Guest TPAFKATS Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Robert Grieve on Twitter suggesting that Jack will sign new contract when home from holiday. Thank you Jack, but thank you also to Gordon Scott - well played, Sir! Oh ffs!This is all div's fault... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soctty Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 2 minutes ago, div said: I was wrong. Jack is back next week but James has another week of his hols to go so he won't be signing any new deal next week. Unless they fax it to his hotel which would be very 80s. Just need to hope McInnes doesn't leave Aberdeen before he's signed it. He'd be too big a gamble for Aberdeen imo, unless he was alongside an older manager.

Julian Banjos Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 The club have handled this whole episode very well, particularly seeing as most parties involved are on their hols and outside of the country. I'd like to think that Gordon could still have helped out Dundee though by passing on Alex Rae's number. Now back to building the squad...

He nearly got his second team relegated, and He is apparently coming back from holiday to screw us for more money. Well done Jack attaboy@ Is your auld man a pipe fitter by any chance ?

I don't think we have anything to worry about there. Aberdeen's sights will likely be set a good bit higher than Dundee's: Tommy Wright for a start.

Well done Jack attaboy@ Doesn't really matter what you think of his ability. A club in a higher league wanted him as manager and were presumably willing to raise his salary.We either lose our manager to them ( or the next similar club) or we recognise that his stock has risen and he is now worth an improved contract from us.Not sure why you're getting so upset about this. It's hardly a groundbreaking development in football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day I hope that Jack *eventually* moves on to a much bigger club as that will mean he'll have been a big success with Saints. That's surely what we all want, a successful St.Mirren FC!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soctty Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Just now, pod said: Ferguson was 37 when he went to Aberdeen. That was also 40 years ago mate, after 4 years at the club and winning the first division title. Be very surprised if they took that gamble now. Part of that is sheer hope that they don't take that gamble... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he would also be disappointing players that have signed for us believing they were going to be managed by him.

I would like to add that when it comes to LPM and Dicko, it isnt their differing opinions which was the problem for me. It was the way they deliberately and calculatedly threw shit at our club, players, management, training staff, other staff and directors in the hope some of it stuck which was the issue as far as I am concerned. Calling our manager in the current circumstances a "c**t" is just not f**king on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pondsman Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Glad to see that Jack has answered the request for clarification I put in this thread this morning. Also pleased that he is staying. My only other comment is that he could have saved a lot of bother if he'd put his statement out a couple of days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
