In talks with Ipswich:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44068095
St Mirren fans will be gutted if he goes. I’d like him to have stayed and given them a season in the top league.
Wouldn’t have minded him at Hibs if Lennon is considering leaving following his comments last night
A really good manager but he took a while to get going at St. Mirren and I'm not sure he'd get as much time down south like Stubbs at Rotherham.
St Mirren will go back down anyway.
Going to Sunderland now, apparently - very brave move, if true:

Would be some move for him, no pressure then!
Basket case of a club, but what a club and with new ownership who knows what's possible.
Sunderland? What's he thinking? They should easily win league 1 though to be fair.
I'm sure he'll easily get another job back up here if it doesn't work.
Good move for both sides imo. They get their recruitment right then it's a good level for Ross to start at. A big club, not overly too far from any family or support network up here.
Stewart has done well with Eastleigh b
Think you've maybe answered your own question with the second half of your post. I don't like Sunderland but he maybe sees it as a chance to steer one of England's bigger clubs back on an upward curve and doing himself no harm at the same time. 2 leagues in 2 seasons with 2 different clubs would be a decent achievement too.
Still though f*** the Mackems :greengrin
Very interesting. Wouldn't be surprised if he goes for Mcginn and Dylan...
New owners, lower standard of opposition in League 1.
If you are going to turn Sunderland around, it’s a good time to do it.
Also, Ross knows the Scottish game well, and there are lots of players here who could do well in League 1 and be affordable for Sunderland.
I feel for St Mirren fans though - a real kick in the teeth after promotion!
I actually thought the Sunderland job was ideal for Neil Lennon so I'd be delighted to see Jack Ross get it.
It's potentially a great job but it all depends on what the new owners are like. The club has been riddled with problems for years and they won't be wiped out overnight. They need to do what we did when we were relegated - a total clear out and start from scratch but they are still going to have some terrible players on big money stinking the place out for a while yet.
I would be very worried if I were a St Mirren fan right now.
I don't think they need to be worried exactly.
They had reason to be very worried when they were in the position they were in when Ross took over.
They'd have settled for being managerless but back in the Premier League in summer 2018 when they were bottom of the Championship 18 months ago.
I wish Ross all the best but as previously mentioned most managers could probably win the league with Sunderland.
Jim Goodwin will get that gig, done very well with Alloa
There is a few vacancies in the English leagues that I think would probably be a decent fit for Lennon, I do worry a bit about Ipswich, Derby or Barnsley coming knocking but he did say he’d 100% be our manager at the start of next season so hopefully if they do come in he tells them to bolt.
