St.Johnstone fan here on Del McInnes .. There has been some talk here about Del getting the job. Our chairman, Geoff Brown ( longest serving chairman in scottish football with 25 years service at Saints) has been quoted as saying he will not stand in Dels way should there be an approach as long as adequate compo can be agreed. He is a pretty straight up chairman and indeed was exactly the same when Burnley came in for Owen Coyle. I would hate to lose McInnes as he is doing an outstanding job at Saints but these things happen and should you end up with him in charge I am sure he will do a great job.
This season Saints sit joint fourth in the SPL, which for a team with average attendances of just over 3200 and a tiny budget is remarkable. We have already beaten Celtic (1-0) away, Motherwell (3-0) away, Hearts (2-0) at home and indeed went through our first 4 away games without even conceeding a goal.
Whether Del would take the job ( if offered) is another story. He seems to have been linked with every job that has come up in the last 12 months including West Brom and more recently Brentford but he is still here and with no disrepect, I don't know how attractive the Bristol City job would be to him. In my ignorance , I know very little about your club apart from you play at Ashton Gate and that David James went there. What are the clubs finances like?
I see you are at the foot of the Championship at the moment but the last few years the club seems to have been steady in mid table ( Statto.com) What's gone wrong this term??
