Stu Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 6 hours ago, Stuart Dickson said: It would have said the club was trying something different yet in line with their pledge to work more closely with community organisations. Don't get me wrong, Laughlin and Sinclair weren't my preferred choice either but at least I could have seen logic in that direction. I can't see what the board have been attracted to by Ross at all. You certainly made some weird posts if they weren't your preferred candidates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A man working at a club operating on half the turnover that St Mirren had last season and yet who's side have 4 points out of 6 in the Europe League.

Bud the Baker Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Oh well I'd have picked Ross from the shortlist div posted a few days ago. Extremely unimpressed at the prospect of John Potter being Assistant - his spell in charge of Dunfermline was, erm, extremely unimpressive.

Leave a team he has in a great position to advance past the group stage in the europa league.. to come to a team bottom of the Scottish championship who have had 5 managers in 3 years. I'm sure he would have jumped at the opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaside Nipper Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Good luck to Jack Ross. He is now the manager so at least we can support him into this role. I think it's a positive move, obviously no guarantee comes with any appointment but under the circumstances I reckon he's a decent appointment. As an ex player as well from more recent times he'll at least know about us and having a familiarity with the club set up that should help. He will be aware of our expectations I'm sure, he'll obviously know himself that st mirren aspire and require to be well above where we presently reside. Let's hope the guy does well and support him. At least he speaks well so he can if required dress up failure in an articulate way. I'll leave my request for a full tempo energy rich high pressing game till we push for play offs in March next year. [emoji8] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotstounSaint Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 This has got to be the most bitter post I have ever read from you Top Cat. Ok get Ross was not top of your list but to go on a Stuart Dickson style witch hunt with Ross is well below your normal standard. Give it a rest mate get behind the manager and team and lets see what unfolds over the next few months ( not weeks ) I didn't read any bitterness. Just realism. JR is a very similar appointment to Murray and Rae. That's true.I think it's safe to say all Saints fans wish him success though. That's just obvious.

Froggie Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Thankfully those in charge must read this forum and took heed of the Frogs post from yesterday. From the apparent shortlist of names, I would have chosen JR as well, so lets see how things work out. Maybe a good idea not to start until the next league game as a cup exit on his debut would be rather inauspicious. Good luck to Jack Ross, it could be the making of him and salvation for Saints.

Well I might not be as smart as him, but I reckon another definition of insanity would be St Mirren FC. If we were appointing the same manager I'd agree...
