Does it make any actual difference? Surely you can’t just stand in the way of someone leaving against their wishes? Can’t see how that would be productive in any way.

Rascal Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 We have been here before. Best sorted quickly. If Aberdeen are keen then they may well agree a package before formal talks with Jim. The step up in salary might amount to over £200k pa over the contract term. No point in keeping what then might be an unhappy manager. Having said that I would prefer that he didn’t go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 If Aberdeen really want JG as their next manager then there's nothing we can do to stop it happening. It'll be all about negotiating the best compensation deal possible. Then we will appoint Jack Ross as his replacement and we'll be in a secure place in the premiership with a decent manager. WIN / WIN IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liar, I sat for nearly an hour with a tenner in front of me and it didn't utter a single word. I think Jim may be a man of principle. He could have came to us and increased his income but said it was too early for him. I reckon he won't go as he is holding out for the wigan job. 🙂 Edited February 15, 2022 by truesaint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear such words come easy when there are no carrots currently being dangled in front of you. Hope I’m wrong though but I have a bad feeling. However the blow would be greatly softened if JR was his replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanburyBud Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 A typical scenario in the life and times of our club. Just when we gain a little momentum in our season, albeit after a poor spell prior to the break, and a spanner gets thrown in the works. Not too dissimilar to when Ross left after winning the league. now that the approach has been made I only see it ending with us seeking a new manager. I’m not sure if it’s a good move for him at this point but that’s of no consequence. The important thing is the impact and disruption it could have on our team and club. Time will tell….

Tommy Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 Goodwin knocked back Hibs when he was a player, so maybe extra £££££ is not that important to him as job satisfaction. Hope he stays and JR can go back to being boss of Alloa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints have told Aberdeen they can't talk to Jim until a financial package is put in front of them. That would be £250,000. Aberdeen have yet to match this. If they do, they will get to talk to Jim. I think they will go elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
