He's in no way responsible for the abuse of Ross McArthur or the vandalism of his property. That's solely on the shoulders of the perpetrators. My understanding is that Grant is an enthusiastic guy who loves football. I've no doubt he has plenty of dignity but also plenty of self-belief. I think he believes he can turn this around and doesn't want to walk from a job having not won a league game. It’s not self-belief he has, it’s outright arrogance.

I'm still angry about those gobbing ****ers that abused RM. Hoping they over 18, so they can be named and never to be inside EEP again.

Setting aside the totally unsatisfactory results and performances in the league, how many of us in his shoes would turn our back on a compensation package because we are highly principled? He then goes home and tries to explain it to his wife and kids. Maybe he could afford it, maybe not. Jose Mourinho must be a multimillionaire by now. I don't think he's resigned from any club he's managed. Just saying. I think when he walked away from Norwich he missed out on a 1 million pound payout and will still be regretting it. Grant's definitely not quitting,not just because of his payout but he also believes he can turn this around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA-go Par Adonis Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 I've not seen anything to suggest that Grant is particularly arrogant either. He wouldn't have been my choice of manager, and obviously that's not changed, but I've no problem with his character or personality. I just don't think he will get us out of this mess and turn us into contenders. He's the Pars manager though, so I hope I am completely wrong. That's why I'll never get my head round the "I'm not going back until he's sacked" brigade. It was the same with Crawford. Fair enough to criticise but to declare you're not going back on some point of principle is ridiculous. What happens if we do start playing well? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys serious? every single interview he gives his arrogance shines though, the guy thinks he's far better than what he is. Right from him declaring his CV would blow everyone else away. He's a jumped up f***y and needs to be kicked out the club ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA-go Par Adonis Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 I'll grant you that the whole CV statement smacked of over-confidence and does so now. Aside from that, I don't think he's particularly arrogant. He's definitely put an overly positive spin on some of the performances post-match, but he's not the first manager to do that. I really think some folk get, rightly, p***ed off about the results and performances and use that as license to say what they want about someone's character - and it's largely without any evidence. He's currently a bad football manager. On this thread alone, he's now been a knob and a f***y - and this is by far the better Pars site for having a reasoned debate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 I honestly cannae say I dislike the guy, I've never met him. Only arrogant manager I can think of is Jose Mourinho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not doing too well and needs to move on rapid. I believe he will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 I’m not calling him a f***y cos we’re just playing badly, I’m calling him that cos it’s how he comes across. We’ve had people I don’t like be successful with us, people I like be successful , People I like be unsuccessful and people like grant who are neither a good at their job or have a decent personality.

Just say you dislike him. It's easier 😂 Personally speaking I think he's been niave in a few of his responses post match. Blaming players etc rather than being a bit more diplomatic. Players won't respond well to that. He should keep that in-house imo For me he's out his depth and he looks a bedraggled figure coming off the pitch last couple of matches. I genuinely think he's going in the next few matches, and he needs to as it's been a poor appointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I don't want anyone to loose their main income I think P.G. has been winging it and is out his depth. Looking more and more like he has no man management skills either 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosythpar Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 I remember a couple of years ago, we were playing QOS and it was torrential rain,the police told us not to travel. Our bus still went down and we were the only 15 away fans at the game. On the Monday Ross got in contact with us and offered to pay the £150 to us for travelling down,we took the cheque of him and we gave it back to him to put towards the youth team. I will never forget that. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Soze Posted November 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 So he’s off at the end of the season to be replaced with a CEO. Will be announced tomorrow. I’m sure everyone will agree that we were incredibly lucky to have a man of that calibre at the helm. Will be a difficult man to replace that’s for sure. 2 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever happens from here on in at this club Ross McArthur has left a real legacy, which is saving this club. Make no mistake he was the catalyst, orchestrator, organiser, driver, inspiration and the cement that made sure we never tipped over the abyss. Glad he's staying on. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
