Afraid you are being naive. 

That is just not how football operates, rarely if ever can I think of a manager who chooses to stay at a smaller club when the big guys come calling. If we continue as we are until seasons end I fully expect to start next season with a different manager. 

So let's enjoy it while we can and leave the worrying about JBAs departure until it happens.

 

Correct, if we continue playing as we are and finish in the top half of the table or do well in the Scottish Cup then it is inevitable that bigger clubs will come calling for JBA. And he would go if/when that happens because that’s just the way it is. We’ve seen it before and we’ll see it again.

However there is no point worrying about it. As I said yesterday about Tam Cowan’s dampener pish on Radio Scotland after the game just let’s enjoy having a team that plays good football and a manager who seems intelligent, has a clear plan and focus on how he wants us to play. Make the most of it instead of fretting about when it’s all going to end because doing that only spoils it for yourself and the rest of the support.

I can’t stand constant negativity neither I can.

I think if we qualify for Europe next season, that might be something that keeps JBA with us.  I also think this is now the way we are going to play.  Wimmer wanted to start it but couldn't with the shite we had.  I can't see the board reverting to type and brining in another Kettlewell, they have seen how well this system works so will be looking for another JBA.

Lets be honest, you are an up and coming manager, you want to eventually manage a bigger club, you see how well JBA has done here and how it has raised his stock, who wouldn't want to come?
