Yes rumoured to have a liking for one of The OF in younger years, but he's grown up going to St Johnstone matches with his dad as chairman since the mid 80's. Goes to pretty much every match each season. Sometimes see him with directors on the train upto Inverness or Dingwall having a few bevvies, or seen them in the pub before matches at Dens. I don't know the guy other than in passing through going to away games, but folk can complain all they want about decisions etc, but I think you'd be struggling to put up a reasonable argument that he, or any of our directors, are not Saints fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviemay17 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I get we're not going to go and spend £1m+ on players, but it would be nice if we sanctioned around 150-200k so Grieve can widen his search a bit and find the odd gem 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figure I saw on twitter was Charlton offered £500k then Wigan offered £600k. The description of "blowing out the water" is proper journalist click bait stuff you see constantly.

Making any offer less attractive to someone who has an agent saying you can make 2 or 3 times what you make here whether St Johnstone get relegated or not.. But it could be along the lines of If relegated, can be bought out of contract by another club for e.g. £50k. That way, we don't have big wage players in a lower league We can't afford, and the players are available to move to play in the top league and get a good deal elsewhere, whilst we get a small amount of compensation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlton’s offer may well have just been a flat £500k as well, while Wigan’s includes a sell-on clause 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but if they actually get relegated the likelihood of being an attractive target is diminished in any case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lang Toon Saintee Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 If we turned Hibs bids down for McCart there is no way that we then accepted a 200k bid for Kerr 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I’m estimating we received about £450k from Charlton. I’d have assumed that was a reasonable offer for the board before the Wigan offer came in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I jumped the gun because It's all so frustrating to have lost two important players on the final day.

Mr Heliums Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) Ach, we might struggle to replace McCann and Kerr, but I find it reassuring that there are so many people on this forum who could clearly do a far better job than our chairman.
