When exactly does this start to become gross mismanagement / negligence from the board? Too late it's already beyond that!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny B Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 We need that experienced centre back. I dread to think what will happen if Kerr or Gordon get an injury or loss of form.

Linky Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Just now, SconeSaintees said: Absolutely pathetic that he has to do that It's more than pathetic. It shows a lack of communication and trust within the club. Either the transfer policy is agreed or not. Tommy shouldn't be going to the press to show up the board, and complain about a lack of signings. But the board shouldn't put him in that position. We had this in the summer too. It has led to a soap opera, distracting the players from what should be happening on the pitch. tucker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linky Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Let's say the board come to Tommy and say 'look, money is really tight, we know it's bad, but we can't sign anyone until more players leave'. He should be going to the press saying, 'I'm really confident that my squad has what it takes to finish the season in a strong position. If we are able to sign anyone, that would be a bonus, but we already have some excellent players and I have every confidence in their ability to make sure the club finishes in a strong position'. Sometimes you have to put a brave face on a shitty situation for the sake of the reputation of the club, player morale and so on.

R.B.B:- Adz Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 We better be planning to use Kennedy’s transfer fee to strength in this window. Big loss for the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintJet Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 1 hour ago, RandomGuy said: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51239246 No offers in for any players. No incoming player even in talks with the club. Manager confirms more players have to leave before hes allowed to sign anyone. We have 17 fit senior players. Wake up Saints. Hold on a minute. We've just let a pretty good midfielder ( Callaghan) go to Dundee- brought to the club by TW along with Swanson. I back TW to the hilt but if we were that threadbare why are we letting cover go? Also, Tommy must have agreed to letting Matty leave so there again why leave yourself short at a critical time of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Jack Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 The chairman's been pretty generous with his cash....Tommy should be looking in the mirror and thinking about how much of our cash he's wasted before he gives it all this chat.

I agree here. Let's not read too much into this either - "If people don't like me saying it, that is tough, but that is where we are. " He might be directing this at fans being impatient. I think we will have a quality signing in and playing against Celtic on Wednesday. garydavidson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintJet Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 "I have hunch that We'll get news today that Kennedy is away; I just can't see Aberdeen letting this rest when they know they are very close. The Sheep are restless up there. If Matty was 100% staying he would have played some part on Wednesday." And by the way I've been right so far.

Sometimes it feels like either Tommy only finds out things like Kennedy leaving at the same time we do, or he's on a mission to annoy fans with bad news when it's not actually warranted. Otherwise, why come out with such a strange statement just before the news hits that Kennedy has left. SaintJet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you are right but to get a quality signing in by next Wednesday Tommy would surely have to have someone at least on the hook by now and he says he has nobody. Incidentally, he said we had 17 fit outfield players, so we are holed below the waterline but the pumps are still working.

It's a good point but maybe there is somone in the background who is procrastinating and needing a prod. I'm not buying it that TW sanctioned Kennedy leaving without someone in mind. south inch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger Bakers rebel army Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Winning in the cup had given me a wee bounce but the loss of Kennedy before tomorrow's crucial game is suicidal from Brown. What a ****in mess, again, complete shambles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
