Saints reach agreement over Davis transfer

Saints reach agreement over Davis transfer
Saints have reached an agreement with Rangers over the transfer of midfielder Steven Davis, the club have announced.
The 27-year-old left the Glasgow giants earlier this summer, before signing a three-year deal at St Mary's.
Davis had claimed he was a free agent following the news that 'oldco' Rangers had been consigned to liquidation.
However, that was disputed by 'newco' chief executive Charles Green, who had bought the club's assets.
Because of his stance, the Scottish FA were unable to issue an international transfer certificate for Davis, as well as a number of his former teammates who found themselves in similar positions.
But Saints have now reached a compensation agreement with Rangers, allowing the transfer to be officially completed immediately, without the need to proceed with an application to world governing body FIFA for temporary clearance.
The club have also revealed that, as a result of the deal, Davis' contract will now run for an extra season, until 2016.

Gradually the forward motion of the club is once more gaining momentum.
The team being assembled is becoming a potential Prem top 10.
NC and his back room staff are getting the contracts sorted slowly and efficiently.
This is allowing NA to do his thing with the team.
Great times ahead!

Apart from Rangers didn't "hit hard times". They cheated for years and got caught. Wee bit different.
Your Liverpool...oops sorry.... Saints team just got conned big time. Maybe your "tough" Chairman was taking in by the threats of social unrest if Rangers weren't given special treatment ?
Fortunately the Scottish football fan is made of sterner stuff and have told them where to go. ( i.e. Bechin, Peterhead.....)
But thank you silly wee Saints for your kind contribution to Scottish football. Maybe you could do the same to your south coast neighbours.........

That's a scandal. Here's me thinking Celtic won the League by 20 points. Better ask the SPL to re-calculate eh ?
And thank you for making me realise that all the talent is heading south. I thought we had held on to Hooper but obviously not. Silly Wee Saints have got a good one there.

And to get him for 800k is a steal! Maybe we could have held out and got him for free, but I would much prefer paying out a small fee (and this is small by our new standards) and give him the chance to bed in properly before the new season starts - want to bet, anyone, that the niggling little injury that was stopping him playing in the friendlies clears up miraculously now? So, word to the Scot guy, we spent 800k because it suited us to, and we can afford it, so well done us!
And final point - not long ago, this forum was crowded with people saying that we were headed for disaster because we weren't buying anyone, and calling anyone who said "trust NC/NA" fools; even calling for NA's head! Surely you could have the decency to now come back and admit that - as wiser heads commented - we have a management team who have proved that they can do the business and deliver the goods, and who have earnt the right to have us sit back and trust them.
I have bet on Saints to be top 10 this season & to be the highest promoted club becuase I believe we are going to do great things. Oh, I also bet on the skates to be relegated hee hee :-)

I am pleased with this outcome, not only because we have gained a good player. But we have been seen to act properly and with integrity.
Would love to see Jermain Lens come 'rumour' is though the club are looking for more than the 5m paid for him.
We need a left sided CB someone in the mould of Svensson would be fantastic.

how did we get mugged ?
we signed an established international
footballer for a nominal fee.less than a million for a very good midfielder is good business in my book.and if it went to tribunal we may have had to pay a fee anyway.so we get a decent player for a small fee and rangers get a few quid to help them survive, win win situation. and the player can now get down to playing for the mighty saints.

I think our bosses have been well pleased with what they have seen from Steve so far in training. Seeing they would have originally had to shell out 1.6m, then 800k seems a fair compromise for both sides.
Saves a lot of inconvenience and costs for both sides as well.

The only time anyone outside of scotland ever watches the SPL is to watch Rangers v Celtic. Their weak league will probably collapse or become even more tedious than it was already.

Complacency could be our undoing so please can we give some urgent focus to this priority.
very soon the bestest fans in england are going to have saturdays off, i have been in contact with the womans institute who have agreed to incorporate the blue few into their groups with the intention of giving them occupational therapy which i think is a good idea,
now the problem is the W.I. are worried about the aggressive nature of the average "SKUNT" and are insisting that they are castrated at the outset,so the appeal is for 2 house bricks and volunteers to do the honours apparently the expected numbers for this procedure is the same as their pack the park campaign around 20
Even at a bolllock a go that's only 40 winners.

now i realize that the saints cannot drop everything and go and play them .so it's up to us supporters to do it.
now we need to be fair and as the blue few are actually few we need to operate a handicap system.
so a squad of 17 should be ok
made up of
8 players over 50
4 female players
2 under 12
1 ex pro (not the derby rd version)
1 disabled (being the year of the paralympics)
1 blind supporter
i know this will still give us the advantage but i can't see how we can get it anymore even.

When they got beat by Gibraltar they gave a trial to one of the players !
Turns out he was available to them for some time but no one would admit to ever having seen or heard of him, till he turned up playing for a bunch of part-timers who only practice once a week.
Does anyone want to run the risk of being singled out as being "good" enough for Poopey?

Not just because Rangers are my second team, but it shows a touch of class.
It also puts to bed some of nastier comments about Cortese, although I am certain that the people who comment against him will consider this to be an oppurtunity to say even worse things!
