Slarti Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Do you REALLY believe that…? [emoji33] Well, the majority of the world's population believe in some sort of god/gods/higher power, so yes, I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antrin Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Naw…. I’d aimed that comment solely at :- “The world's population is mainly made up of people that are disconnected from reality in one respect or another.” …which might have been mildly mocking, but editing f**ked it up.. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belfast billy Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 I have a mate in London who played with West Ham and his best mate is Jon Obika. At the moment Jon is playing for Morcambe. I wonder could we see an old face back in the summer. Anyway great appointment is Stephen as our new manager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddieinEK Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Potentially a fantastic bit of business by Saints, who have obviously done their homework, drawn up a shortlist, identified a preferred candidate and gone out of their way to get what they want.Nice to see us on the front foot and aiming high.Robinson speaks very well, is experienced in our league, and seems the perfect fit to take us up another step.

djchapsticks Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 9 hours ago, dumbarton_bud said: From what I've been told, we were looking at offering Jack Ross about £200k p/a. 130k p/a for 2.5 years doesn't seem outwith the realms of possibility, but it does surprise me that that's the highest amount we've ever paid a manager. £2.5k p/w sounds about right for highest paid manager at the club. Realistically, who will we ever have paid more to? You could say at a push Stubbs but then we were freshly promoted at that point and not at all established so it's highly unlikely.

Don't know why but I had it in my head that we were paying Jack Ross about £150k around the time he was being linked with Dundee/Ipswich, when promotion was basically a certainty and we could speculate a little. That said, the £2.5k a week figure makes a lot more sense when you put it in that context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakling inmy boots! Look forward tomeeting you for a "pint" hardman. Oh. And. Here's someone else who is in doubt about your definite claim Goodie wants Broonie. Aberdeen told to 'give Scott Brown the respect he deserves' with Celtic legend's future up in the air - Football Scotland Now. Go back to your dummy. It'll be like looking in a mirror.

Which is what I was alluding to in my original post. I'm not sure Goodie would want such a high profile player casting his shadow and I'm not sure Broonie would be happy to drop back to being "just" a player. Like I said. Interesting times.

He will have to drop a couple of divisions if he see his future in management, even coaching me think or stay where he's handsomely paid for now.

Mainstand Sweary Mob Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 From what I heard both Brown and Naismith were not in the running for anything. It was them "leaking" to the press about the link to a vacancy. This was so they themselves could gauge what the response and chat was around this. Then the stories come out once they know what the response is to say they pulled out the running. Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
