Jack Ross should go for the job. Can’t lose to St Johnstone if your are St Johnstone.

Would like to see Marvin Bartley given the opportunity. Probably too soon for him though.

You can try and pretend draws don’t matter, but they’re a hell of a lot better than defeats. Nobody is trying to claim it was exciting. It wasn’t any worse than the dross Jack Ross was serving up by the end though.

Ross’ final games were also dreadful in reality, whether it was results or performances.

And again, Ross didn’t get sacked for getting us third place. He got sacked for taking us on a horror run, a horror run that two incompetent managers since haven’t even managed to match. Again, that alone tells its own story about how bad we were.

One of these days you will let this go, I hope.

Jack Ross was indeed sacked for the run we were on and not his overall record. It was a big mistake, as Ron himself hinted at.

It’s in the past now, we need to look ahead.

Tweet about the reasoning behind sacking Davidson, its grim for St Johnstone fans.

Some not very happy Wigan fans starting to question Maloney.

And yet here you are, yet again, posting about Jack Ross, not letting it go.

I couldn’t care less if Ron hinted it was a mistake. Ron and the board have overall been poor since we were taken over. Forgive me for not taking any of their words as gospel when it comes to football matters.

I posted very similar a few months ago. His league record was terrible from day one. Thank god we never went for him.

And yet those two cup wins in a season remain a spectacular achievement for a club that size.

I don’t think there’s any doubting they were an achievement. But they were 2 or 3 years ago now. He can’t live off it forever.

And they look like a very lucky outlier in a dismal reign.

Some of the fortune they had was unreal. If they played that quarter final against Rangers 100 times, they'd lose 99. That's football though.

Of course they are.

But nobody should be immune from losing their job with that kind of record.

Tommy Wright bit the bullet despite being a cup winner as well.

They also were won under quite bizarre circumstances. I'm not convinced they'd have won both those cups under normal circumstances.

I have absolutely nothing to back that up with :greengrin

I get firing a struggling manager to try and turn a season around, what I don’t get is handing the reigns to either a coach that was part of that failing regime or a player who is basically untested at that level.

Sure, sometimes it works, or if you’re just trying to see out a season with nothing to play for, but if you’re still fighting for Europe or to avoid relegation, it seems very odd to hand it over to a guy who has no real experience at what he’s doing!

It was a recipe for disaster him going there . I watched his post - match Blackpool interview and he's says defense wise they are one of the best now but attacking they are the worst. He talks about the summer, I do wonder will he last that long tbh .

Sounds like similar issues to what we had with him last year. Defensively sound but absolutely no intent to attack, going weeks on end with hardly a shot on goal. Seems like he hasn’t learnt.

Tones of meaningless possession in their own half and absolutely toothless up front? Sounds about right.

Our old favourite Jamie Hamill has been sacked by Stranraer after they lost 8-0 to East Fife.

They’ve struggled for a while but the timing is just weird. They are 9th, 4 points clear of 11th. They can’t sign a striker to solve their scoring problems before the summer.

I think the owners are trying to sell and they’ve panicked.

A few contenders for the St Johnstone job here . First ones thinks he's a magician instead of a 🤡 . :greengrin

It’s not a job if I was an out of work manager, I’d be chasing just now
They are up for sale and you never know who the new owners will fancy

Forgot they were up for sale , probably most managers would have concerns about taking over with them up for sale unless they are of course desperate to get back into management again .
