McG Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Am here mucker. Jack am sure will speak to them over the coming days if not already He didn't apply for the post but St.Mirren wanted to speak to him Over the past 8 months jack has been great for our football club total gentlemen 100% a top class Manager and will go far in the game IMO St.Mirren is the wrong club for him but as a young manager only him can make that call Only time will tell we will know by Tuesday / Wednesday Far to early to speak about replacements at this stage if he does go Jack Ross said he would be interested in the job if offered it hence the reason why the club has asked for permission to speak to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasps1 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Maybe so but he wasn't one of the 49 who applied for the post 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McG Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Where did he say this about? The club aren't going to ask to speak to him if they didn't think he was interested are they?No certainty that Jack Ross is getting it though as we want to speak to 1 other candidate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just wondering if he said it publicly somewhere that's all. If he did it would be quite disrespectful to Alloa who have given him his chance and supported him with a really good budget this season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I'd have thought Jack would want to get a successful season or two under his belt before going elsewhere, a la Paul Hartley, but I suppose football managers have to take their chances when they can; clubs are quick enough to shitcan them if things don't go well for a few games, although thankfully that's not something we do. If St Mirren are just after someone to keep them up and build for the future, it might be tempting. If they're still expecting someone to challenge for promotion, I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasps1 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) We as a club will always lose good young managers simple if other clubs want our mangers that means they are doing a good job for us Give credit to our Chairman and Board they appointed JR knowing if he done a job he would move on Yes it's only been 8 months but he has got us up and running again at a good level If am bring honest I hope he doesn't get it . Am sure everyone at the club would like to keep him another 8 months plus But he's a good man manager honest guy who will go far in the game St.Mirren am sure want a manager to come in and finish mid table this season. Simple as that !!! Edited October 2, 2016 by Wasps1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The appointment will be long term, chairman has said he wants a manager who plays exciting football and will give youth a chance by bringing through the under 20s into the 1st team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasps1 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 In my view St.Mirren will be a Championship team for 2/3 years 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 In my view St.Mirren will be a Championship team for 2/3 years I don't disagree with that, good chance we could be in the league longer than that as well, we need to make sure we stay up this season though 1st of all.New chairman wants stability at the club, I think Jack Ross fits the bill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that was the view for your past 2 appointments. I can't see JR getting much success at St Mirren if he goes, he should stick at Alloa & get more experience under his belt with a team he's built. He's going into a similar position as he was when he joined alloa last season and I thought he was glad to be out of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasps1 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I know Danny Lennon didn't have a good time at Alloa but am I not right to say he had St.Mirren very much stable as a premiership club for 4 years and won a cup . Why was he binned. My contacts say Player power and a weak Chairman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Sportsound was always reporting that the fans had turned on DL by the end of his time there. I can remember them asking ol' Chicky what more they wanted than a League Cup and relative stability in the top drawer. You know, 'cause Chic's a St Mirren fan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddie06smfc Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Jack Ross wasn't at the game last night. Danny Lennon was binned because after the cup win our form was horrific. At the time I didn't have a problem with the decision, when it transpired that Tommy Craig was his replacement then I had a problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
