Center Half Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 It may be as simple as, having spent the last 6 weeks with nothing much to do but amble about the house, paint the fence in the garden and have the odd walk in the afternoon, that he has now decided that living a job 365 days a year , 24/7 that he has had enough and wants more of this Lazy type life!

Wendy Saints Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Just in the way we won the cup, the stars aligned, and I pretty much feel the same with TW’s departure. Most reasons that have been mentioned go on at other clubs, chairman holding tight purse strings etc, I do think it was crass of Preston to make insinuations regarding why he left. You either tell the whole truth or just shut up. I think the reasons are probably more mundane and it has been death by a thousand pinpricks. I’m sure history will eventually show that as much as it pains me to say it.. TW left at the right time. How many managers can leave a club a hero, and be able to return at some point an even bigger one! Will things be the same again? Probably not, but folk adjust... I won’t stop following Saints just because of a change of manager... TW thanks for the CUP, can die happy Saintdunc, Melbourne Saint and McCarry One Nil 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Tommy said he had a fallout with Steve Brown in January regarding not getting in the transfer targets he was looking for. He had pre contracts with Rooney & McCart . Don't know if these were done before the spat or not. He then lost Kennedy & managed to get McCart early with part of Kennedy's transfer money . We then went on to play probably the best & most entertaining football in the last 3 years. Wonder if we would have been even better with Tommy's targets. Can anyone explain why ?.

McCart added to the defence confidence. Other players became the out ball as opposed to just Kennedy. In attacking sense more freedom for other players as everything was not going through one player like when Kennedy in team. Good move getting money for Kennedy and bringing McCart in early.

I was hounded on here for saying that Kennedy is overrated! Players began to see him as the star player, and just gave him the ball every time. He began to see himself as the star player and would just dribble until he’d run out of space. Other clubs saw him as the star player and doubled up on him every time. Selling Kennedy saved our season. Shaggy Jenkins, Johnny B, Wendy Saints and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abernethy Saint Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 I’d be very surprised if we didn’t have a first, second and even third choice identified. Would guess we are waiting on various situations to clarify, and saving shitloads of cash every month in the meantime. Including all employee costs, probably 8 - 10k a month, which is not small change for Saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 The August 1st start date isnt even guaranteed. It relies on no more spikes of cases, and all clubs being willing and able to test their squad a couple of times a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be completely wrong as the club tends to keep these things close to its chest, but I'm increasingly starting to suspect that Cleland will be given the chance to take us through the next few months and then we'll see where we stand in terms of the season starting (if it has) and how things have gone. As you say, they'll be saving money by not rushing the decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 I don't think the English Championship season 2019/20 will be finished until end of July & Callum Davidson will not be available til then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
