Double Winning St Johnstone FC Thread


Recommended Posts

How hard is it to reassure one of your best players, a fan of the club, that his future here is with us?

At 33yo youd be maybe agreeing that we'd be smart to not overly commit to a big, long, wage for him, but that would ignore the fact we spent the entire Summer doing exactly that on lesser players.

If I was going to give a two year contract to a guy in his 30s it would be to the club legend, the local lad, the guy who still contributes meaningfully whenever he plays and who probably still has an ambition to earn more international caps. No questions asked.

One of the few things the board could do to get some goodwill back is sign him on whatever he wants. 
 

instead they’ll let him go and blame us. Because we don’t turn up or some shite.

If the club starts overspending to try and placate fans then we're deep in the shit.

Fully convinced the signings over the Summer took us over budget and meant he'd lose some in the future, and hes not thought far ahead enough to understand what that actually meant.

180ish tickets ‘sold’ so far but how many of those are the free under 12s tickets? 
 

spoony is “key player” but can’t get a start in the last 4 games, seems like more bullshit from from the cautious one 

Actually, of the 180 tickets, how many are free ones for families of players etc or even prizes, compos etc.

I'd be doubtful that many more beyond what has gone already are sold.

The irony of this entire shambles is that any extra money the club makes from additional tickets to Rangers will be completely offset by Saints fans not turning up. Club could end up worse off financially if only a few hundred Saints turn up (that looks a best case scenario now!), as well as long term damage done with supporters 🤣 What a mess. 

The "board" will just blame Saints fans for not turning up and backing their team.  They will see this as full vindication of their decision to give Rangers all four sides of the stadium when we next play them.  The utter charlatan running the club will talk of a "modest" turn out again.

I can genuinely see them giving them the end of the main stand for the cup now too 🤐

Are we really at the point where the straw that breaks the camel's back is the extension/non-extension of a soon to be 33 year old midfielder recovering from a major knee injury?

It’s been simmering along for about 18 months to be fair.

When a club legend (possibly two) leaves the club, despite wanting to stay, because we've spent all our money on giving 3 year deals to the likes of Ali Crawford and Nicky Clark, i think folk will get angry tbf.

Has the squad of 74 players resulted in the club losing more than they thought?

👀

That's with them spending that COVID loan on players!

Are we going to end up the same this time next year with the size of our squad and fees we've been chucking about on diddies?

St Mirrens best side in 35 years with a record turnover of 4.2M and a 1.6M loss. St Johnstone with Callum Davidson in charge, a nearly 8M turnover with almost 5M in the bank.

Levels.
