Don't get me wrong, I can't stand the bloke, and I remember the Bolton playoff, but he is a good manager (imho). But I agree he's not right for Ipswich (not that I think he'd take the job even if offered it).
I doubt it will show Newcastle in a bad light adly, as they are probably one of the biggest target markets for the film (although I can't for the life of me see why they revere him so much as he never played for them and his management of them was probably the lowest point of his career, and as you say, he was sacked).
That's what I mean Vic, the two don't seem to tally up. But as I say I have not seen any of St Mirren's football (apart from the clip I posted) so could just be a one off, but it did seem very direct, even long ball from what I saw.
Anyway - that's enough - I really want him to be great if he comes here. We need it!
What am I trying to achieve? Nothing other than to show an example of the football under Jack Ross. I have seen the videos of him talking on Youtube and was very impressed with the way he spoke about the game. Then I saw extended highlights of a game (admittedly one game) and was not that impressed.
It shows how people can get wrapped up in wanting something without actually knowing what excatly it is that they are going to get. Nothing more, nothing less.
Again I agree. But I wonder if what the supporters of St Mirren perceive as fluid Football is in comparison to what the rest of the teams in their division. They might think John Beck was like Guardiola. (That’s not meant literally - just to point out).
Apologies. I used the term 'total football' as an extreme example to make a point - it wasn't meant to be taken literally. But the general consensus is that we would not accept a direct style of play (e.g. the Cowleys). However it appears that Jack Ross's St Mirren, on the little evidence I have seen, play fairly direct football.
Agreed but just wondered what his team played like. I know ME specifically mentioned having a 'philosophy' and playing out from the back. I didn't see much playing out from the back in the clip. Just saying - I think others could still be in with a shout. Stam for example.
