Utter bottle merchants.

 

 

GRE....the man that came up with this beauty last weekend about the players that took us from bottom of the league in mid December, to a top 6 finish and our highest ever position in this league and one of the few clubs in the country to take something from Celtic. Mindboggling!

And yet can't see out a game v a rank ordinary side twice in the last ten minutes??? And the only side in this year's Premiership to take nothing from them??

GRE, we are top 6 and you are still moaning? Get things in perspective. Archie, Shaggy and the players done a fantastic job this season.

Couldnt agree more Sandy.Yet because of the stupid split we could have one of our lowest points totals but our best league position in over 30years.

Nothing is ever Jackie's fault.

 

Fair enough stand up for Scottish football and he has a right to defend himself, but, his arguments are full of contradictions, obtuse allegations and angling for personal credit.

 

Celtic got a draw at the Etihad with a goal from Patrick Roberts, on loan from Man City. What wages is Roberts on and which Scot's youngsters are being kept out the team by his presence?

 

Andrew Robertson was released by Celtic age 15 allegedly for being "too wee" and Jackie more or less stole him from Queens Park and punted him on for a huge profit after one season to an EPL club.

 

Jackie signed Christie Elliot as a centre forward and stuck him out on loan to the Wee Rovers after a year and a half. It was Archie who spotted his attributes and coached him into a decent player.

 

He left us because he overrated the "infrastructure" at DU and belittled our club's ability to compete. It's a projection of his own attitude to say English football does the same in their opinion of Scottish players.

 

 

 

Jackie's got talent and proved it with us and to some extent with DU. He could still be a decent manager, but he needs to purge himself of his arrogant, old firm mindset, accept he's not in the "big time" and has no entitlement to it. At celtic everything was laid on a plate for him, at york city he's gonna have to go to the shops, set the table, prepare his own meal and muck in with the washing up ....

 

"Chief Executive" ... in the 6th tier of English football... because his pal owns the club... which he led to relegation... yeah Jackie sounds good, but do york city really need a "chief executive"?

 

I was gutted when he left too. Didn't like the way he did it, but recognised the loss. But, thank f*ck we got rid of the whining, prima donna, snobby TART!!! ... and had the good fortune to have a decent, well grounded, unassuming, grafter, grateful for the opportunity and willing to accept the conditions and face challenge to take us forward.

He seems an incredibly delusional individual that will hopefully just fade into the depths of our memories and become a footnote in our history. Hopefully no other club is desperate or stupid enough to be conned by his version of events and hire him.
