Our form since he had the Barnsley talks was hardly electric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's already been quite a few idiotic posts about JR to make his mind up, etc. How quickly some forget, that's if they previously had the ability to remember . Fixed the grammar for you.

DLBud Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 So why was an offer put on the table if he was not wanted ? Go back and read my post. I said that maybe due to his lack of pace and aerial prowess maybe we’d offered him what he was worth and he feels he’s worth more.Also, he’s plied his trade in the lower end of English football and the second tier of our game. Of course he has shortcomings and anyone who has watched Harry play knows what they are.Certainly everyone who sits around me on a Saturday knows. Doesn’t make him a bad player and I’d like to have kept him but we move on now as he’s made his decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLBud Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 My thoughts exactly. For instance, we might be delighted with an 8th placed finish next season, but clubs like Ipswich are not going to be scrambling to get him signed up for finishing 8th. As you say, it certainly won't win him another Manager of the Year. To improve his stock further he needs either a Top 6 finish or success in the cup, and I'm sure he knows that. I just don’t subscribe to this notion at all. I’m pretty sure keeping us in the Premiership will be seen as a very positive thing on Jack’s CV and people running football clubs will see that there is more to him.Not suggesting that this should influence Jack’s decision at all as the money itself should be enough to get him packing his bags, if offers, IMO.

Smart cookie is our Jack. PS. I could be wrong. I think the bookies are just reacting to the money being placed. Today Shrewsbury reached the play off final. Out of respect it seems we won't approach Hurst until their season is over and we're wondering if that means we will wait and run the risk of someone else pinching Ross - or whether we might bite the bullet and offer him the job this week. To be honest - I don't think anyone has a clue. Edit; I think we will offer him the job this week. P.S. I could be wrong.

Ipswich appointing Ross is a far greater risk than appointing Hurst. Hurst is proven in England in lower leagues and well capable of stepping up to Championship. Ross has won effectively the English Conference if your being generous about Scottish Championship ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 I wonder if the club should be breaking cover to acknowledge that this is actually happening. I suppose there isn't a great deal to say, but the season is now technically over as all the leagues have been decided, and we are entering a critical period of rebuilding. Even something glib along the lines of 'business as usual' might placate some of the more restless in our number. From a personal point of view, I'm pretty much in the what will be will be camp, right enough. From the club's perspective, I'm not really sure what they can do about this other than wait like the rest of us, but it might be best to issue some form of limited confirmation by way of an update.
