressing

The contact details are there Shull .. fire in a reply .. if you're on a free 

They should just get Football Manager and fire that up for a few days - that's the way to do it...
