MacDonald just had a baby and maybe wants to move closer to home for him and his partner. Maybe Jimmy Thelin is comfortable with losing him if he finds another deal somewhere. As much as MacDonald has been decent enough recently, he still cost us in the semi final and showed that he is vulnerable, if that was Ruby making those mistakes, he would be hounded out the door. Our GK and defence is what needs the most work, some wingers will be nice as well.

Ross County and St Johnstone will not both get to 39 points. One win will absolutely secure safety.

If it’s O’Neill then he will be costing a decent amount. You then have potential coaching staff, likely candidate is Diarmuid O’Carroll his NI assistant but also St Mirren assistant currently so he would also cost(supposed to be a very good coach), Jimmy Nicholl, Aaron Hughes and dare I say it Steven Davis are his other coaches currently. His previous assistant at Stoke is now Gerrards assistant in Saudi.

Too easy.

Agent Alba dm’d me

Something set to be leaked/reported on by 10 tonight.

I would be shocked if it was Robinson, no way we have waited this long to suddenly go for another St Mirren manager. I get the link with Alan Burrows, but it would have surely been linked by now if he had been spoken to. He is the best option from our current league and for me is a better option than Lennon, but it just doesn't fit what has been reported in the media. For me it must be a foreign appointment and that's why there is little to no leaks.

Anyone wanting Lennon clearly wasn’t at his final game at parkhead against us. Gave the Aberdeen fans a wee shout out in his leaving speech.

Folk in here got much better inside contacts than the media.

It’s Steve Tosh remember he wanted Lennon a few weeks back.

Steve Tosh isn’t exactly a reliable source but if he’s correct that it’s a British manager currently in a job that would unite the fans, then these would be my guesses. Darren Ferguson or Damien Duff

In reality the best Scottish manager who is in our price range etc is Derek McInnes on paper and probably statistically, but we absolutely won’t and shouldn’t go down that route so it will be a foreign appointment imo.

I see Kenny Miller was slaughtering the appointment of Warnock to then go on and say we should be looking at Mark Fotheringham. The same guy who Warnock had to go in and save his team from relegation last season.

Haha so easy to wind folk up in here, drop a name and don’t come back on for 8 hours. Enjoy your day 👍

What about Wayne Rooney?
