But will he regret not going if say 4 months into next season st mirren are bottom of the prem and hes on the brink of being punted. That's a position Morton will never be in again and its not because they are any good, its because Morton aren't any good and the stadium is a disgrace that will never pass top league standards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cappielow would be fine for the Premiership, as has been proved numerous times on here. Not that it will matter any time soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_M Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Saints fans won't give a damn, but seems he was interested in the gig but wasn't getting it. The Barnsley version of McG was on their forum throughout saying that a Portuguese guy was their first choice and the press hadn't picked up on it. Maybe Ross intimated to the board that if it was a choice between the Barnsley offer, and the status quo, Barnsley would have got him, hence the frantic meetings and the new contract offer making him your highest paid manager ever. Whether he'd have taken the Barnsley gig over the increased St Mirren offer, nobody will ever know but seems more than likely his decision was getting made for him and he was happy to receive the extra rewards. St Mirren won't be that bothered. The fans delighted he stayed, the club covering the costs of the increased contract by increasing the compensation required when he does leave. It's been a good story to follow, and obviously from an outside point of view, fans of other clubs hoped it would help make the run in a little more interesting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfectly put and to everyone connected to the club it is a boost ahead of one of our hardest remaining games. Feels like we just won a match despite not playing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 So Jack Ross has turned Barnsley down and Wycombe had an approach to speak to their manager and Toshack was interviewed......but this Portuguese boy was definitely the first choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wycombe manager being approached and Toshack, Ross and the Portuguese guy all being interviewed seems like a robust recruitment process when they wanted a quick appointment and has no bearing on whether or not one of them was first choice.And who said Ross 'turned them down?' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same people that say Ross turned us down despite us just dropping interest when our first choice done a u-turn. It's impressive spin by St Mirren - which gives them a boost on the pitch as well as off it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCann comes across like an absolute fucking baloon in post match interviews. Edited February 16, 2018 by glenburn bud 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither was my reply to be honest. Just an observation of events going on at Dens, with the current squad you have I would expect you to have been doing better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddist Monk Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I'm loving the "he's shit and was never offered the job" comments from the same posters who were throwing out the "it's a done deal, no brainer, he's gone"..

Rightly, or wrongly, we were still pursuing Ross until the point that McCann phoned Nelms saying he'd changed his mind. I'm happy the way it has worked out (Provided we stay up of course) because it's been hilarious watching St Mirren absolutely bitch this league and United. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
