saint in exile Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Div in the know that we're getting replacement(s)? Black & White Army@bawarmy6 mins6 minutes ago Let's judge the club on the whole days dealings rather than throwing all our toys out the pram guys. Why, are we finally getting sold?

marrez Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Absolutely gutted if Kenny goes - he's been the one guy this season that his rolled up his sleeves and gave 100% in every game, becoming the player that we all hoped he would turn out to be. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 The second post is what I'd say about the first..... I'll stand by that first post. People who aren't regarding this as a pretty disastrous development in terms of the timing and our perilous position are, quite frankly, delusional. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalrybud Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Sod's law he'll score against us. No matter what happens the rest of today, you could say that grabbing whatever cash is on offer is tantamount to saying the BoD has no faith in Gary keeping us up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopCat Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Not surprised he has a release clause. That'll be why we managed to keep him in the summer. If Aberdeen (or anyone) meet the release clause and Kenny wants to go then that is that, there's nothing the club can do. We still have a few hours to get some kind of replacement sorted. People saying it will require now a miracle to keep us up though... Talk about an over reaction! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, if there is a release clause in Kenny's contract, they couldn't block the move, so I'm not blaming the BoD for this one. Doean't make it any less painful, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise now why the NHS is fecked by people calling an ambulance because they have a hangover. I think you will find the timing is down to something called a transfer window. anyone who thinks he would have stayed on is, quite frankly delus kidding himself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doean't make it any less painful, though. I'm not blaming the BoD or the player, still a kick in the baws - just as Arabs fans will feel watching Celtic rape them. Life of course goes on, but I hoped to see McLean kick on at an English Championship club. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 People saying it will require now a miracle to keep us up though... Talk about an over reaction! Nope. You'll recall that Ricky Gillies almost single-handedly kept us up last time we were relgated from the top flight. Arguably, big daft Kirk all but kept us up at the end of our first season back. I firmly believe that a single player can have this type of impact. McLean has been what makes this team tick (however erratic that ticking has been). Without his input, I reckon we would be sitting at the foot of the table, and with him gone, we could lose shape and momentum. It is only my view, but I think this could prove to be disastrous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomsons dropped it Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 If Kenny had gone in the summer a lot of the irate posters of today probably would not have been too bothered IMHO. Kenny's good form this season,the timing, the possible destination Club and our current predicament all go to make todays possible move all the harder to stomach. Nowt we can do. As above lets see what the whole day has in store for us before we head for Kessock/Erskine Bridges or similar high jumping venue.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

class of 76-77 Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Gutted to say the least, McLean was the one genuine quality player we had that could find the net and actually make us play a bit. I fear we won't spend any of the money banked on a replacement as it's far too late with the window shut tonight. Slightly surprised that he didn't go down south but good luck to him he's been a great servant to us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlucifer Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 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! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloomsbury Bud Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I'll be disappointed to see him leave. If the release clause has been met there's nothing the club can do, but try to negotiate sell ons, if possible. I've seen better (not many though) players leave - and the sun still came up the next day. I doubt Kenny would've still been at Saints, without us agreeing to the release clause. 400k is a decent price, with a sell on it should prove to be more, Aberdeen is more likely to command a strong fee when the inevitable move south comes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxbar_bud Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Douglas MacNeil on Twitter saying Kenny doesn't have a release clause. He also says he would guess the fee to be 200-250k. I would be surprised on both points tbh but he's generally pretty spot on with saints info 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire Saints Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I would be stunned if the fee was anywhere near 400k given who the buying club are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mearns Saint Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Only thing that could salvage this day by selling Mclean would be brining back Isma. All else is sh#t!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
