ArabFC Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Whatever your thoughts on the merits of this decision, the turnover of managers over the last few years has been ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what other job would you be sacked for being bad at your job and get a pay off. Football contracts are mental. At most jobs actually. Although not after two months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens all the time in real life - notice period has to be paid unless it's gross misconduct. I doubt they're paying Ross any more than his contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Cabbage Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 On 15/06/2022 at 15:26, Les Cabbage said: Good luck with Mr Ross. Shite football and losing big games regularly will definitely be on your radar. In terms of positives, he seemed to be really quite well liked by the players and still seems to be, obviously we did manage 3rd but it was the most miserable season in history of a team to finish 3rd, boring football, not in stadiums and losing 3 times at Hampden, obviously one of those wasn’t Ross’ fault, as much as I’d like to blame him for the pandemic. Mid table but bored to tears inbound for you I reckon. I was torn to bits for this but my prediction was actually too positive 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds from 'relieved of his duties' that he's still employed just asked not to manage the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing they will say you can get your full contract paid over the original period or take 75% as a one off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggie_Murray7 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I mean, wasn’t it obvious that a team with Harkes, Middleton and McGrath would lack a bit of steel and fight? I don’t see a single player in the United squad who would show a bit of fight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drooper Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Everyone will have an opinion on this, and I reckon that's a reflection on how Ross' career has developed. Some coaches go about their business in a fairly low-key manner, but JR has always had a high profile persona, and seems to have courted that. As a result, a certain mythology has grown around him, and folk have been monitoring his progress closely, many harbouring a hope that he'll fall on his arse. My view is that his previous (relative) success relied heavily on his coaching and backroom colleagues. He is a figurehead type. Articulate and polished. More style than substance. He'll be a Sky pundit within a month. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what other job would you be sacked for being bad at your job and get a pay off. Football contracts are mental. If it had been an "ordinary" job he'd be given time to improve, offered retraining, support from a mentor etc. In football that tends not to happen. The terms of his contract have been broken by early termination, like any other manager he is due payment for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see where his next job is because his reputation has been damaged so much but his ego will still be fighting him to drop down the leagues. So, aye, pundit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
