Also JR earning multiples of his St Mirren salary at Ipswich would surely be enough of an incentive for his wife to temporarily disrupt her own career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upping sticks and moving around is part and parcel of football. That is undoubtedly one of the downsides for those involved in the game, but at the level we are talking about here they are financially well compensated so I'm sure it's worth it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, but wouldn't be the first time managers and players have turned down moves for family reasons. Didn't Jack leave Hartlepool because of homesickness? Not saying he won't take the Ipswich job, but it must be a fairly big consideration when you have young kids . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be a life changing move which could be a stepping stone to a mind boggling move if successful given the money in football down south. Can't see anything other than becoming Ipswich manager he is only one hour away from flights to Glasgow from Ipswich. I' praying we can get Robbie Neilson once this move for Ross is confirmed . Ross having a good relationship with Scott I'm sure he will have told Scott all about Neilson who he worked under at Hearts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearest airport to Ipswich that has direct flights to Glasgow International is Stansted, 53 miles away.

Buddist Monk Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Ross/Ipswich: For me the Ipswich job relies on two things; first is whether Ross is a genuine candidate - at this point I feel he's making up the numbers, second is leaving a job half done. It was more the latter that persuaded me strongly he'd not take the Barnsley job and he didn't and I believe that is still a strong motivator for him. He could go South, of that there is no doubt, I am not sure he will and in fact as the days go on I feel it's getting less and less likely. Now, if you were to ask me what will happen next season - regardless of where we end up - I would be surprised if he's still here. O'Hara/Holt: Of the two I've been impressed with O'Hara but it's fair to say I haven't seen a lot of the guy. However if he did sign it would be a real coop for us, as he's been touted as interesting both sides of the OF (pinch of salt always with the red tops, of course). Maybe Celtic will buy him and immediately loan him back out, after all it's worked for us already! Can't say I've noticed Holt much, but maybe that's not such a bad thing. You tend to get noticed if you are brilliant or dreadful, workman like consistency rarely gets attention. That said if we were to fill the team 3/4 full of consistent workman like players I wouldn't be too disappointed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't pretend to be an Engish genius I am who I am and comfortable with it. I get it might rattle some not much I can do about that but life has been good to me in other words English has not held me back.

Similar salary to Ipswich you would presume. I do think it's more likely he'll go this time but if he does I don't think it'll be for the money. McInnes, Neilson, Yogi, Lennon, Pressley, Stubbs almost all more experienced and successful than JR but all lasted less than 2 years down there in recent times. The big wage didn't last long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttocks Brown Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I also think the shine is beginning to come off the English game more than just a wee bit for a number of reasons. The constant sackings being one of them. There are more folk bigging up our game in Scotland now. McInnes turning down Sunderland had people nodding their heads and is maybe a turning point. Sportscene on a Saturday night again please! By the way, what was JR's managerial ambition when asked recently? Man Utd? Liverpool? Nope. Scotland job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even comparable considering Sunderland were a complete c**t of a club at the time and no manager with a brain cell would touch them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
