Debut 4 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Speaking to Scott Walker(ex pro with Dunf, St Mirren)today who knows Ross well. Says he’s waiting on offers down South.

Beast Boy Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Genuine question here, as I haven't followed the man's career closely enough. Has Ross' achievements this side of the border been particularly better than guys like Hartley or Ian Murray who were hailed as the next big thing a few years ago, before failing? I don't think his record at Sunderland is anything to write home about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think his record at Sunderland is anything to write home about. He took over St Mirren when there was a real risk they were going to fall into League 1. He saved them and won the Championship the next season. He wasn’t going to turn down down Sunderland but word round the campfire was that he could have done well with St Mirren had he stayed.

Problem is that they drew all the time and played terrible football, along with the fact that they had the biggest budget in the league, so really should be taking them up. We can and I hope will do better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe, out of all the names mentioned, Ross would be the best we could get. Maybe not for everyone but hey ho ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levein takes that honour ! Results are the most important thing, absolutely no arguments there, but we had people moaning when we were in second and third under Robbie because tehy didn't like the style of play. How long do you reckon they would have suffered Clarke's dire style? Give me a manager who likes to play through the middle of the pitch with forwards running at defenders and wide men cutting in any day of the week. You need a solid defence and a strong anchorman to do it, but it's entertaining to watch and with the right key personnel and manager guiding them, it gets results in our league. Would I want that before results? No. Edited November 14, 2019 by Icon of Symmetry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside, Scott’s son is a big Hearts fanand is the drum banger in section G , apparently😂......Scott’s not a born and bred JT but actually attends Hearts games with his mate. Says he enjoys going to the games and thinks the new stand is cracking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
