Soctty Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 At least Dibble provided some evidence unlike you.Although he isn't really making a relevant point but he did try. [emoji42] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santaponsasaint Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Outside the EPL every time someone is sacked Jack will be mentioned in passing. So we will go through all this again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaside Nipper Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Moi..? Nope but then its not me taking interviews and talking to other clubs. Just imagine, now and the Dundee job if he just said 'No' at the outset... he would have aload less money, and we would all be just talking about our games. Why Sir, I believe u r jealous ????

Glad it's sorted for the moment anyway and very happy that he is still with us. I do agree that it might seem as per the quotation above that he has 'played' the game; but if so, so what, if he was less worldly wise he wouldn't have gotten us to where we are and instead this Saturdays match would be at Cliftonhill playing Albion Rovers. I have no problem with any man making the best of work or potential work opportunities and I would prefer to think of him as a man of principle who intends to do exactly what he has said for months . ie; to get this team back to the premier division. Oh and by the way he might do a better job in Politics tha the majority of the 'bawbags' there at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum Gilhooley Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Good to see the Board have managed to keep Jack . If reports are to be believed JR will now be St.mirrens second highest paid employee ever . After cheesy of course . [emoji6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t see what Ross has done wrong if I’m being honest. I’m enjoying the unusual situation of other clubs actually being interested in our manager rather than us wanting him binned.

Tommy Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Since the season is running out I doubt there will many more managers getting the sack before the end of the season, so hopefully no more shit like this for the next 10 weeks or so. Oh and 39 pages so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thats it over till the next time, lets see how we fair against the (according to some) fantastic managerial qualties of Hopkins. Three more points closer please!

No but then there was a DUFC fan twitter page saying that even if we lost Ross and our season collapsed the most depressing thing about being an Arab at the moment is he still couldn't imagine them taking advantage of any collapse at St Mirren!

It looks like Jack's bailed out before Barnsley have had the chance to offer anyone the job. That would suggest to me he was not really that interested in the post in the first place. Wrong club, wrong time I would think. Result is Jack gets his name out there and gains some interview experience. It's also spun that he chooses to remain with us rather than remaining with us because Barnsley picked someone else. There's the implication that he's rejected Barnsley. That enhances his relationship with St Mirren fans and his reputation in footballing circles. For the club, as a whole, it's a great boost going into an important game. To be honest I am sure St Mirren board, players, management and fans could have done without the distraction. Lets hope normal service resumes on Saturday.

zico Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 That was the anser to the next question, which was, "How does Zico's wife usually refer to him?". We split up last year. She probably refers to me in much worse terms than that. [emoji23] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the relationship and trust built between JR and the board is enhanced even more by the fact that they didn’t deny JR the chance to talk to Barnsley. Maybe rejecting the approach could have had a real negative impact in that relationship and JR could have been tempted to stick 2 fingers up and tried to manufacture an exit.
