south inch Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 I don't know what happened between Tommy and Foster last week but I think the Saints' players will have a pretty good idea. The effort and spirit I saw v Hibs on Saturday suggests they were certainly not demotivated by the incident. Coltrane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember he is a psychology graduate and very clever. A cynical part of me wondered if he'd manipulated the situation to work a way out of the club. It just seemed far too quick for Killie to have been mentioned. Also, he had the season still on his contract, I don't think simply taking a strop in training or telling the manager to **** off is enough to be sacked, so it sounds as if it's a mutual termination of the deal. And would you agree to that if you didn't have another club lined up? Who knows? There might well be nothing in the killie rumours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of them were on a final, written warning were they not? Saints will have no choice other than to fire Foster if the rumours are true, otherwise the disciplinary system as a whole would be severely undermined. He may be being given a chance to leave for another club before the bullet is fired - employers generally prefer it that way. All speculation on my part, of course.

TheYellowBox Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 Foster is a decent player and has contributed well to Saints in the last few years, but if he has over stepped the mark, then club would be better rid of him. A player with his experience, should be setting an example. I think we loose on the pitch by not having him, but maybe, it might be good for the growth of Kerr. I'm sure as captain, Tommy will have involved him somewhere in this, which while personally difficult for Kerr, would help his personal development. Also one less competing voice on the pitch. I see Duffy being a bit like Tanser was. A bit raw and not as competent initially as the player he is replacing, but can definitely grow into a fine full back.

Foster a better defender than Duffy but with him playing for Celtic reserves he probably didn't have to do much defending. Hopefully he is the answer as I would be surprised if we bring in more than a striker. We are short of back up full backs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is painfully slow which is my only concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you might be surprised just how fast he is, compared to Foster and if it is just pace this is his problem the fitness coach will be able to work on that.

Johnny B Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 BBC Richard Foster is unlikely to play for St Johnstone again after a training ground incident between the full-back and manager Tommy Wright. The 34-year-old has not trained with the first team since the disagreement happened on 17 August. Foster has played five times so far this season, and joined the Perth club in August 2016. During his three-year spell, the former Aberdeen and Rangers player has made 112 appearances. St Johnstone currently sit on two points in the Scottish Premiership after three games having been knocked out of the League Cup. BBC Scotland has approached St Johnstone for comment.

Jimmy Wallace Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 I have it on good authority that Stevie May is to take up a new player/chief executive role and will announce himself as a new signing. This is thought to be a first for Scottish football but is a well proven practice in other sports such as ice hockey, polo and powerboat racing. Saints have been keen to keep this under wraps for fear of other clubs copying this new model and it seems the shenanigans of the past few weeks have in fact been a well planned and executed smokescreen. If this turns out to be accurate, Saints may have played a blinder.
