Aye alright Elvis 😂😂

I got the same email which interestingly came from the club's address, I don't know Ian McLauchlan (the guy who seems to be behind it) but will register my interest if for no other reason than to hear what the thoughts/plans are........what we don't really need though is a situation where we have even more factions and division so fingers crossed it's all from a positive perspective.

To be fair you’ve shown him nothing but support so far 🙈

Step away from the Stella Ronnie….tonight isn’t a great look🍻

Every cloud and all that…..English football has/had always marketed itself well (best league in the world, every team can beat each other shite) but the reality was it had more money than anyone else and garnered more from its’ “brand” status. I’ve never really enjoyed the sanitised version of the last ten years.

Basil is always going to do that, history repeating etc…….the choice of everyone else is whether to engage in a dialogue that ends up in an ever smellier whirlpool of shit or not, TPFKA will let me know if that wasn’t his point I’m sure

I can see that, that's why it's probably best not to speculate.

I absolutely agree with the bits in bold.....both sides of the argument going on here are pure conjecture and should there be no court case the details will never be fully known unless all involved say their piece

Au Contraire,,,,I just read what you posted,. If he wants to re-sign, despite the reasons, if there’s room on the roster we take him. The current management team get the best out of him

Even if that's the case we have an additional year's option, which he'd have to sign, which would guarantee us more money which is decent business on the club's part.

It's not as if we're paying him....really, what is wrong with offering training facilities to a guy who was more than a decent servant and a guy that played through injuries for the club. If nothing else transpires for him at least he'll be fit if we decide to find an accommodation for him. That said it's a rumour from Warrior Saint so it's probably a lot of bollocks 😂

C'mon Scotland....time for clear heads and keeping calm 🏏🏏

Oh the poor wee victim ……. For what it’s worth I share your beliefs.

Welcome Zach and good luck between the sticks in your time at St Mirren, there's a decent squad around the place and a great coach in JL.

Totally different situation, they were out of contract and hadn’t (as yet in Dunne’s case) signed a new one….as such they were no longer St Mirren players.

There was a development fee with McGinn…..it really is pretty obvious and straightforward 🤷‍♂️

I think we’ve missed Ethan more than well miss Bacuus, I liked him as a player but I think if we properly replaced Ethan his berth is easier to fill

😂😂

It may have been written in his contract before he arrived that a fee of £275k (I don’t know if that was the fee or not and I doubt anyone else does) would allow him to speak to the buying club….he was worth nothing when he arrived on a two-year deal and we’ve got a season out of him plus whatever fee and add-ons going into the final year of his contract, it’s not the worst piece of business ever and we had no idea he was going to play for his country and/or a World Cup. I wish him well and enjoyed both watching him perform and listening to his positive chat about all things St Mirren.

Very clever 😎.....I saw them a couple of times when Pellow was fronting them, not particularly my kind of music but they always put on a decent show so quite looking forward to seeing them next month.

I last saw her at Tiree Music Festival last year so she unfortunately won't be there this year as it's generally only Tiree bands that play every year, non-Tiree bands every two years.......the festival is a good mixture of Trad, Folk and Mainstream(ish) bands and solo performers. Being headlined this year by Wet,Wet, Wet no less!!

A wee bit disappointing in the short-term but I suppose it increases any fee anyone would have to pay for him if there's a move to be had over he next couple of years.

Jill Jackson is outstanding in my opinion.....good singer/songwriter who does occasional good cover versions with some really good on-stage chat.

No argument there but I'd expect that the 250K risk will only occur if the club believe he has a sell-on value due to his performances......fingers crossed that is what happens.

My whole work-life has been in and around Employment Contracts and Recruitment across a wide spectrum of industries (Sports in general and football in particular on occasion)......there will be clauses and stipulations in the contract (sell on clauses, appearances after transfer, international appearances etc) but any club worth their salt and commercially aware, I believe currently St Mirren are, will have taken all of this into consideration before entering into contract. Worst case scenario for St Mirren will be that he's a dud and we've wasted some money on wages, best case is that he's a star who we have helped develop and will reap at least some of that reward if he moves on for decent money......mid-range is that he's worth his wages as a player for a year but it goes no further. I don't see how this changes St Mirren's strategy from being a club that develops for sell-on which is what I think your original point was.
