Wood be a good move especially if they get promotion. Even 2nd tier in Germany is better than SPL.
Sorry for typo. I obviously meant ‘would’
It wouldn't, and no it's not.
St Pauli are fourth in the 2nd Bundesliga at the moment - https://www.bundesliga.com/de/2bundesliga/tabelle
A point behind Darmstad in third, with five games to go. Whoever finishes third goes into a play off with the third-last team in the Bundesliga, currently VFB Stuttgart
Thought they had played in the Bundesliga recently, but it was actually 2010-11 season!
And before that was 2001-02. Would be foolish to go there if he wants to break into the senior squad next season.
You think SPL is better than the 2 Bundesliga?
Take out Celtic and Rangers - and you don't play against them most weeks - and the SPL is a weak enough league. I'd be happy if Ronan got a move to Germany - just so long as he didn't then vanish like Jamie McGrath has done in the English third tier.
Edit - in fact, we had a look at this analysis before in the context of LoI v League 1, but it has a comparison across various European leagues and it has the 2. Bundesliga 12th and the SPL 25th of the leagues sampled. It uses European results to make comparisons across leagues, and then obviously domestic results after that.

And some further evidence for the Bundesliga 2 being generally a higher standard than SPL (minus Old Firm)

The German second tier is streets ahead of most of the SPL.
Realistically a move from the SPL to Bundesliga 2 is a sideways move. No player of serious quality would make that move, and it betrays a lack of ambition, or a lack of ability. I hope it works out for Ronan but if this goes ahead I won’t be very impressed.
I think he could play at a higher level and no doubt he aspires to. The article talked about his ambition to get into the Wolves team. But we have players in the Championship and League 1 playing for us. We’re getting g excited because some of our League 1 players might get promoted. St Pauli getting into the Bundesliga 1 is a better promotion than MK Dons or Rotherham making it into the Championship.
bundes 2 is miles better overall than spl. take out your 8 drubbings v celtic/rangers and the league is pretty poor.
I'd agree with that. Our best midfield player is playing for Anderlecht and that's fine. We need players playing and developing at whatever level they can do that at.
It would and it is.
Wow. I know football is all about opinions, but the suggestion that moving from St. Mirren to a well-supported 2. Bundesliga/Bundesliga club like St. Pauli would be at best a 'sideways move' is, by any conceivable metric, just objectively wrong.
I'm astounded that anyone could possibly think otherwise.
19/20 season saw St Mirren with 5.5k average attendance. St Pauli had 22k.
The Daily Record are stating Pauli getting promoted would mean he has a good chance of going there. If Hearts get into Europe then they have a chance of signing him too. I think I'd prefer Pauli in all outcomes here.
According to the Mail's Mike Keegan, "Huddersfield, Cardiff and Coventry have joined Aberdeen and Hibs in the chase for Wolves’ midfielder Connor Ronan".
A decent Championship side would surely be preferable. He's turning 25 in March and his last SPL loan move didn't exactly grease the wheels on his career and international prospects significantly.
Cardiff would be a decent move.
Hodge gets a game tonight in what looks like a very strong Wolves side.
