Aye, looking at P&B it does seem to be driven by St Johnston fans. I have have absolute horror memories when we sold Andy Rhodes and George O'Boyle to St Johnstone and we got Roddy Grant and Lindsay Hamilton as part of the deal. Even typing this makes me cringe 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livipar2 Posted December 30, 2023 Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 McCann defo fits the Levein type. Would think we would be looking for 6 figures given he has 3 years left on his deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would add that the Pars paid for a very lengthy rehab after O'Boyle had a long term injury and the wee horror repaid this by taking an offer from the Saints. He then sniffed his career up his nose. Karma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Johnstone offered him a contract and I'm sure we refused to match it. So he left and we then got very little for him at a transfer tribunal. I'm sure he didn't want to leave but couldn't afford to live on the wage offered. That's what i've been told by a former club official. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he said Mr D'Mello tabled the offer and when he knocked it back he was told no-one else would want him.

Hamilton and Grant signed 2 years before then. Was just about to post this. The deal in 1992 was that St. Johnstone got Rhodes and we got Hamilton and Grant. To add to the other posts about O'Boyle's fee. It was decided by tribunal after we wanted 10 times the amount that St. Johnstone were willing to pay. The tribunal judge ruled that we should receive £200,000 as it would be the highest transfer fee ever between two first division clubs at that time. The reason O'Boyle got such a hard time after leaving is because he said something along the lines of "St. Johnstone might be in the First Division but they are a Premier Division club".

kelty_par Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 We will only sign ‘quality’, look at the state of the bench today. Embarrassing and can’t say the fans haven’t backed the club. Time for the club to back the manager and team 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
