We are in the Premiership now and McGinn is not good enough. Name me one other side in the Premiership who would sign McGinn ?
So fed up reading this rubbish about McGinn. Same old junk was trotted out about Goodwin when he was done at SMFC. If he is the solution then we are down.
We need our strikers to turn up. Up till now both Obika and Morais are a mile short and its nowt to do with the midfield.
 

We're missing his leadership qualities if nothing else. 

6-0 Cracking free kick from Armstrong.

Nice try ,but you're getting nowhere near my bedroom.😘

Yet on the rumour mill thread you said May was shite [emoji23]

You sure? Know much about football do you? They won the top flight 6 times and the FA cup twice....

Think so 19 there's a few Sunderland fans work on this place and there thoughts on him are f**king useless. 

As somebody else said to me "that statement fell apart the moment you mentioned having mates". 

Fair enough, I should never have relied on my memory being accurate although January 3rd would have been the mid-season break - so I was right about it being filler.

Had Fergie not beaten Premiership opposition in the cups while we were still in the equivalent of the Championship and narrowly lost another cup game against opposition from a higher league (eg Dundee United cup game)? After winning promotion Fergie stayed on and kept us up.
From memory any time Jack Ross' team met Premiership opposition in the cups we were soundly horsed (Celtic 4 - St Mirren 1;  St Mirren 1 - Dundee 3 (friendly);  Partick Thistle 5 - St Mirren 0;  Aberdeen 4 - St Mirren 1). We conceded an average of 4 goals a game against Premier opposition whenever Jack was St Mirren manager. There were few signs that Jack Ross would have had us competitive in the Premiership had he stayed on..

A honestly believe obika or junior will be back down the road to lower English league team on loan come January to make way for another striker,and wont be seen again after loan spell,

I think Jack Ross has been found out in England like many "successful" managers before him. At the moment he is a decent football manager but not a "great" one.
Be nice not to hear him talking about managing Scotland and his friendship with Brendan etc. Needs to prove himself now at his next club and learn to walk before he runs. 
Did well at St Mirren and Alloa but Sunderland in League One in England is a big step up and he hasn't done it. Guys like Mike McCarthy would have had Sunderland up last season, no doubts about it. So all the talk of inheriting a club in a mess and putting in structure etc is just a diversion from results not being good enough. He had the biggest budget in the league and wasted it. His big buys all flopped and this season its been the same story.
Seemed to have a very good relationship with the chairman so I was a bit suprised they sacked him so early but I think its the right decision. A solid Mick McCarthy type as manager and Sunderland will go up this season.  

Not quite ! Aberdeen approached us for Fergie a year previous , just before they appointed Billy McNeil. Fergie knocked them back , but when things started to go pear shaped a year later , he knew Aberdeen would still be interested after McNeil was appointed at Parkhead.
 
So , Ross turned his back on a shot at the Premiership with us , but Fergie stayed and further proved himself . 

Fergie left a decent team behind him at Love Street, decent scouts and had signed young players to the club who went on to represent Scotland (at a time when we qualified for World Cups!). Fergie moved to Aberdeen and won the cups, league title and European trophies, managed Scotland and oversaw the most successful period in Manchester United's history.
Fergie was with us for just under 4 years - twice as long as Jack Ross and he stayed around to manage us back in the premier division (having knocked back Aberdeen in 1977).
Jack Ross cut short Shankland's loan, sold Jason Naismith, sold Kyle McAllister, sold Stevie Mallan, sold Lewis Morgan and left us with signings like Myles Hippolyte for a tilt at the premiership which he didn't intend to hang around for. Jack Ross also signed close to 40 players in 3 transfer windows and blew all the transfer fees received on dozens of players we didn't need.  We had 2 exciting seasons when he was around for his 20 months or so but to almost get relegated from the Championship when he inherited a team with Mallan, Morgan, Naismith, MacKenzie, Shankland, McAllister, Magennis etc was some achievement!
Who did Jack Ross leave behind at the club who he'd signed or developed (rather than players inherited from previous managers, or former academy players like the McGinns?)
Barely a few months went by without Jack being linked with other clubs... Dundee, Barnsley and Ipswich were all spoken with during his short tenure with us (that we know about).  Jack had no intention of staying around to manage us in the premiership.

If you think it’s bad on here, should see some of the halfwits on Facebook with the Judas patter 🤣 as if they would knock back an opportunity to make a lot more money. Some folk live in fantasy land.
Anyways hope we pump the next team he manages 😜
 

Slate someone for comparing our youths with Chelsea’s....

And then compare our youth’s with Chelsea! [emoji23]

Thought I would pop it in before you get deluged...😁

6 in 22 equates to probably double figures over the course of a season. 

Same as booling i've been told

Alex Rae - right call..?
Based on what ffs? He kept us up the previous season on minimal budget. and drew three, lost three before the sacking. Ffs Ross, Stubbs, OK and Goody would have ripped your arm off to have those stats when they started!
Try dealing in fact, and not hyperbole ya daddy.

If he signs for them, guess who'll score the winner against us in 3 weeks time. 
Would have taken him back. Definitely better on what we have currently. 

As I've said alrreay @div, limit those in the sin bin to commenting on existing sin bin topics, don't allow "them" to create new topics and, further, stop all new member registrations for as long as you see fit.
Appoint some anonymous mods to assess aliases  and give them the power to ban them.
Trolls are ruining this forum and they need to f**k off.

Unfortunately what GLS said was inconsistent
The idea that plan was still to be defined or that the club still lacked the manpower to execute it after MacPherson's appointment to "newly created role/structure" is either naïve or pedantic - what "lessons" do you think GLS was referring to if not to have a signing policy that wouldn't be derailed by a change of management at the club?
MacPherson clearly failed to provide the "constant presence" that Scott mentioned this summer as dealings came to a standstill between Kearney's departure and Goodwin's appointment - a policy which clearly changed upon the latter's arrival. It's not me labelling MacPherson a failure but GLS courtesy of his remarks at the time of MacPherson's appointment. 
I'm willing to put my interpretation of GLSs statement against yours - the DoF role failed this summer there was no masterplan and no amount of deflection, pedantry, or internet tropes from you will change this.
Hopefully we can all agree that the new policy instigated by JG starts to bear fruit soon rather than using it as a stick to beat fellow posters - there's nothing positive about that!
Looking forward to your reply Flipper85!
 

Hate Chelsea but seeing them bring through youth (not by choice) has been a breath of fresh air, plus Abraham and mount are helping me big time on my fantasy football 😂

Been preaching this for a few weeks now, surely a hungry young striker wouldnt do us any harm. What we are offering up at the moment clearly isn’t working.
