St Mirren: No Contact From Sunderland Regarding Ross - Ipswich Town News

St Mirren manager Jack Ross’s move to Sunderland has been called into question by Buddies’ chairman Gordon Scott, who says his club have received no contact from the Black Cats regarding the 41-year-old, who is also one of two bosses being eyed by Town along with Shrewsbury's Paul Hurst.

Widespread reports earlier this lunchtime indicated that Ross is the man who has agreed terms with Sunderland’s new owners, although the Wearsiders are still to announce the identity of their new boss.

"There has been no contact from Sunderland with us and Jack is on holiday. So unless there is some major skulduggery going on then it's nonsense,” Scott insisted.

"To hold talks with Jack, we would have to grant permission, as has been the case with Ipswich and Barnsley recently. But we've had no contact from Sunderland at all."

Earlier new Sunderland chairman Stewart Donald had told talkSPORT that developments regarding their management situation are close: "I am expecting there to be news on that very soon.

"We've agreed terms and literally the contracts are with the lawyers. The man in question is absolutely thrilled, which is what we want, and I'm absolutely delighted that he's coming, so that's exciting for us. I'm hoping that by the end of the day, we can reveal that."
