Templar Saint Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 1 hour ago, The ghost of Jim Morton said: No but I would like a chairman who backs our manager a bit more and is not tighter than tight can be ALL the time.. And before you start , I am not talking spending money we do not have, just spending some of the money we DO have.. Probably need the money to cover any losses made due to the poor attendances we get. Before you suggest it I do not think splashing the cash on a marquee signing would create larger crowds. Whilst there have been journalistic reports that TW does not always get backed by SB, we are not privy to their meetings and discussions so therefore do not know the facts. The manager has obviously been given a budget and how that is utilised and on what players will be his call, so do not think the chairman can always be the fall guy.

mainstand Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 I love it how every close season we go through this same panic. The club are probably speak to and make offers to 2 or 3 players for every one that they sign When you are in the transfer market up against teams that are making combined losses of 7 million and are far from spending within their means then you are going to struggle. It would be great did splash the cash but can't see it happening. Has templeton signed for hearts yet @randomguy? Just wondering if still an option.

Cagey Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Lawless being linked with Dunfermline. Looks like we can't compete with Forrest Green or Dunfermline. It may be that we have shown no interest in them but if not why not ?. I can't think of who we ARE going to go for but those 2 were top of my list. There is no one else I can think of that we could sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a pretty huge leap of logic to go from "player is being linked with Dunfermline" to "looks like we can't compete with Dunfermline".

Abernethy Saint Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I presume Brown is in Lisbon. Half the Sporting Lisbon team have walked out after they got the crap beaten out of them by disgruntled fans. It will be a DISGRACE if Saints don’t sign AT LEAST all of them.

Yeah,sheer frustration at lack of communication with fans. Not expecting targets to be named but some confirmation someone is interested. I know we don't have Europe to take our attention but surely they can give us some drivel to discuss,like friendlies etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 For all people can moan about the lack of transfer news or indeed news at all. The likes of Kilmarnock haven’t done anything either, even Hibs who start back in Europe way before we’re back haven’t signed anyone or indeed even been linked with anyone. For once the management and staff at saints actually get an extended break this season and as far as I’m concerned they’ve earned it. Just cause they’re away doesn’t mean we won’t be active in the market, it just means that everyone else is also on holiday. Folk need to relax and realise saints aren’t going to tell people everything, especially with skeleton staff right now and anyway the World Cup starts today, that’ll keep everyone amused.

Not that the club has even mentioned it yet, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lang Toon Saintee Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I obviously have no proof. But an educated guess would be that the reason that we did not offer him a contract was that after speaking to his agent we found out that the money he was wanting was way out of our budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be a bit disappointed if we didn't at least give someone we were genuinely interested in some sort of offer even if it was in the style of 'if you don't get what you want elsewhere there's always this', no matter how unlikely it may seem. I'm a great believer in if you don't ask! Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does say on his interview that I saw that he ahd other offers form Clubs but decided Forest Green was the ideal choice after meeting the manager and chairman.

Radford 72 Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 The last comments I saw from the manager on Williams were quite non-commital, he said the player was keen to come back but that we'd have to "wait and see" what happened. He sounded more eager to get Willock back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams to me is one of those guys who seem to have all the ability in the world but absolutely no composure near the goal. We have enough of them already.

ss75990 Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Seen a few reports that Dundee United are potentially going to try and sign Adam Rooney. If he was available I would love saints to pursue him. He is a classic poacher who gets you goals. Its a type of player we have been lacking. Macca would always go looking for the ball and half the time was either out on the wing or well in his own half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
