Magic Monkey Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) Odd timing, but his contract has been terminated. http://www.saintmirren.net/pages/?p=42449 In full: It has been confirmed this afternoon that Marc McAusland’s contract with the club has been terminated by mutual consent. A local boy and a Saints fan, Marc came through the youth ranks at St Mirren going on to make his first team debut in a SPL match against Gretna on 29th March 2008. At the end of season 2008/09 Marc left Saints to join Queen of the South but a year later he was one of Danny Lennon’s first signings for St Mirren as he brought the central defender back to Paisley. Also capped at Under-21 level for Scotland, Marc was part of the League Cup winning side from season 2012/13. Marc leaves the club having made 186 appearances in the black and white stripes, scoring 6 goals in the process. All at St Mirren Football club would like to thank Marc for his services to the club and to wish him all the best in his future endeavours. Marc McAusland said: “I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at St Mirren FC especially Danny Lennon who brought me back to the Club, this gave me the opportunity to play for the team I have supported all my life. Throughout the past few seasons I have had some great times which culminated in winning the League Cup Final in 2013 which fulfilled a boyhood dream for any Saints fan to lift a national trophy at Hampden. There have also been some disappointments along the way including most of this season which has been difficult for us all. “Having been at the Club for the majority of my life and career I feel it is now an appropriate time to seek a fresh challenge elsewhere and I would like to thank all the supporters who got behind me and my teammates and I hope they will continue to support the Club positively in the future. I wish everyone connected with St Mirren good luck and I’m sure that it won’t be long until the good times will return and I look forward to coming back to support the Club when I can.” Honestly, what the f**k is going on at our club?

ulysses Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Wow, bit of a shock really, and yeah strange timing. Good luck Cheesy. Will never forget the way he celebrated after winning the cup in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
div Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Very strange timing indeed. Even if his injury was so bad it was going to keep him out to the end of the season he would surely just go in the summer. Something has happened there.

gc_SMFC Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I suppose it will make a lot of people happy. Done well for us, without being outstanding. No doubt move on and keep numerous clean sheets against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby_F Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Very strange timing indeed. Even if his injury was so bad it was going to keep him out to the end of the season he would surely just go in the summer. Something has happened there. Definitely something behind this. Thought at first maybe it was related to his dad, and him being removed as part of a takeover, but that doesn't really stack up if you think about it for more than 30 seconds Seems we have indeed given up then. I know the last two performance made it look that way, but I hate the thought that the club have already decided that we're down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Guessing his injury will keep him out for the rest of the campaign so we're letting him go now. If Teale is the one that's made the decision then it makes you wonder if he's being kept on and is allowed to pick and choose who stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Monkey Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I wonder if we're really, seriously, out of cash, and have turned to the only player who gives enough of a shit to agree to cancel his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 He can't sign for till the season ends so speaking as a keyboard warrior (SGTM) I'd have to suggest trouble behind the scenes........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid Calder Saint Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 There is no way that The Board should be allowing Teale to make decisions like this.As a Season Ticket Holder and Shareholder I am truly disgusted with this decision.What the hell is going on here?

FTOF Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) If his contract ends in June, at least we've saved £30K. Edited April 15, 2015 by FTOF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave The Buddie Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Strange timing indeed. I was never his biggest fan from an ability perspective but he always gave his all and will go down as a club legend for the part he played in our league cup win. All the best big man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should save us £20k a week going by posts on here Cheesy away, Genev suspended and I think Goodwin might have crossed the yellow card limit again. Who the hell will be in our defence against Killie?

Lanarkshire_Bud Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 If Teale has agreed to this then it looks like he is getting the job. If not then I expect McAusland Snr to walk shortly as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who the hell will be in our defence against Killie? : Well, if Teale is going to be playing young guys for the rest of the season, it'll probably be something like Williams and Baird at centre half. This is just really strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cambiebud Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Plenty on here will be happy about this, but I have never been one of them. Who is the new Boo boy going to be? Good luck Marc. Hope you get a club soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who the hell will be in our defence against Killie? : He has and will miss the Killie game. Hope Tess is fit. Could be Baird and Williams in central defence or we could go three at the back. Anyway, what do I care, I 'm not going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
