portobellojambo1 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Was interesting listening to his comments relating to around the time when we went to Hungary to play Paksi. I don't recall reading or hearing anything at the time about him being released. I don't know why or how but I do remember the whole squad seemed a bit downcast in the airport when we were awaiting the flight back from Budapest. Was good to hear that he is feeling a lot better now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Wouldn't be against JJ taking up some sort of role within the club. TBH he should have been offered it when Levein came on board. Having another voice on the board could have helped us avoid the mess we're currently in. I think for DOF/ Sporting director, we should really be looking for someone who can modernise the footballing department. Someone of the Mark Wotte mould. JJ as some sort of non-executive director to help advise the board on footballing matters could be good. He's only 69 and looks to be in better health now. An advisory position is also not full time or anything so plenty time for family etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy2 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Not sure Jim would want our DoF role even if it was offered. Doesn’t travel to distant away games with Edinburgh City these days as he quite rightly prioritises his grandchildren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn’t just a hero of mine but an absolute gentleman into the bargain 98 was the best feeling for me, as I am sure it was for a lot of other folk, being a supporter, and probably will never ever be repeated again honestly, even a league win wouldn’t beat that day.

A player like him, Fulton and Hartley we would have to be extremely lucky to find or extremely rich to buy these days. They just don't come along that often. A player who will say to a defender "right give me the ball" and drive forward, making things happen. I listened to Hartley's Open Goal interview yesterday and we have to give Levein credit for turning him into the player he became for us. That seems our only hope of finding a player as good as those three these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
