The Queen of the South Board has offered Gus MacPherson a new contract for next season.
Speaking on Queen's Official Website, Director Mark Roberston quotes
" I know some will question this strategy in our current position but we believe we have the right man to see us through these difficult times. I have stated many times on the sites that this year was going to be one of the most difficult in the clubs history owing to it’s financial difficulties and it is certainly that. Having said that , our financial situation is much improved."
Mr Roberstson continued "We firmly believe that Gus has the experience and skill to keep us in the 1st Division despite the fact that we provided him with a much reduced budget than any of the previous Managers then only 3 weeks to assemble a playing staff. If the worst were to happen we believe with the correct resources he is the man to bring us straight back up. During our discussions, Gus laid out how he would see the future from the playing side. This includes the youth set up and other areas he believes we could strengthen. After all of these discussions we concluded that there was no better man to see us through these difficult times. I would ask for your continued support."
