They're negotiating with Rowan Vine, not May himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Strasser Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 As mentioned already we are not buying the player of 5 years ago. Whoever buys him is taking a huge gamble on a player whose career is on a downward trajectory and has suffered a terrible injury. I wouldn't expect a blow by blow account but would agree that this is where a little bit of PR would be helpful but Saints being Saints that won't happen.

I get that mate but a player can get his agent told surely. Players have the power so I’d say if what was put on the table was acceptable to May, then Vine says to push more on it, if the player is adamant on coming then he says no that deals good enough let’s get it signed. Nobody will know exactly what’s snagging it but still leaves us with players needed for the new season and only 2 back ups signed.

RandomGuy Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Robert Thomson confirms a move for Cummings is unlikely. Also seems to confirm the May deal is completely and utterly dead. No idea where we go from here. Kane and Hendry our only strikers, and McMillan being forced out the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fans need and demand answers on this. If the chairman thinks the strike force we have will keep us up then we are doomed. If it is completely dead the club should highlight what a good deal was offered and the reasons why it’s been rejected. Is it player and/or agent pushing this. I said to a Scumdee supporting mate a few weeks back he’d sign for them due to the basic fact they can offer more cash but reeks of a lack of ambition to keep playing at the top level.

Templar Saint Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) My understanding from my source prior to last nights game was: May had passed medical on Tuesday. SPL had agreed change of players numbers - MOH to 25 May 17 as Saints requested. Videos done for unveiling May in Wednesday morning supposed to sign contract to make him Saints highest earner ever and states he had a higher offer and we needed to match it. Talks breakdown. Vine seen at match alongside with Jim Goodwin (could be coincidence). Do not know if Vine was there to try and revive the May deal or not.
