McInnes and Levein both been quoted by our manager as speaking to him before making moves for our players, I'm not sure we how much respect we should be paying to two-bob West Lothian outfits with artificial pitches TBH. The fact we're even signing their player is enough respect already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not his place to announce a move like that at all, and not fair on the player. Last time he done it was when Brian Graham went behind his back to speak to County, and continued negotiations with Saints while telling us we were the only club in for him, only to find out he'd been telling County our offer and trying to get them to beat it.

Swello Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Much as I love hypocrisy as a football supporter, we can't complain that Wright has taken to announcing our signings, the day after scoffing at the fact that we should have been making courtesy calls to Livi about the same player. Would be interesting to know what's gone on to piss him off though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday St Johnstone were a club who had the courtesy to contact Holt first, today Tam Wright's announcing a transfer before the player himself or the club he's joining. "Unwritten rules" and all that. It'd be interesting to know the context though and taken on its own it seems a pretty salty comment from TW.

He generally has a reason for doing things like this, so I imagine we'll find out eventually. You'll probably find it's similar to the Graham example where hes been strung along in the dark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll know better than me whether there's ever any reliable stuff on WAP but there's a boy over there suggesting that Gallagher had verbally agreed with your lot then changed his mind and signed with us. I can see how that would piss on Tommy's chips if it's accurate tbf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Halloran, Swanson and Callachan were all confirmed about a week before it was announced. It certainly adds up though, as Wright generally only makes comments like he has if he feels someone was deceived him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He treats players with respect, and anticipates it back, that's maybe naive and sees him taken advantage of, but I think its helps with certain players. The likes of O'Halloran, Swanson and Watt have all mentioned it when signing. It's a shame players like Graham and Gallagher seem to take advantage of that to get better deals elsewhere, but that's where football is just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf I forgot about that Tbf he only done it once, when he joined Hearts. We never offered him a new deal when Hibs came in for him, and he was pretty open about that being a move he couldn't refuse.

weemac Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I think what is now becoming clearer each week is that Michael Stewart is ITK as f**k. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
