Not picking on your post but the courier just put up this article which covers the last few years of his time at Saints (it is disappointing to see the Courier running with such a sensationalist headline): https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/football/st-johnstone/5263756/max-kucheriavyi-st-johnstone-blasts-ukraine-interview “There was a total lack of communication with the coaching staff. I didn’t feel like I was progressing and learning new things. Sometimes I didn’t even understand the direction in which to move. In addition, the team was fighting for survival throughout the season, which also didn’t help." “At some point a dialogue began about extending the contract. To which I refused. For me, this was a key moment in my relationship with St. Johnstone, because after it, I felt that the attitude towards me changed a lot. There was a lot of dissatisfaction with me and criticism, both justified and unfounded, in my opinion. Over time, there was less playing time.” "I am grateful for all the people and circumstances that happened to me during all these years in Scotland. Thanks to them, I gained a lot of experience and grew as a person and as a professional.”

24 and 25 year old journeymen 🤣

Where as the manager...

https://www.perthstjohnstonefc.co.uk/news/article/paul-mcdonald-to-be-our-new-head-of-academy Paul arrives at McDiarmid Park with an abundance of experience behind him, most notably at Kilmarnock as their head of community and then academy director for almost 10 years. He was more recently director of the Thistle Weir Youth Academy at Partick Thistle and was also first team assistant manager.

The Courier has an article where the Pars owner states they are aiming to be back in the Premiership in the next two years. He actually sounds quite level-headed in comparison to some of the people who have made such statements in the past. https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/football/5258950/james-bord-dunfermline-athletic-pars-spfl-premiership Bord and business partner Evan Sofer took control of the East End Park club earlier this year and are determined to use their data analytics and artificial intelligence background to bring success to the Fifers. “In terms of spending, there’s a calculation: How long you stay in the Championship, and what you lose in cash-burn, against promotion? We have concluded that we’re happy to spend a little bit more money to give ourselves a better chance of going up as quickly as possible. We’d hope to be in the Premiership within two years. But, as long as I can see development in the playing style and in the playing squad, I think that [promotion] comes naturally. With a bit of luck, of course. We were looking for an outlet to develop young players. We have three clubs and we don’t want to bite off more than we can chew. A step-by-step approach is much healthier, as creating stress hurts performance”

Steven Pressley in as manager at Dundee.

I don't know if it was a friendly though, especially given Hardies reaction
