I wasn't commenting on the appointment - I think it sounds like a great fit. I was commenting on the comment.

3 up front seems consistent, that is a big change for us.

Do we have any idea what formation we're going to be playing under the new gaffer? He apparently played 433 in Sweden and a 343 in Denmark so doesn't seem to have a set formation.

As I read it, the comment was made on the references to the "Liverpool boot room model" not the appointment of Rogers.

Assume from the comments on the official site that the manager had a hand in who was appointed. If he's happy to have him and Max is happy to be here. Good

That's the moderators an all Usual given days to slate new appointments , on here, now it's hours. 😫

Definitely been an interview process so no idea how many applied but he certainly has a good pedigree. Hopefully our version of the Mitchell brothers can bring us success this season ahead

The more dumplings they sign the better.

Good too see st mirren keeping up there quota of signing ex well players,this time it's liam donnolly.

At least Sparrow recently extended to 2027, so if does decide to make the move we can set our price. Would prefer to see him stay, though. I'm also happy to see that it looks more and more likely Miller will move abroad. His Dad is certainly talking that up.

I realise there is an element of sarcasm involved here, but surely its only the cheap option if you have no plan and you take the option thats right in front of you? If you have gone to the bother of succession planning the right candidate (IF thats what has happened) then I would commend it.

Or "lo barato sale caro" as my Spanish speaking colleague likes to remind us from time to time. (Cheap turns out expensive)

Known in Lanarkshire circles as "the cheap option."

He’s got a decent CV: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/max-rogers-34442042

Hopefully, although he did also spend 3 years working for Aberdeen and St Mirren, and his last job was being assistant to someone who played for Celtic for 7 years.

Brian Caldwell will know him from their time together at Shrewsbury.

Seems like a solid appointment and looks like we have followed a similar process to the managerial one to get the right candidate in. I wonder if there is a bit of succession planning there and we might be going down the old Liverpool "bootroom" route? Style, identity, promote from within.... Would certainly make things simpler as and when Jens moves on......

Nearly fell off ma chair when ah saw the photo. Thought Malpas was back! 😆😆😆

Would prefer not to see him go right now when its clear Miller will be away. But I guess we cant be too sniffy about any reasonable offer that comes in for any of our players. Quite pleased that we have a few right now that could command a fee with Slattery and Maswanhise being the other 2 obvious ones. Not the Miller millions, but as a club this is our business model and we need to roll with it. The timing would make things a little trickier for the new manager though as he tries to assemble his squad for the new season.

Someone out of the box and not indoctrinated in the SPL way of thinking. What's not to like. We're certainly blazing a trail and hopefully it all comes good.

A bit unusual these days new managers usually bring in their own team of assistants etc, but his CV looks decent so welcome to the club.

This should probably be in the Ins and Outs thread but I wouldn't dismiss it. 22 years old, runs all day, 6 goals in 21 starts most of them at wing back. Someone may show an interest...

There’s a rumour on Twitter that Wimbledon are interested in Sparrow. Feels unlikely.

Looks like Dean Cornelius is heading to Ross County, with his contract at Harrogate Town not being extended.
