sandy Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 York have just suffered a second successive relegation. Jackie moved upstairs at the end of last season. But his influence failed to save them. How the mighty have fallen... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandy Posted April 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 GRE, who said anything about an 'Obsession' other than you? I'm reporting a result from today that involves a manager with Thistle connections. Presumably that's allowed on a Thistle forum... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are the one who posted a drippingly sarcastic comment about an ex Thistle manager. You are so obviously so upset about his departure over four years ago that you are clearly obsessed about him.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 It appears some folk are obsessed with other folk's obsessions. Whatever, we certainly dodged a bullet when McNamara jumped ship. Don't believe I can be accused of being wildly speculative when I suggest he managed to retain a position at York due to him having a most favourable contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyo Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Looking back now, it's quite amazing how positive his departure turned out to be. I remember being absolutely gutted and really feared that our chance had gone, especially given the run that Morton were on at the time. And I was dead against giving it to Archie, believing that we needed experience and that his appointment was based predominantly on sentiment. It reminded me of Alan Shearer at Newcastle. How wrong I was. Immediate eight game winning run to secure promotion, year on year improvement to secure our longest run and highest placing in the premier league for nearly 40 years, we now have the strongest and most contractually secure squad that I can remember. And it's not an old squad either; they can keep improving for some time. Jackie Mac meantime; well it's not gone so brilliantly for him. He set us up nicely but he left without grace and I don't see a lot wrong with having a smug wee chuckle at our contrasting fortunes since he left. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norgethistle Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) I cannot believe with JM's record down there he (A) managed to move upstairs (B )hasn't been fired. (C ) Hasn't walked based on personal pride His contract must be so water tight they can't get rid of him even if he does relegate them twice to the overall detriment of the club.

Lambies Lost Doo Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Without McNamara we would not be in this position. Agree with allyo but lets not underestimate Jackie Mac influence on us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpool Jags Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) I am grateful to the wee rat for one thing only: that by fecking off so ungraciously, he allowed a job to be done that he wasn't up to doing himself; a job that was of critical importance to the PTFC. I have no doubt that had he stayed, Morton would've been promoted instead of us, and he would be grudgingly staying in the job waiting for the next £6 a week better offer to emerge. We could've easily slipped away into insignificance after that due to a host of factors that we now know to be the case - too many to go into here. His record since he left has been nothing short of a vortex; and as far as I can make out, he's only been retained at York due to them not being able to pay him off when they wanted him out last season: the board position being a very uneasy compromise. And yet a very small minority on here leap to his defence - in the guise of dissing some excellent posters who dare comment on his iniquities from time to time - for some bizarre, or pathological reasons better known to themselves revealing an incomprehensible obsession of their own. Totally bonkers, in my opinion. Sandy, you're 100% correct in everything you say about Jackie the rodent. Ignore the mindless dross that comes back at you mate.

ian_mac Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 GRE once again excels himself on this thread. When he's not starting arguments on here he tends to look for the nearest empty room - as these are the only places he can prove himself correct. Feel mighty sorry for the York fans, football clubs get wound up because of mercenary money grabbing selfish ar*eholes all the time and Jackie has certainly proved to be one of them. If he had any respect or even an iota of class he would have walked away from that club long before now. The fact that he is digging his heels in for every last penny while the club continues to suffer makes him a scumbag of the highest order. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
