Hendo Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I just hope when we signed him there wasn't a ridiculously low release clause put in. They wouldn't be that stupid would they? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we accept an offer of £350k for Baccus, the entire board should resign. That's not the way it works, top European clubs will take that sorta punt on a 16-y-o, whereas Baccus is 24 and the starting price of £350k is prob'ly based on a combination of his wage and the time remaining on his contract - that's the name of the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't be that stupid would they? The player and his agent might have argued for a release clause. It would make sense for them to do so. Even at that £350k is - as you say - ridiculously low. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthBank Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 The writer is a wee boy who knows nothing about Scottish Football. Probably saw a photo of Ethan and thought it was Keanu. Nothing to see here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably saw a photo of Ethan and thought it was Keanu. Nothing to see here. Lazy af journalism. The other tabloids are reporting that very same figure. There is no way I can see us accepting a bid that low with 18 months left on his contract. 2 summers ago we were looking for around 700k+ for McGrath with 12 months left on his contract, just prior to his first international cap, before we eventually accepted a lower offer with 6 months left on his contract the following January. I couldn't even imagine us entertaining 350k in the summer either. We knocked back similar for Lewis Morgan with 12 months left of his contract. Starting bid of 750k-£1m with a sell-on at the very least surely? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying there is any substance to this story but a lowish release clause (circa 350k) might have been reasonable for a young promising, but unproven player who was wanting to get into British football. Since joining us he has shown his market value is 7 figures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying you should, but I imagine there will be other St Mirren fans that are probably a bit annoyed by it so it is completely naïve from him, in my opinion. I certainly wouldn't want one of our players sitting with the top of a team in the same league as us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if he was wearing a Rangers or Celtic top it would be a bit embarrassing for the club as the media love that stuff but any other team in the league doesn't bother me. I've worn a Thistle scarf when I've gone with mates to see the Jags. Edited January 16, 2023 by Torfason 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was clearly only there to support his pal in a big game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry Saint Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 See we're appointing a head of academy to report into McManus. That is a bold move for a club that's going bust next week. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
