Who gives a f**k about St Johnstone anyway They are worried that when the new league structure is announced consisting of an American based franchise set up, they will be run by a former Tory politician and be known hence forth as the Perth Farmers.

Leith Green Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 3 minutes ago, RandomGuy. said: One of the clubs spoke just last month about cutting the SPFL down to 24 clubs, and claimed he had backing from other clubs. Its fairly obvious what this is about. I rather suspect he thinks that part time diddies have their place in the game, but it may not be at the same table as the larger clubs. Not sure I disagree to be honest. There are junior clubs with better finances and facilities than some league 2 clubs......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you need to write his name out first in case we wouldn't have got who you meant by Nelms? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 1 minute ago, Jim McLean's Ghost said: And let us not forget about Ann Budge saying there were too many teams. In the last year we've had Budge and Gordon talk about cutting down the amount of teams, and Nelms talked openly about needing to improve the TV deal and how its the "teams at the top" who "earn the money". Who knows about Ogren but hes deluded enough to think he can make money out of United, while Cormack is a complete dreamer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting on Queens Park and Dumbarton fans to pitch in now and trump you! I could have just went with 'come back and comment when you have won more major honours' but went with the first one.

The Other Foot Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 15 minutes ago, PauloPerth said: Absolutely hilarious when you look at the 5 clubs pushing this! Easily the 5 biggest underachievers in our sport are desperate for things to change... quelle surprise! After The OF, these 5 are probably the 5 next best supported clubs, which you would think would provide a base from which to achieve a degree of success. But in reality the combined amount of debt and relegations between them over the past decade tells its own story. These 5 perennial failures are right to organise a review. And it should be solely aimed at how not to run your club like a shitshow. Yet another 'look over there' from their owners which their respective supports' will swallow up. "It's someone else's fault we're shite!" St Johnstone have won the same number of major trophies in the past decade as these 5 put together. If you want to know how it's done, just pick up the phone, we're happy to help. Meanwhile, enjoy your review lads!! Gave you a greenie because that is some phenomenal meme usage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
