RandomGuy. Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 What's the deal with the old tannoy guy, btw? Is he salty at the club or legit? For the past few weeks hes been suggesting the May deal fell through initially because Brown was at a meeting for GS Brown the day May was due to sign, and when May asked for alterations to the contract, they couldn't get a hold of Brown and it fell through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjoey Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 As others on here have said, this is a total embarrassment for both St Johnstone and Stevie May. Aberdeen have done almost everything possible to make the transfer happen. What Aberdeen need to do now is to totally embarrass St Johnstone by giving Stevie May to St Johnstone, pay the extra amount to St Johnstone that May is looking for, for them to give to May, and stipulate that he never ever plays against us. Sorted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tree house tam Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 43 minutes ago, RandomGuy. said: Further comments from Thomson seem to be confirming we're still technically a part time time club (maybe even worse?) over transfer windows, as Steve Brown is, according to his own words, only there full time on Tuesday and Friday during the week, and every deal has to have his sign off. Makes you wonder how many deals we've missed out on due to situations like this May one. I'd be stunned if this was the first example of it, it'll just be the first in the public domain. Did you not know this already? Been like that for years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorted. I feel sorry for you lot, tbh. You've done right by May by allowing him to walk away for nothing as his career stagnating, and you're probably wanting to conclude further deals once his wage is gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assumed he'd be in all the time during transfer windows due to how quickly things can change, didn't give it much thought tbh. Looking back instances like Swanson signing for Hearts, makes you wonder if we'd agreed a deal with him on the Tuesday, he got his pay off down South, and then we didn't actually get him in to sign it on the Friday, but by then Hearts had come in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely though it could have been sorted like the next day or after his meeting finished though? Like I cant see that May needed an answer within a few hours, its not like it was deadline day. I've no idea if true of course but just seems unlikely, presume you think similar? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked the Swanson one. Agreed to leave Coventry on Tuesday the 1st September, it was heavily reported he was signing for us. A week later, Wednesday 9th, he was announced by Hearts. Did we wait until the Friday to give him the contract, giving Hearts time to build a deal and blow us out the water? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suspect we're playing a bit of a game of chicken here, given you agreed a permanent deal before and that's we'd prefer we're just telling you to piss off on a loan deal in the hope you back down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth remembering he needed to be registered in time to play that night. I know someone who reminds me of Brown in terms of business, if they came out a meeting and found out someone they're negotiating with was asking for more money at the last minute, theyd simply tell them to f**k off.

Google "bulletproof Steve Brown St Johnstone", read the article, and figure out how that'll go. He doesnt seem to understand we're a football club. He asks in the article why football clubs have so many players because "in business you dont give half your staff the day off but still pay them". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milne isn't exactly a charitable main either. If he feels we're getting a worse deal because of an issue between Saints and Stevie May then he'll be stubborn too. Quite sad really, it's in the interest of both clubs and obviously the player to get it done. I suspect it will go to the wire now in any case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I would make a lot of fuss if we could sign someone who would guarantee at least 4 goals.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
