What? Are we claiming a penalty?

^^^^^^^ I will hold onto the belief that when one door closes another opens and Mallan, McGinn, McLear, etc. will see that hard work and consistency in performance can earn them a move to unfortunately, undoubtably better things and will make them fill the void. We also have the lad on loan who is a complete unknnown factor.

Sorry Drew. Given you cited United's statement on the closure of the transfer window I thought you were referring to the KM situation. I agree that the silence from the Board about other situations such as any potential takeover, or even rebuking any false statements, is ridiculous.

But do YOU sit on a tribunal that would decide?

http://www.saintmirren.net/pages/?p=40518 This might go some way to explaining things.

Sure it's not Boy George to bring a bit of Culture? Or By George? (I think we've got it)

I don't mean to bang on about this. Honestly. I was of the opinion that the board had ignored us but there was a statement from the club on 02/02/2015 which I hadn't noticed confirming and, yes, explaining Kenny's departure. http://www.saintmirren.net/pages/?p=40518

That depends on whether the contract was deemed reasonable.

And they probably paid under the odds for the title as well!

Go onto the official site and read the comment re Kenny. The player decided he would sign a new contract. Our supporters, our management team and, quite obviously, our BoD's all felt Kenny was a player worth having. IF we hadn't offered a contract worthy of the name he would have been able to leave for nowt. I'm pretty certain he would have got another club under those conditions. I'm as upset as many about him leaving but, let's be honest, we were accusing him of inconsistency last season. After calming down and reading the statement I now believe, contrary to my first inclination, that the Board did what they could to get McLean to sign. It's another piece of bad luck that he played so well for us during the first part of the season!

To be honest I don't have a Scooby how things are likely to pan out on the fourteenth. It could be the new lad makes us ask, "Kenny who?" or, "Whit the feck?" Until we see how we set up and how true to his word GT is about recruits I'll "haud ma wheesht" and hope there is an a p.m. (post Mclean) and not an a.m. (another massacre) on St Valentines day.

I posted on another thread but I think it worth reiterating. "I was of the opinion that the fee was too low but I see where you're coming from. If Kenny had stayed fit before and during the last two January windows we were all expecting his departure. After careful consideration and accepting what was reported on the O.S. I concur that it was outwith the boards control. I think we're all just upset that our apparent only saviour was "wheeked" from under our noses."

We just might flourish with natural right sided and natural left sided skillful players. It could even be that we'll be a better team. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be upset at shedding our top scorer and, as it stood, lynchpin in midfield for a paltry sum. I hope we find out that it was a very well disguised blessing and the names mentioned step up to the plate.

It appears they did. On the official website the club say they honoured an agreement with Kenny and Kenny wanted the move.

And here is the statement from the Saint Mirren board.......... .

Not true. If there was no release clause they just tell Aberdeen to Feck off or come back with a fee more akin to the present market similarities. Then let it leak that the Dons were sniffing and see where it takes us. The BoDs blinked first as they usually do.

That was before we sold our family silver for 5 magic beans!

I can't help but hope this came from the same source that had us sold "this week".

I would be very surprised if the release was triggered by the relatively measely amount of £300K. If the BoD's have allowed Kenny to move on without any clause kicking in they'll be called Santa Clause by the Dons. Aberdeen will get over £1,000,000 in the summer for the lad!

As pedantic as it seems, they weren't. Celtic were/are but, given the fact Rangers are deed, THE rangers were never a big club with European honours.

Long may that continue!

Only in the case of one of the two. We've had more forays into Europe than the rangers! We've won more domestic trophies than them too. In fact We've won more challenge cups than them and that's saying something given they've had 3 attempts to date!

Wrong. I think you'll find he's in cloud cuckoo land!

It's called communicating Drew. Not everyone will agree with me but, hey ho. Them's the breaks!
