Lang Toon Saintee Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 2 hours ago, RandomGuy. said: Yes. Here's a few direct quotes from Swanson.. As I say. It's been reported by Robert Thomson that Swanson and TW had held talks, months before Hibs interest, about him extending his deal, but no contract was ever offered. Hibs made a move, we made a move, he moved to Hibs. If we'd been proactive and offered him a deal in September/October, he'd have extended his contract without any fuss. It's something that's happened under TW at least two or three times, maybe more that are unreported. To be fair to St Johnstone, they offered me a really good deal. Money-wise it was above and beyond what I expected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offer should've been given to him earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was offered the deal when hibs offered him one, only going to be one winner in that instance I'm afraid. If he'd been offered that same deal before Hibs were interested he'd have stayed at Saints. The only doubts I have about it all are who stalled on how/when that deal was presented. Did Danny say "come back to me in November/December time and we'll talk" or did Stevie Broon take his time about the whole affair and by that time Hibs had come in. Of course there is the other, more likely option, of wee Danny whoring himself out to the Hibbees behind everyones back but I'd rather not spoil my memories of him by thinking that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect most agents would be doing this all the time. You've got a deal as a fall back option, and use it as leverage for a better deal elsewhere. He does say in the article quoted before that even when Danny had agreed to sign for Hearts, he phoned Alan Stubbs to ask him to take him (Danny) to Hibs, so it's not beyond the realms of possibility that it was a similar story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was only offered a deal after Hibs had approached him, and he'd set his heart on leaving. For the fourth time, If we'd offered it before Hibs had approached him, he'd have stayed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Probably just 7 or 8 home games with a 3:00pm kick-off on a Saturday. Lucky we've been proactive in selling season tickets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there is the other, more likely option, of wee Danny whoring himself out to the Hibbees behind everyones back but I'd rather not spoil my memories of him by thinking that. The middle paragraph is the closest to what actually happened if you substitute "November/December " with "nearer the end of the season " . Random is wrong with the assertion that Danny would have stayed at Saints if they had offered a deal before Hibs spoke to him. They did, he didn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Those fixtures are shite. The two holiday games between Xmas/ new year away from home, how is that fair? I hope wee Broon kicks up a bit of a fuss about that. And yet again they f**k it up by only having 2 games at the most popular time of the season for folk to go to matches. Should be a new year game then a break so three fixtures. And a Boxing Day derby with st Mirren, haud me back. Not a big deal, but we were away to hearts twice last season and hibs once, surely it should be the opposite way round this season. Kilmarnock first day of the season is a disappointment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
