I couldn’t care less about the game, I just want you to stop calling Kimpioka “Kimpy”. Benji is fine. Kimpy is horrific.

Get Ross back as well, "he will sort it"! -
Bring a friend to the game Saints v Livi 2nd March
Aitchy replied to glenrothes saintee's topic in Saints Chat
I am no IT expert, but there would have been some way that the system could be set up so that season tickets holders were able to enter their barcode number and receive a free ticket. Its not as though there is going to be a great demand from non season ticket holders to buy a ticket for this game. Thankfully our wonderfully efficient SLO has managed to sort things for me. -

The rot set in when Davidson and Brown started coming out with stuff about us “just being happy to be in the league” and “avoiding relegation would be a bigger achievement than winning two cups”. An organisations mindset is set by those at the top. Coyle, McInnes, Lomas and Wright were always looking for us to be more ambitious and push us on to the next level.

Bring a friend to the game Saints v Livi 2nd March

Went to try and get a ticket for someone just now using my season ticket, but wasn't able to. Then looked at the initial article on the official site and it states season ticket holders had to have claimed extra ticket by last Monday!! 🤦♂️ Seem bizarre. Surely we should be doing all we can to get as many through the gate as we can for this game. -
Gallacher as in Tony..... Liverpool full-back Tony Gallacher joins St Johnstone on permanent deal - BBC Sport

I cant see a change being made this season. Levein was brought in to keep us in the league and at this moment in time we are evidently in a better position in the leagues than when he came in. Come this Saturday at 5pm we will have a better indication of where we are at. Really need to be looking for two much better performances than what we have seen since our return from the winter break. A win against Livi on Saturday is a must. I can see us finishing 11th. Cowie has come across well in his interviews and the likes of Dhanda, Murray, White and Brophy are all capable of scoring goals. I would have absolutely no confidence going into a play off game against the likes of Morton or Raith with this bunch of players. We would get bullied all over the place. As has been mentioned, given Levein a three year deal seems madness. After being burnt with Macca on a three year deal, surely the club should have learnt a lesson.

I like the look of that team. Only change I would make is Gallacher for Robinson. As @double deluxe has mentioned, Robinson has been miles off it since his return. After Saturday, surely it has to have crossed Levein and Kirks minds that we need to change things up. This Aberdeen team are vulnerable and they have one of the most fickle supports in the league. We should be aiming to be aggressive and on the front foot as much as possible in the opening stages.

Very surprised that no names have leaked yet. They perspective new owner/s were apparently sitting in the directors boxes at the Ross County and Hearts games with Saints scarves on! The only thing I have heard is that potential owner is "one of the top lawyers in the states".

Once Levein initially came in I was open minded. I hoped that his most recent unsuccessful spell at Hearts was as a result of him taking on too much and that his time out of the game would have made him reflect and we would get closer to version of Craig Levein when he was manager at Dundee United. Things started reasonably well and he did seem to have us more structured and organised but since the Hibs game just before Christmas we have been awful and now I have serious doubts about him. What are we working on in training? Our lack of attacking threat is absolutely embarrassing. St Mirren were quite happy to just let us have the ball at the back today us they knew we offered nothing going forward and they just waited on us inevitably losing possession before breaking against us with pace and numbers against our cumbersome defenders. Leveins been in football for a long time and Andy Kirk has been hailed as a great coach so how neither of them can see this is beyond me. A change of formation? Perhaps look at bringing Sprangler or May on? No, it’s alright we will just bring Max on to pass the ball backwards and sideways. Levein talked about feeling he could improve players. Who has actually improved under him? Nobody as far as I can see. I can see why so many are scunnerred with things at the moment. Paying £300 for a season ticket and/or attending away games at an average cost of £50 per games to watch us offer nothing. The football on display is dreadful. Can anyone offer any sort of explanation as to why Gallacher was at rwb today? Never a great sign when a manager brings in his own players and a few weeks later they can’t get in the team. The players also need to take a bit of responsibility as well. It’s simple things like giving possession away and not tracking runners. We have the opportunity to get rid of a lot of players who have simply not been up to at the end of the season, but unfortunately at this moment I have seen very little that gives my any confidence that Levein will be able to rebuild a squad that can be energetic, determined and most importantly offer much more in an attacking sense.

I think we will all have an element of concern. The only thing that provides me with some reassurance is that Geoff is not daft and has always tried to do what he thinks it’s right for the club and has been open about the fact that he will only sell to the “right people”. Both Dundee teams were already car crashes before being taken over whilst at least we are relatively financially healthy.

I would agree with that assessment. The return of Stan Harris and the removal of some of the charlatans that were hanging around the club has been encouraging, but the club has been stagnant for a number of years now. If things are at a stage whereby the SFA have been informed, then Geoff must be pretty confident that the sale will go through. American investment in Scottish football has not exactly been a roaring success yet. Ogren at Dundee United has burnt through 13 million and finds his club stuck in the Championship with no guarantee of getting up this year with big earners like Watt, Middleton and Moult on the wage bill. The owners at Dundee do seem to have finally got things heading in the right direction, but are hedging are their bets on getting approval for a new stadium and it being a success. Hibs have had numerous managers and recruitment has been criticised, but they do seem to get credit for improving things off the pitch. It will be interesting to hear if the new investor/s have links with any other clubs. I can’t say I am enthusiastic about us becoming almost a feeder club and fear we would lose a bit of our identity, but it does seem to be the way Scottish football is going, particularly in light of the recent SFA/SPFL approval of the owner of Bournemouth being able to invest in Hibs. What would be people’s views on what could be improved if and when new owners take over? Evidently we all want to see an improvement in the first team, but I think we can vastly improve our engagement with fan base and wider community. There does seem to have been an attitude from the Browns for a number of years now that there is no point in trying to build or maintain or fan base. It’s evident that we need to vastly improve our recruitment side of things at the club. Would also be nice to see Alistair Stevenson given more resources. He works miracles on a minuscule budget at the moment and it would be fascinating to see what else he could achieve with more resources.
