Talk In at the Engine Room

[hank williams]

no manager has ever been in total control of signings in he hisroty of football..nor should they be..

Bet Brian Clough was

Every manager should be in charge of who he signs

 

[jackynutmeg]

hostory/hisroty....

 

[sir rowell cummins]

Jack Ross is a decent bloke who fell a bit short tactically. People going on like they hate him are complete arseholes in my humble opinion

 

[kildaremackem]

none of them are..for the simple reason the amount of money they can spnd is diactetd by someone else..

all managers have a chief scout ssuggesting ideas..which is what safc has..but people on here are determiend to make that soud like its somethng unusual to have a chief scout recommending players..and that having such a thing absolves the manager of blame..

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

i would never believe Stuart Barnes...full of shit him like

Doesn't know much about football either. Knows his rugby mind.

 

[Billy Batts]

no manager in the hostory of football ever has been..why would he be?
he did have final say though..

...says who?

 

[chopsfc007]

...says who?

I think not many would of turned down grigg but it did seem like a Donald signing

 

[naughtynose]

And Saturdays performance? Did that make him look like not a wally?

You think we would've been capable of winning a game 5-0 under Ross yes?

You can't blame Wycombe on Parkinson man

 

[zebediah]

He should say that he laid the foundations for the win Tuesday. That would qualify him to become a full member of the "British managers club"

 

[Billy Batts]

I think not many would of turned down grigg but it did seem like a Donald signing

No doubt about it.

 

[chopsfc007]

No doubt about it.

And another example is Maguire didnt he ring Donald about coming after they were together at Oxford thay wasn't a Ross signing

Leadbitter another.

 

[Fletch]

i dont think many hate him, very small minority perhaps, most will say he was a decent bloke but just to cautious, if he could have turned the draws into wins and gone for it a bit more... nevermind
If he ever returns to SOL with another team i very much doubt he would get booed

 

[kildaremackem]

Leadbitter another.

how would leadbetter know donald?

And another example is Maguire didnt he ring Donald about coming after they were together at Oxford thay wasn't a Ross signing

doesnt mean ross wasnt asked if he wanted the player..and ross would know who maguire is..

No doubt about it.

of course he wasnt..why do you think JR is lying?

I'd hope not but i've noticed a few characters on here. In the words of the great Tom Jones 'It's not unusual'.

 

[kildaremackem]

...says who?

says jack ross..who said he is accountable for all signings made while he is manager..

 

[Fetch Fletch]

...says who?

Alex Ferguson

 

[kildaremackem]

Alex Ferguson

at the end of his career he probably had more power than any other manager in hisotry..but that was after 20 years and ransforming the club..

he still had a director of recruitment suggesting players though...and david gill doing the negotiatons..

does that mean they werent his signings?

 

[Billy Batts]

says jack ross..who said he is accountable for all signings made while he is manager..

Reeto. I don't believe him though.

 

[seanwharton]

Why?
I just said I would have respected Ross more if he had resigned.
I know most Managers wait for the payoff, but Ross knew the financial situation at the club.
