Seems JBA away, really really disappointing. https://x.com/i/status/2057153444691976448

The club are currently only negotiating with Toulouse to allow them to speak to Jens. Always the chance he hears something that sets off alarm bells and decides its not for him. However, if and when he does leave, I 100% expect our next manager to be from outside Scotland. As others have said, lots of countries have numerous teams / managers / coaches that play the way we do now. Id also proffer that Jans would have some input into who might be a suitable replacement.

Was he always with JBA. I thought he was drafted in to be Assistant to him.

Im all for this. Its what they do at Parkhead for European games.... We built that stand to milk Celtic & Rangers for revenue. It would be crazy to throw the baby out with the bath water. However, we do need to do something, so the above seems a reasonable and manageable compromise. Would also allow the stewards to focus in the gates without worrying about anyone coming over the wall.

Keep them in the top tier only. And if anyone asks tell them exactly why. You can't invaded the park from up there. Someone needs to make a stand. It certainly won't be Scottish football authorities .

I hope we ask John McGlynn if he fancies it. Falkirk play some good football and I assume we'll be in a better place financially than them while having one of the best academies in the country. Outside him nobody in Scotland really interests me. Hibs fans seem to be desperate to get rid of David Gray I wouldn't mind him rocking up here if he gets mutualled and Simo is an option in but I expect we would look abroad again.

I think he suffered from being good at something but unable to make others good at the same thing syndrome, Dunfermline away has to be one of the lowest points of the last thirty years anyway

When we play celtic the lower tier always appears to be overcrowded and folk running from stand to stands a risk too. If anything where to go wrong say a crushing incident or something its our clubs reputation thats at stake and as a club have the responsibility for any compensation if such an issue was to arrise. Id argue its silly not to impliment something

I was thinking more along the lines of letting him choose any player to sell and keeping 100% of the profit for himself. If he does leave, I hope it's Toulouse, as it would be nice trip to go and watch his new team play.

1. Punt Rangers to League 2 in the EFL 2. Punt Celtic to the lowest division in the League of Ireland 3. Profit!

And if Max goes with Jens?

Just give them the minimum allowed, with them being seated in a newly created seating area with limited views outside the stadium and all at a premium price.

Take out the bottom ten rows or something, cover them in they advertising banners you see elsewhere

I would think that the board will do everything they can to keep him here. If that doesn't work out then they will get as much as they can for loosing him. Can't say fairer than that.

That's who I think will get it. His philosophy is very much the same as Askou. I remember him saying he had St Mirren youth team playing the way we do but the first team wouldn't adopt it.

I'd like him to hang around for another year, but accept that he'll go eventually, and most likely while his stock is so high. If he does go, he'll go with my best wishes. What may keep him here is the apparent rapport that he has with the club, players and fanbase. Couple that with the control and freedom that he seems to have at Fir Park, and the club's ambition; it may be enough, but I doubt it, money talks, and it'll be a big pay day for him. He may well think that maintaining forward momentum through the second season is likely to be more difficult. - We'll lose some core players, recruitment will need to be very good to replace and improve on what we enjoyed this season. - Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen and Hibs will probably improve next season. Can he make next season better than this? I hope that, if he does go then wherever he ends up, it isn't in Scotland and he is given the time and resources to implement his philosophy. We and he were very lucky that it all seemed to click so quickly at Fir Park. As for Max, I have no idea if he can step up. The board will decide if such becomes necessary and I have faith in them.

Thats what id assume anyway

What realisticalky do you think we pay? Im thinking 150k ? But could be well short.

Come to think of it, theres a likeness in looks with MM and MR too

Selll JT for 4 Million amd give JBA 1 million

What would he get and where could he go after another season here? Although I suppose same question applies to him being at Toulouse.

I’d be really gutted if JBA does leave us but if he does go, I’d prefer it if he went to Toulouse rather than the pit belts. Rumours that the salary on offer at Toulouse is £1 million per year. If that’s true then he’d be foolish not to want to go there. It’s a sad fact of life for small clubs like ours that success has its down side too.

To be fair we knew when he joined that he didn’t have a good record of staying long at any of his previous clubs so it’s not a huge surprise but having watched his recent interviews post match and his chat to the players I did think that he might want to prove himself in Europe before moving on from us.

Now I know why Pep has left Man City.......

My daughter was a mascot in an end of season game with Butcher in charge. He was nowhere near the dressing room in the 10-15 mins leading up to kick off. He was at the dugout gabbing to the mascots parents and the photographers.
