Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony has criticised St Johnstone for their handling of the Posh's pursuit of Stevie May.
MacAnthony confirmed that his club made a bid for the 20-year old striker and suggested that the Saints had agreed terms except for the manner in which they would pay the English club.
MacAnthony took to Twitter to react to comments made by St Johnstone boss Tommy Wright who felt May should stay in Perth which would allow a 'bigger club' to look at him.
But the Posh chief was negative in his comments towards Wright and the Saints, saying his club would not bow to perceived media pressure to pay for a player outside their terms.
Jeez like how many press articles has the St Johnstone manager done about S May & us. Enough already as its getting silly. So some facts - — Darragh MacAnthony (@DMAC102) August 21, 2013
As revealed by him, yes we put bids in for said player. They rejected them, sent us their terms, we met all terms bar how they want money - — Darragh MacAnthony (@DMAC102) August 21, 2013
Paid. They want it all in this budget year. We never do our business that way as we have told them & have % rules etc to work within. - — Darragh MacAnthony (@DMAC102) August 21, 2013
Posh will not be changing final offer made last week & no amount of press articles will make a difference. — Darragh MacAnthony (@DMAC102) August 21, 2013
And as for the 'No disrespect,he might get a bigger club looking at him' comment, I hope that works out for them & their club. — Darragh MacAnthony (@DMAC102) August 21, 2013
