The main purpose of this lift will be to facilitate more lucrative corporate hospitality for the prawn sandwich brigade!!!!

With my low IQ & your hideous face - We'd make a great team!

If something's going to be "lucrative" then that's a good thing for Saints, no?

I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make in apparently sneering about things that are obvious improvements.

Besides all that, isn't the point of the lift to improve disabled access?

And for clarification my inference was that the new lift would be largely used to move consumables and was NOT any depreciation of the needs of disabled people!!!!

[CAH]

Blue heaven - you need to go back to the beginning of this conversation - Of course any increase in revenue to the club is welcome. But not at the expense of the football dept & Saints seem to have got their priorities skewed. ie: great facilities  & a shit team!!!

And let Gordon and McGowan go too. 

That whole McGowan situation was a real embarrassment for Saints, and Levein in particular.

I know he wasn't a world-beater but I think McGowan would have come in useful for us this season and I'd certainly have rather seen his contract extended than Cammy MacPherson's. I also still think we'd have been better off with Stevie May in the squad than without him.

I think Liam Gordon's a slightly different one - his performance levels had really dropped and it felt at the time like he needed the move and a fresh start.

Thought that Scoreboard, LEDs, Lift and other improvements are to meet either legal or ground grading regs. Perhaps same with astro, upgrade to get ahead of any incoming grading regs.

Never forget that Levein saw fit to replace Mitov with someone wholly inexperienced.

Backed up by someone similarly inexperienced.

Hmmm….I’m not sure Rae was supposed to be a Mitov replacement. I think the idea was to let him play the first few cup games to see if he’d be first team or reserve, with the expectation that a bigger budget was coming with the new owner

[RandomGuy]

It was widely rumoured Levein wanted Craig Gordon as first choice keeper and goalkeeping coach and thought he could tempt him.

Quite how sensible that was considering the Hearts manager had been open for months before the summer window opened that he wanted to keep Gordon is up for debate.

[R.B.B:- Adz]

Would Monday 26th May be too early to expect to see the released players list?

Genuinely buzzing!

Start of new era…

Last 2 seasons I’m sure the released list was within a couple of days. 
 

Id heard a rumour players were being told today of their futures.

Been mentioned somewhere that Monday is when itll he released, and players already know who's been offered something and who isnt.

Stevie May would’ve been much better than Clark in the deeper role, played with his head up, and looked good there in league cup games 

[RandomGuy]

I found Nicky Clarks total disappearance a bit odd tbf.

Like he wasn't great and was clearly too slow to play up front, but he also hadn't been so bad that he needed ignored entirely when chasing results.

Apparently, and I stress this is apparently, there’s more to it.

I'd have used Clark up front more often than we did. His finishing ability had regularly rescued us on previous occasions and I felt there were times he'd have been a better starting option than Kirk/Sidibeh. I don't think he ever really worked as a midfielder, though.

Can't help but think something must have happened to make Simo lose faith in him. At a previous fans' forum Simo spoke really highly of him and spoke about the decision to make him captain. A few months on from that he barely started another game.

Wasn't injured and can't be fitness issue or the manager would have mentioned it - Something defo happened behind the scenes!

Agreed

[Tattie-bogle]

His outburst after that county game really soured me to him so I'm only guessing it was an attitude thing.

I remember scrutinizing his attitude in that video when Simo took over and thinking his body language to a new manager was not great.

Given he was then made or kept as captain I just reckoned I was being biased but who knows.

Agreed and we can thank Levein again for his part in isolating May to a point that not only did May want out, but apparently wanted to ensure there was no recall option to the loan in January as he didn't want anything to do with Levein.

Still think that IF May accepts a huge wage reduction, then I'd be offering him a contract. Ultimately he won't get a Premiership club now and hopefully would want to be part of the attempt to get his club promoted.

Not saying he would be starter, but would give the running, energy, experience and the experience on and off the park.

Same with the dumping of Smith & Raymond though

[crieffsaintandy]

Personally now we know where we are, we need fresh players in, why keep looking back at the mays off this world who can't get a game for livi, time to move on, these guys were part of the last four years of utter dross, fresh start and new blood required me thinks

I think it is just because he has been poor anytime he got on the park in the latter part of the season. Still got the captains armbands when he came on.

May is finished.  If he carries on playing it will be lower Championship or League One level.  He can’t get a game for Livi.
