He may well enjoy playing for Saints but that doesn't mean he has to stay with us forever. If we want players who are ambitious and talented, then we have to also accept that those players will want to play for bigger clubs if/when the opportunity comes along. From what I've seen of Kennedy he's been a terrific player for us and I wouldn't begrudge him a move to Aberdeen if the chance is there. He doesn't owe Saints anything. And as good as he is, we're pretty well covered in his position given that we still have MOH and Swanson, and I reckon Tanser could do a job on the left wing too. andy rhodes fancy watch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out www.companycheck.co.uk, just put in St Johnstone fc. Net worth is very healthy and I don't know how they do it but there's nothing in the figures for the value of the stadium. In browns interest to keeping the cash balance healthy for various reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure many have commented on here before but the main assets are extremely undervalued on the accounts which does put us on an even stronger foothold.

I'm not sure we'll have Swanson for much longer, but I do think we could switch MOH over to the left and have Tanser/Spoony as back-up. If Kennedy does move on, I hope we'd spend the wage on a striker/right-back/centre midfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be allowed on the accounts if they didn't own it? Surely that is why it is an asset? If I recall it used to be valued at less than a few hundred thousand pounds.

Ginger I knew where to get the accounts I always find companies house a good source I was merely trying to make a point asking if Random had actually considered it before stating that they had £x in the bank. The position is as you say healthy,. The freehold land is about £700k which will probably include the written down value of the ground as a football ground and not it's value as a potential housing development. When you look you will see the creditors are £0.8m and debtors £0.2m so actual cash balance is a net £1,6m . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy rhodes fancy watch Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 If I recall correctly they deliberately keep the land value to a minimum, think it's valued at something stupid like £300,000. Which for the size of plot and facilities on it is quite amazing. I'm sure someone will be along to correct that if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna be a desparate scramble for safety, he scores goals and creates, if Swanson was firing on all cylinders then 100k fee would be tempting but based on appearances something not right with the Swanson situation so I would rather he stayed. Much improved spfl money next year, United back up and hearts will do enough to survive so next year's turnover likely to be highest in clubs history so must do all we can to stay up this year.

Companies House is good as well, interesting when you look at geoffs position, he has built a fortune from nothing, would make a good novel.

If Kennedy does move on, I hope we'd spend the wage on a striker/right-back/centre midfield I'd have Spoony over O'Halloran on the left every day of the week. It's his strongest position. Mikey on the other hand has no left foot, has lost a wee bit of his pace and isn't that effective cutting inside. He needs to play wide right or through the middle.
