Jenko82 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 If this latest tedious transfer twist is by any means true, I now genuinely couldn't care less about the coming season, I will still use my season ticket but without any ounce of enthusiasm, which will match how the club seems to go about its business. What a truly sorry state of affairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee United are in their 4th season in the championship so it's not an easy league to get out of these days. It will cost Saints a lot of money getting relegated.

SlickDT Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 I've gone past frustrated to not bothered any more...... This is going to be a horrible season- all the signals of relegation. An unhappy crowd watching a depleted team which has already shown a lack of fight last weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havana Saint Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Just saw Hemmings news. Blood was draining out of Tommy with the May saga, this is now draining the blood out of all Saints fans. We are gonna end up with Iwelumo part deux. Shambles if all true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Tommy said anything publicly about Hemmings? As far as I can see, we've offered a loan deal for Hemmings. He and/or his club would prefer a permanent move. Meanwhile, Steve Brown has completely ****ed up the negotiations with Stevie May after offering him less than before. If the same deal had been offered which was previously turned down, Stevie would be a Saints player now. This has developed into a total farce and the chairman has dealt with it shambolically.

RandomGuy Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 A shambles. Nothing more to say really. Amateur club gets made to look amateur. If Brown doesnt wake up and realise hes the issue in most of our problems signing players, then we're ****ed. I genuinely think we'll go down this season, and I can't even argue it wouldnt be deserved. This summer window has reeked of arrogance that we're too far ahead of the bottom sides.

There will be a relegation clause in the contracts a percentage reduction in salary and some players will have a get out of jail free card; a termination of their contract if we are relegated. How many currently negotiating a new contract will not put a release clause into their contract. Goalkeepers 1 Zander Clark (27) -2020 12. Elliot Parish (29) - 2021 45.

That’s how hard it will be to bounce right back up. We need it sorted now and the above will not be in our thoughts.t take us to get k up.

Unfashionable St.Johnstone Football Club + “city of” Perth + low wages + no chance of silverware + playing in front of 3000 fans... Mmmmm very appealing for your average 15+ a season striker. Not! Never did I say we were too good for Stevie, my point was it seems we have spent too long now trying to get him and it seems its still not going to happen. Not saying there are loads of 15+ goal strikers waiting for the call from Saints but there would have been a few other options which have probably also gone now.

Considering we apparently made a loan offer for Hemmings, who plays for a club who's desperate to raise funds, tells you everything about how our hunt for other targets would be. Our last rejection was from Declan Gallagher, we then signed Wallace Duffy instead. A comparative drop off in quality from May/Hemmings to who we sign will see us relegated.

blueheaven Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 If it's true that the May deal has died again, then surely Saints now need to come out and give their side of things. Because from what's being reported it's making Steve Brown look stubborn to the point of being self-destructive. Surely to agree a deal with the manager's number one target, and then go back on it, is simply cutting off our own nose to spite our face and is a massive kick in the teeth for Tommy Wright. Rowan Vine was accused of moving the goalposts before but it now looks like our chairman has done the same thing. How many times this summer have we heard about this new strategy of going for quality over quantity... which all sounds great, but did the board seriously not understand the extent to which bringing in "quality" actually involves spending money?? Very worried about who we'll end up signing at this stage (an English youngster on loan? someone else from Ireland?), and I also think that the way things are going there's a genuine possibility of us taking a hammering from Livingston at the weekend. On a lesser scale it's also a bit worrying that it was mentioned above that the club hasn't even bothered to put the Livi match tickets online yet. What the hell is going on with Saints these days?

Liam Gordon will be as good as Joe after new year We scored 38 goals in 38 games, lost our joint top scoring striker, while we stayed out of safety due to the 8 game unbeaten run, where Shaughnessy was a major player in all the clean sheets we had. In the last 15 games of last season St Mirren and Hamilton got more points than us, with Livingston getting just one less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there was one league match to play for - why the players and manager supposedly took it all to heart shows you the mindset is not right and it should have been sorted out after those three matches. It has been used as an excuse to cover for our dire form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Mikey Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Disappointed in Hemmings offer. A loan?! WTF. Notts County are needing rid of players due to financial issues and we offer a loan. We were probably put off by a potential of a small fee considering County paid £100k for him not that long ago. I wonder how many other players we’ve tried to get that aren’t publicised. If the rumour of Mays original deal that was accepted but didn’t cross the line but has now been reduced down reeks of selfishness. You had a great offer, didn’t sign, now come back so here’s half the offer FFS. 2 weeks on from last attempt and still no key players.
