Or would we be happy being Hamilton, toddling along finishing 10th/11th, because we've been in the second tier before so should automatically be happy with anything above that? would be happy with that. we are st johnstone not hamilton, so we'd have our own version of toddling along honestly, the things people think saints can do....we are a SMALL club!!!

Aye but we could be bigger if people wanted it to be ,this “small club” mentality is really starting to get on my tits , get some of the so called money we have spent on some new faces before we’re all doddling along to our “small club” in the 1st division where a lot of people on here seem to believe that’s where we belong .

In the "all time top flight table", we sit 15th if you exclude dead clubs, 14th, if you want to remove Rangers. We'll overtake 15th placed Morton this season regardless. We're absolutely miles ahead of clubs like Dunfermline in terms of games played/points in the top flight, yet I'd be absolutely certain folk reckon they're somehow a bigger club.

rik2304 Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Overall he does an excellent job. But the budget fixation is certainly not very exciting. However we've seen just how badly football finance can go wrong in the last few years so perhaps he has a point! I do agree that the PR side of things is an area that MUST be improved upon. It's currently woeful in comparison to other teams round about us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going even further back I can remember when Saints' PR consisted of a billboard (borrowed from an Evening Telegraph seller) outside St Pauls saying "Match Off". If they were really making an effort it would say "Match Off - Snow". HOODLUM65, Cleveland-Saint, Tranmere Saintee and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garydavidson Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Is one of our main issues that we never replaced the likes of Stuart Duff? We seemed to churn through a number of general managers but I haven't heard of anyone in that role recently? Most other clubs seem to have a Chief Executive or someone that is actually there full time. Would that form of structure help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two reasons it won’t happen: they’d have to pay them big bucks, and the Broons are control freaks (which seem to work well for them).

Stan who has recently retired from his full-time job has now stepped up his role a bit more at McDiarmid.
