RandomGuy. Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Yeah it's not Leveins job to say, or decide, what happens to MacPherson IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I think any manager would say the same before any official statement is released. Speaking of the statement, they should just get it over and done with. Yaxley-Lennon has posted about it again this morning and the club is getting abuse from his followers despite saying nothing at this point, so we might as well just get it out there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevensanph Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I am guessing the fact there has been no statement, despite what was suggested in the emails from Adam Webb yesterday, means the response is going to be a lot stronger than I expected. If it was going to be a slap on the wrists the statement would have been made. I suspect its all now with employment lawyers... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you'd think they'd want it out the way before the line up is announced tomorrow, and you'd think the earlier the better so it all calms down before the game so it's not the main focus, but the fact it's taking so long suggests it could be more than a "he's sorry and it won't happen again, he'll miss a game or two as punishment". Or it's just taking ages because Webbs in America again and the time difference/communication method means things take ages? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sh*teAndMuck Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 BBC are some shower eh? They’re reporting that Saints have DEALT with the matter internally. However they have made this assumption based on Levein saying no comment. I’d imagine this is not dealt with until they make some form of statement about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless someone at the club has told them there won't be a statement? Maybe just me but I feel like the old guard would be happy to brush this under the carpet not while the new owner(s) won't want to, and there might be a disconnect in messages coming out the club? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they'll have to learn pretty quickly who the boss is now. Because if there is a reaction such as a termination of a contract etc it's going to be because of Webb. Really can't see Roddy and Gus losing much sleep over this or even grasping why fans might be unhappy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue probably has been already dealt with internally. They've just not announced publicly what that action was. Although it's unlikely to be the SACK HIM!!!!! call many have been demanding otherwise his side would have leaked that to cause outrage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren’t playing until Sunday, so it might be a good idea to distract our relegation rivals Ross County by releasing the statement at some point between 3pm and 4.45pm tomorrow while they are in the middle of a promising attack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Heliums Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) The reason there will be statement is that the club has to say they stand against the sort of stuff MacPherson was tweeting. Otherwise you risk alienating both supporters – and players. You also have to a duty to let your supporters know how and why the player is being punished. It's fans' money that is paying his wages after all. My guess is that they'll release such a statement soon. I hope the punishment is at least a maximum fine, perhaps a suspension, and that MacPherson will do some work with anti-racism organisations. I'd also expect an apology from the player, both to the fans and his team-mates, but I won't be paying too much heed to that. It's how the club behaves that's important now.

tree house tam Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I hated Cami anyway, because of his lack of footballing ability, his reading of the game and his general attitude to being a professional at the club I support. A statement from him won't stop me abusing him, neither will the strip he's playing in. Suppose that says a lot about me but I'm happy with that, I'm a bit of a p***k. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevensanph Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Just dealing with it internally is not compatible with the emails sent out by Webb yesterday, so would be very surprised if that's the case. Of course, if nothing happens and he is playing Sunday, it will be very telling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muirton Saint Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I imagine a decision has already been made and depending on the severity club lawyers will simply be doing their job. Once everything's finalised a statement will be put out per Webbs emails. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
