The St. Mirren FC 2023/24 thread

Surprising, if he wasn't tempted by Ipswich what would Sunderland have to offer him that would make him jump ship apart from money?

Massive club but a bit of a headfuk of a club in the last 10 or so years.

A bit of a shitter for St Mirren as we know a wrong appointment will see the top 6 expectations drop

all seriousness, feel for you all with that bombshell, not a great day for you all

If he gets it right at Sunderland, they will bypass Ipswich for ambition......tho as said its a clusterfuk of a club in recent years

Sunderland surely can't get relegated again.  League One down south is dreadful.  If he gets them promoted, then he'll be treated like royalty, even though there's very little chance of them struggling.  No lose situation, unless the situation is even more dire than it appears.

Think you've answered your own question  - can't see him being on any less than £15-20k a week there.

Their budget will dwarf their competitors in that league next season and barring an absolute catastrophe, it'll be another promotion on an increasingly impressive CV for Ross.

Aye that's what I'm thinking really. More cash and surely, unless he fucks up, they should scoosh the league next season. If he does go I dread to think of the suggested replacements for Saint Mirren from the usual circle of no hopers (Hughes etc.)

I think he's dodged a bullet by not going to Ipswich tbh. They've got a minuscule budget in the Championship and seem to have big expectations. Mick McCarthy was doing a really good job, I think they are going to struggle now tbh.

Don't know if Sunderland have properly cleared the decks but if this Texan guy is competent and giving him an adequate budget (which should really be well in excess of the rest of the league), he's in a really good position to rebuild a big English club from the bottom up and he's certainly astute enough to do the job really well IMO.

Maybe got tired of them waiting to make their minds up. Location maybe helps a bit too as Sunderland is much closer to home.

Closer to home. His wife is a teacher after all.
