I have thought that Johnston at Dunfermline puts out a good side The championship is a regular firing ground for managers. Owen Coyle probably the most successful manager to make the move from Scotland and succeed (promotion with Burnley), though not many have followed and had success. As you say there are more proven managers who could even do a filler till the end of the season, similar to the job Warnock did with Rotherham last season. I am unsure who I would bring in if it were to happen. Everything right now seems to fit from top to bottom on how things are operating through from youth to first-team. It would have to be a manager with the same philosophies, which would be hard to come by.
February 13, 20188 yr I really can't see there being any truth to this . Jack Ross will see out this season with us as champions. After that , who knows.

That's my feeling too. It would be good if the club issued a statement if for no other reason than to let us all move on and focus on what really matters - winning this league.

Such is the Sun's appetite for on the spot and accurate reporting of an armed incident they lift a photo of the street from Google Maps.

I think it is obvious that every saints fan is pained to think that we can't keep a good manager. As for Celtic, i said sights no lower-that is not even specific
February 13, 20188 yr There's no doubt Jack's stock is high and rising. I would not count him out of any job in this country, although I hope when he does choose to go, it's down south and he makes it big down there.
February 13, 20188 yr Just like any manager/player performing well Jack will always be touted and in frames- Big Deal- its part of success.... Whilst we don't need it ,Barnsley and others do................ We will at some stage lose Jack and no doubt James, so its when not if...................... It wont be Barnsley and it wont be this season................... Jack stock in the summer will be huge I am not worried, speculation on our success is far better than the opposite .... Regardless- Jack has significantly risen our profile and that's a good thing, was only last week a few were mentioning him for the Scotland Job, it cant be ignored just what Jack has achieved in such a short timeframe................... he has taken a broken club, and turned us into potential at the top table................... He has turned years of neglect, into a conveyor belt of talent and assets, he has put on 50% on the gate, shown that 2021 is not a curse but a fortress When Jack does leave us, it will be what's right for him, but for me , he is the one of best managers in Scotland , right up there with Clarke, McInnes and Rodgers.............

Having seen who made the post I know who I'd believe on this occasion, it just amazes me that folk will dismiss a paper out of hand while frothing at the mouth "IT'S IN THE SCUM!!!!11111" but are more than happy to believe someone on Twitter with 4 followers posting from his bedroom while pretending to be an agent.

As I said, nothing official. Overall the Sun, and other such publications, print more "miss truths" than truth. As for twitter, aye, you're not far wrong their either. Time will tell.

Brendan likes Jack,Jack has been to Lennoxtown a few times to see how Sellic train and work......I could see Jack going there in the future.
February 13, 20188 yr Re the scum - I would never believe something published by the scummy rag. While it may be correct sometimes, they also lie, and have lied for decades. They have hacked dead girls' phones, they've propagated hideous lies about tragedies which have left scars for victims and their families, and all manner of other horrible acts, which make it a non-starter as a source of facts or even idle speculation. So no, I'm not going to believe anything that's in that rag. I don't read it, I don't buy it, it's blocked on social media, and I only see when someone posts a screengrab, which is always unfortunate.

I'd be more than surprised, remember, within a year or two was quoted? You really think Celtic would hand over the power to a manager with no experience at any level, apart from possibly a year or so in the top league? IMO, no chance.

The Sun had already amended their report having referred to Barnsley being in a hurry, only to then backtrack when they were able to cite a direct quote where the club referred to taking their time. I appreciate that you're defending your profession to some degree, but there is the indefensible after all.

Not really defending my profession, just amazes me how folk will prefer nonsense on Twitter and forums to the nonsense in the papers. You see it worst during the transfer window with fake agent accounts. Edited February 13, 20188 yr by Stu

That's where source most of their stories these days in any event
