He just took the Stoke job, no? 1 hour ago, Lex said: Also the statement doesn’t mention mutual consent. Have they paid off his full contract? Ooft, expensive. Where’s the money coming from? Asghar was in the paper saying they're turning a profit (with wages at something like 130% to turnover). He's now got an excuse of paying Ross off for when they post massive losses. Also, *waves to Tony*. How's it going you fat pig rata? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First was in 2017 before McCann took the job full time, second was after McGhee was let go but who knows if he was spoken to after McPake was sacked. And memories are very short, not many Dees were dead against appointing him a few weeks back despite what allegedly happened the 1st time we were sniffing around (although that may have been more down to Nelms than Ross). Much will depend on how things go for us between now and Christmas. Bowyer still has credit in the bank but he's used up a fair bit over the past few weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who ever comes in needs to sign a couple of defensively minded players at a minimum and get a couple of players out on loan so the squad isn't so unbalanced. And 2 days to do it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoF Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 That "statement" is telling. f**k knows what it tells, but it's telling. There's a trend for managers to put their own statements out via the league managers association. I'm hoping for scandal and war. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Sporting Director Tony Asghar said: “Jack Ross is one of the best managers we could have brought to the club. We’re delighted he’s here. “He’s vastly experienced, he knows how to plan and build a squad. “We have been working through a strategic plan for the last three and half years and this is an exciting part of that journey. “We are building a good young squad that is balanced with experience with an aim to continually get into the top six and challenge in cup competitions.” That was 71 days ago. Today, he gets sacked with no thank you or good luck message from the club. What a total calamity. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pull My Strings Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 26 minutes ago, captainkev said: It's absurd to be sacking a manager so soon but this had turned so badly so quickly. God knows what Ross has done that has managed to hack off a group of players so fast who were trying for Tam Courts last season. Even if it turns out Ross has been a massive arsehole and clashed with folk left, right and centre, the lack of effort or professional pride in the last few games has been shocking. The squad have gotten what they wanted, as they were always going to, especially with the transfer window about to shut. But the last month has left very few of them with any credit. All true, but of course sacking a manager after just seven games is less absurd than continuing with a manager who has overseen 7-0 and 9-0 thumpings within that period. It's already absurd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven W Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Personally I'd have gave him the next couple of games, and asked what players want to play for the jersey and what players don't. I'm really disappointed in a fair chunk of players. If we win tomorrow night, it'll be clear as day whats been going on. Another issue is our finances don't come anywhere near to stacking up. And this just compounds the matter further. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why it’s different and needs to be paid up. Plenty of folk do sign fixed term contracts tbf. The distinction with football managers is their contract doesn't include the option to terminate early by giving notice (although plenty apparently do include early termination clauses on payment of a fixed sum). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the first thing the new person has to do is sort out any dissent in the dressing room at whatever the cost. Then sign a decent DM. On a separate note, can loans occur outwith the transfer window? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you're fighting a relegation/bottom 6 battle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabianKnight Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I've just been sacked from a fixed term 1 year contract. Early within probationary period mind you. Shame I'll not get the rest of that contract paid off. On another note @Pull My Stringsdon't suppose you want a wee discrimination case to handle? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Anyone in the real world can be relieved of their duties within the 1st 2 years of employment as long as they are paid their notice.
