According to the last few pages of this thread May is DEFINITELY signing for St Johnstone, Dundee and Dundee United... Some wages he’ll be on

According to Mays dad he never even left in the first place.

The guy works with me I must of kind of looked shocked but I think it’s his father who works there but hey Jimmy I don’t know but it does look like all the speculation has been driven by the media but I was surprised when he said saints were paying a fee but the hold up was an Aberdeen thing

This is probably the most important season ever financially, as from next season the Television money increases from £18 million to £30 million. Which is an increase of 2/3 so for example if Saints prize money was £1.4 million last season for seventh place this would increase to £2,3 million in season 20/21. If it is divided at the same ratio as It is now. I am sure St. Johnstone are aware of this and why Dundee United and Dundee are gambling with signings as they are desperate to have a slice of the cake. So do you make the signings now or wait and see how it goes until the January transfer window. This is not the season to be relegated as the differential will be huge and the parachute payments to the clubs going down at the end of 20/21 season to the Championship will make it difficult for the rest of the clubs to compete with them financially. The bottom line is it is all about money and if like Saints you don’t have a big support then prize money is everything.

Don't shoot the messenger comrade.

No easy cheap dugouts in Europe these days.

Breaking news: in an historic first, Abernethy Saint gets something about football correct.

Or taking a train ride to the top of a Swiss mountain to find that of the 300 or so people at the top you knew about half of them. Then taking the ski gondola back down and while walking to the bus stop into Lucerne being given a lift by fellow Saintees who spotted you on the road. Surreal.
