Lichtie78 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Have to agree. The disappointment of Alloa fans is understandable and it is possible that Ross could be an Ian Murray style flop and regret the move, but you can't blame him for taking the chance. You only have to look at Paul Sheerin and Colin Cameron for examples of how staying could have gone wrong for him - managers who were highly rated for the jobs they were doing at the top of League 1/bottom of the Championship and were linked with bigger jobs but didn't move. After a few years the form of their teams went downhill and their reputations and jobs went with it, ending their hopes of managing at a higher level. Okay, nine months is a short time in charge, but for all Jack Ross knows he could have ended up waiting another three years before another opportunity to move to a bigger club arose. Tbf Paul Sheerin is now Aberdeen u20s manager and a first team coach so it hasn't worked out that badly for him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I get what you mean, just wouldn't have put him in the same category as Colin Cameron who I think was last seen as a trialist for Lochore Welfare 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see where Dunnings coming from back in 2012 you would have expected both Sheerin and Cameron to eventually move into managerial positions with neither of them doing so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMartyn86 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 You think Jackie McNamara would be a good shout for the job? He is leaving York City and before the nonsense at Dundee Utd started he seemed to be promising. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigy Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 That list is totally uninspiring to say the least, out of that lot would probably take Paatelainen or Goodwin, maybe Ian Murray if he had learned from his mistakes at St.Mirren. Who is Gordon Young by the way?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Mark Wilson is hands down one of the worst players I've seen pull on the white and gold since...well, since we switched back to white and gold. Doesn't mean he won't be a good manager though - I think he was quite highly thought of at Dundee United and had been helping out with their youth teams before joining us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
