Cagey Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 That's Midge just 3 appearances away from triggering a contract extension as well. Is that automatic or do both parties have to agree ?. Is is different from an option ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abernethy Saint Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 I think an option is what is being talked about. No, both parties don't have to agree. I expect there are various conditions to be met though, e.g. Fitness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Jack Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 I actually read slightly differently. I thought that if Millar/Craig/Macca play x games in a season then Saints are obliged to offer them something. They don't have to sign obvs..

RandomGuy Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Vine had one, reached the games mark, but the club never offered him a deal. While Tade hit the mark, got offered a deal, and rejected it. I imagine it maybe varies depending on the player? But no real idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David123 Posted February 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Midfielder Danny Swanson has warned Saints that he is prepared to open talks with other clubs if his contract situation isn't resolved soon. DS: "I thought we had agreed what was happening weeks ago so it has been dragging on too long for my liking." DS: "It really is down to Saints if they want to keep me. The clock is ticking and I'd like to get something done in the next few weeks." Hmm... Interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broon Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Hard to know who's telling the truth between Saints and Swanson but what's certain is it's affecting his football. He's hardly kicked a ball since Christmas. One way or another we need to sort it out so we can get him playing well again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crieffsaintandy Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Getting the excuses in about the poor form, a lot of people go to work worrying that they will still have a job, but still give 100% effort, maybe he shouldn't have delayed signing and waited for a new Mr 25% working for him, or more likely waiting to see what league his beloved Lochend Hobos end up in, loyalty works two ways Danny Edited February 18, 2017 by crieffsaintandy dublin saint and The ghost of Jim Morton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Wallace Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Regardless of the rights and wrongs this should not be in the press. Very disappointing seeing courier billboards all over Perth with this splattered all over the place. Let's hope it can get resolved quickly and professionally. crieffsaintandy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilgour Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Chairman needs to take a position on how much he wants him and Danny needs to decide how much he wants to stay. If they are reasonably close,win-win all round,however if not then it would appear he is being less reasonable than those who have put pen to paper.Obviously we can only speculate but its whats best for SJFC that counts.

Center Half Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 He says it was sorted out weeks ago, so it has been sorted, done . so why the spouting of to the press strange one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south inch Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Key phrase in the Courier interview could be "I now have an agent and clubs have been in touch with him". That is more likely to mean the agent has been contacting other clubs and is advising Danny to wait and see if any decent offers are tabled.

Shibbydoo Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Does the boy not learn from the past? Unhappy and issues in England, come to Saints, happy no issues. Moves to Hearts, doesn't play, unhappy and issues. Back to Saints happy and no issues. Moves to Hibs........ Etc etc. Hard to have sympathy for him when he clearly doesn't learn what's good for him and what isn't.

RandomGuy Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 ITK guy in P&B, who's been spot on many times before, is saying Swanson is wanting the highest wage we'll have ever given out.

Abernethy Saint Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 If he signs a long contract and returns to form, could make us half a million or more in the future, quite apart from what he does for us in the meantime. Big risk for a small club though. Major call for Broon. SaintJet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fergiefootball Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Swanson not even in the squad today ?? its likely Saints will not be happy with him going to the press. I think thats the last we,l see of Danny. Hope im wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
