Turned down Hibs.  Great odds on him becoming our next manager now. 

 

A natural reaction, surely.

 

Turning down Hibs that is.

It’s interesting that we will both be appointing managers at roughly the same time. Each manager’s record once they take one will be able to be measured almost exactly against the other’s. Adds another dimension - it will heap even more pressure on the first to hit a bad run of form.

Not good enough 

😂😂 who do you want that's better? Bearing in mind this is Scottish that has a standard of football, outwith Rangers and Celtic, that is declining rapidly.

There’s plenty that’s better, or deemed to be.

 

That said, there’s plenty that’s worse.

 

If we’re being reasonable & realistic, we could do a hell of a lot worse than Jack Ross. 

 

I’d find him acceptable but like others, I’d hope the club were going to push the boat out a fair bit. He’s not really that.

Well, if true that he’s turned down Hibs, it must be because he has a better offer. 

 

Not because it was Hibs?

Byyy The Light

Heard he was meeting with them today. Interesting if he’s turned them down already.

 

Kennedy is an interesting one. Well thought of at Celtic and has a job for life. Is that worth risking leaving to take over at Hibs? Depends on his ambitions but must be tempting to stay put, especially with them doing so well in europe.

Fair enough us pushing the boat out but the hard bit is convincing quality manager's to work in Scotland.

Maybe.

 

I personally thought that Jack Ross would seem to be very much someone that the flairmeisters would see as a “Hibs style” manager. He likes all that tippy tappy nonsense.

 

Therefore I thought that the Hibs board would push the boat out somewhat and offer him a good deal, especially when they know they could potentially have competition from across town. 

 

So if true he’s turned it down, it’s either because he really doesn’t want the Hibs job because it’s Hibs. Maybe playing hard to get even and they’ve offered him sweeties.🤷🏼‍♂️

 

Or, he really wants the Hearts job and doesn’t want to be seen playing both sides. 

 

Or, we’re genuinely interested and we’ve started to talk money.

 

Probably wrong, but that’s my thinking.

Jack Ross manager and McPhee as sports director?

You might not be far wrong with this, I take it they were both at club at same time.

Steve Clarke, Steven Gerrard, Brendan Rodgers all came here. 

 

I was was hoping for Daniel Stendel myself. His footballs more “Hearts style” than Jack Ross’ imo.

Genuinely don’t see what is on his CV that should excite us about the prospect of Jack Ross managing our club?

Totally one good season at St Mirren in a pretty weak Championship.

Did he leave on good terms?

It was a bit of a mystery iirc.

Perhaps the cause of his departure us no longer at the club ?

Forgetting Budges ill-advised comment about “very experienced and high profile” manager, I would be happy with Jack Ross. Young, forward thinking, ambitious, relatively experienced, what’s not to like?

I’m not sure about Ross - he did do well at St Mirren but it was ridiculous for Sunderland to appoint him: far too big a club too early.

Am I missing something on Jack Ross? Where’s his pedigree? 


Didn’t get on with Levein, so endeared himself to a few that way.

Boring and baffling football is how Sunderland fans describe him

We’re well used to that brand of football at least.

Honestly think we need a change of direction fresh people with good experience.... dont want to go down the road of always ex people connected to the club 

 

New blood is required for us and hopefully a big name

It's surprising that some folk think hiring an English League One manager who has just been sacked is acceptable for Hearts.

Even more so when it was Sunderland who had the biggest budget in the league that he failed with.

I was genuinely hoping he would get the Hibs job.

Or that failure to turn around that shambles of a club with zero cash could well end his career when he could easily wait it out and get a English championship club

Ross was at Hearts for about 14 months, and left about three years ago. Not much of a connection really.

That’ll be the same Sunderland who had a decent budget in the English Premiership. Relegated.

 

The same Sunderland who probably had the biggest budget in the Championship with parachute payments, etc. Relegated.

 

Ross took them to Wembley a few times and missed out in the play off being beaten by Charlton 2-1 in the final. 

 

Sunderland are a basket case of a club. Not improved since Ross left either.

Don’t get the love in with Ross

 

Won the championship with St Mirren, then moved while stock was high.

 

Had the biggest budget in League one and failed to get promoted. Then started this season poorly. 
 

No top level experience in Scotland, failed at the big job he got.

 

And all of the above doesn’t include the well rumoured reasons he left the club before and what makes it unlikely he would be back
