Either a) We were right and Jack Ross is not our manager or b) Jack Ross IS our manager and we'll all be rightly thrilled. Very silly indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he won the league but was the football any good, did he spend a lot of money or did he just get very lucky? He's genuinely been our best manager in the past 20 years. The football by and large was good, liked his 442 with two wingers staying wide, he got criticised allot for not having a plan b when either Cardle, Willie Gibson or Davie Graham weren't playing well we didn't play well, we got promoted out of a league that was a poor standard though, budget then got reduced for our Premiership season and we had a weaker squad, all in all I liked him. I'd take him over Crawford. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take him over Crawford. Didn't get spoken about enough how much his hands were tied when we got promoted. As grim as season 11/12 was, he was a great manager for us. Did very well with QOTS and with County in the main.Will always be linked with the managers vacancy here whenever it rises. I expect he'll be back at Dunfermline again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because they're convinced that he said bad things to their saviour Stephen Kenny and acted badly to get him fired. This despite Kenny himself saying that he was simply not ready at the time for such a role and was out of his depth due to his inexperience. Most folk on that site seem to be convinced that Kenny was some sort of misunderstood genius who was forced out of East End due to a nefarious cabal led by Nipper and McIntyre. They think that he would have got us promoted and challenging for Europe had he not been sacked, with some posters even saying that he would have been our Alex Ferguson.

DA Baracus Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I would be very wary of appointing McIntyre. He was abysmal at Dundee, quite literally the worst in their history based on win percentage. Plus I'd hate to see that cretin Billy Dodds at East End. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also a local lad, whose brother made hundreds of appearances for Kilmarnock. Killie were also a top flght side, with a lot more potential for growth in the short-term. Other than those points, a very good comparison. Oh calm down man. Surely you can see the point I was making? His move to Killie was widely recognised as a bit of a coup at the time. He'd managed in the EPL and was/is a highly respected coach. No-one expected his next move to be to a struggling SPFL club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfectly calm. You made a half-baked comparison and I pointed out the obvious differences that made it irrelevant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it ever crossed your mind that having 1000 more home fans every week is completely redundant when we've been getting mammoth away crowds for a decade, including a European game where we had over 8000 home fans? It's absolutely beautiful how many fans of "bigger clubs" cant fathom out how them constantly fucking up despite spending more money doesnt automatically mean we're cheating because we're successful with less. Maybe if you spent your money better, you wouldnt be where you are. Dry yer eyes mate 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't been in management for 5 years, but, even at that, I don't think he'd take a job that would pay so low, compared to what he has been used to in the past. Crawford is a dead man walking and, although it might be a tad disrespectful talking about a successor, it has absolutely got to happen at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
