They put out a tweet saying that they’ve rejected two bids from Hibs and state that he’s not for sale, now we find out he’s having a medical. Shambles, they can f**k off with this one it’s a step too far for me. It's called negotiating. We clearly wanted more money for him, and looks like we've got it. He would've gone anyway, as apparently refused a new contract with us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC17 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Pig sick tonight. Watched it on Alba and we were good for the first hour. Played without fear, pressed them high, controlled the game in spells - albeit without posing a great deal of threat. However, not long after we scored you could see us sinking deeper, they got fresh legs on and the inevitable happened. You just knew it was coming. MacPherson and Erhahon, I thought, were very good - and there absolutely no lack of effort throughout the team - but that meant we were dead on our feet after about 70 minutes and that's what cost us. Three outfield players on the bench is a joke, and Goodwin not using them - even just to waste time - is another joke. Let's not pretend Erhahon's wonder goal didn't paper over the cracks, either. We barely had a shot on goal and Erwin and Obika did most of their work 30 yards from goal. We're an absolute mess on all fronts, and I honestly don't see an easy way out of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Goodwin has not been backed as he wanted to keep Kyle. We should change our name to Aldi Saints. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paisleysaints Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Anyone who thinks that squad won't finish rock bottom are sniffing the good stuff Losing our captain before he's kicked a ball. Will Goodwin even get any of that dough. And yes its a drunken post but true haha 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodDon Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I've got to say, Erhahon and MacPherson were stand outs today, fantastic in the middle of the park. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralstonite Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I'm more concerned with the club's existential survival, rather than retaining our Premiership status. These aren't normal times, fans need to unite behind the club, not talk of asking SMISA for a refund. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would've gone anyway, as apparently refused a new contract with us. Agreed on this point, its clearly what happened. What seems a wee bit odd though is how Goodwin feels about this - he seems to have been asked to deliver the message a few days ago that "The captain isnt up for sale" etc etc............and then last night is rightly pissed off about what has ultimately happened. If he feels that the board in some way played him, then that doesnt bode well for team/management unity. I have to say I thought this deal was dead, but how it has finally emerged is all a bit strange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo87 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Apparently Kyle wanted a 4 year deal which we weren’t prepared to give him due to his recent injury which is totally understandable (& unrealistic on his part). I refuse to believe we have let him go for less / the same money as we would have received for him leaving on a PCA as has been alluded to on here. I think he has massive potential and would have loved to have kept him, but is ( albeit grudgingly) probably the wise choice under the circumstances.The lower leagues and national league are still a shambles down south so I think we will still have an opportunity to bring in a few players before the window. Goodwins recruitment has been ok up until now (it looked at in isolation of performances / tactics), let’s hope he has some targets lined up and the board back him accordingly. He clearly hasn’t lost the dressing room based on last nights performance, he’s a smart guy and would like to think he’s learning from his mistakes (I’ll be the first to admit there’s been several this season including last night). I think we need to work with this for at least another 4-8 games for him to get things right.Playing devils advocate here, Goodwins statement suggests he’s been shafted, I have it on good authority Kearney was shafted, and stubbs has always said the goalposts moved after he got the job, do we have a board who have a habit of saying one thing and doing another !? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why all Saints fans should back SMISA. The sooner we have fan ownership and a board that is accountable to the fans, the better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magennis tied down for 4 years would be fantastic business from a boardroom point of view. His value due to contract length would increase double maybe more. Why wouldn’t the board agree to that? Kyle was never signing a new deal. Simple as that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not seen a number quoted in any news reports. I’ve seen £200k listed next to the lad from Crewe they were linked with. £200k would surprise me given what we’d make from compensation at the end of the season. Although the relative silence from the board in recent weeks, and from SMISA is starting to concern me. We’ve got some ‘nice’ people in SMISA, but do we have any leaders? I’m not so sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proudtobeabuddy Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 A wee board statement would help here. They've just sold our captain when we're struggling at the bottom of the league, that's not exactly inspiring news for the supporters. I'd like to know if that money is getting reinvested in new signings? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZingaliMan Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 If we had sold Magennis during the week I would have been disappointed but accepted it. However for the club to come out and tell the press OUR CAPTAIN IS NOT FOR SALE. Then go behind our managers back and sell Magennis without our manager knowing is not disappointing its fuckin scandalous. Dont expect to be fed all details from the boardroom by SMISA but your not a zilch. Have followed Saints more than 50 years have been to most grounds in Scotland, followed us into England and Europe never have I thought of giving up supporting the club until now. My anger over this is getting the better of me. If the club need a cash injection I'm sure some sort of negotiation could have been put to SMISA members. I'm surprised Goodwin has not resigned over this going behind the managers back is unacceptable. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
