Don't forget that Jack is in competition with Cameron Toshack who has some good credentials for the Barnsley job. He guided the Swansea U23s to a League title over Chelsea, Arsenal, Man U etc. He knows the English game and has coached young players with great success. He also has international coaching experience with Wales and Macedonia. He has no management experience however.

as someone posted earlier, there may have been a clause in the new deal allowing Jack to speak to other clubs if certain conditions applied

Pretty sure there would have been a clause in there, as well as a compensation figure, after the Dundee business in the summer. I'm sure Jack's agent would have insisted on those, as he will with any new deal he signs...

Doubt that they were looking to have a new man in by this weekend
No they weren't.

The original story said "They want a new man in place by this weekend for the Match against Burton Albion" which unsurprisingly the journalist who wrote it didn't bother to find out the game is next midweek.

It is dragging on too long. The talk from the club this week should have been all about rallying the troops for our biggest and most important game of the season , instead we're bogged down with talk of our manager speaking to another club. Even if he stays now there will be some damage to morale . The whole situ has not been handled very well at all .

Too long?  Barely 3 days? How quick do you think this could have taken? 

IF it's resolved today/tomorrow it'll have been completed pretty quickly IMO.

So I was right then.

If true, we can't just keep giving him more money every time another club is in for him. 

No, but we can do it in the short-term to maintain stability and get us over the line this season and hopefully into next season in the Premier League. Short term pain for longer term gain

GLS is a proven shrewd operator. He'll have a plan B if Jack Ross goes. 
He'll also have a much higher overall calibre of applicant CV landing on his desk than 18 months ago. 
Chairman should always have an idea of who is a replacement for their manager. Any manager is only roughly a fortnight at most away from leaving.
I wouldn't doubt GLS would have a plan B, albeit he may not have been expecting to use it this season.

Need to consider as well that barnsley would be taking a gamble on Jack. They're sitting in the relegation zone. They've got a lot of investment. They might want someone with a more proven record in the English game than jacks first full season in the Scottish championship..

If they wanted someone with a proven record in the English game, why interview him in the 1st place  ?  Assuming he had had a interview with them.

Ok lets put this into perspective

 

Alex leaving us hardly had a neg impact did it ?

I am resigned to fact that if he leaves, then hey life goes on, I support Saints not Jack Ross

We will be fine, he is a super young man and regardless ,I will say thanks for what you have done, you have taken us from darkness and shown us the light ( Praise the Lord) and the best of luck in the rest of your career..............

Unless he signs for Morton  :P

It's definitely a gamble fir them as they need a short term fix to get them to end if season survival.
They ate looking at a guy from the lower leagues in Scotland with no experience at that level to save them over a dozen or so games without the benefit of a transfer window.

Jack would be getting a massive increase in his wage but could potentially be sacked by end of season.

Hope he stays, understand if he goes.
