Darragh MacAnthony critical of St Johnstone

Chairman Darragh MacAnthony hits back at criticism aimed at Peterborough United by St Johnstone.

Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony has responded to criticism that his club have received from St Johnstone regarding their pursuit of Stevie May.

League One outfit Peterborough have had numerous offers for the 20-year-old rejected this summer, with Saints manager Tommy Wright critical of their pursuit.

However, in a series of posts on Twitter, MacAnthony has provided his take on the situation.

"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: As revealed by him, yes we put bids in for said player," he wrote.

"They rejected them, sent us their terms, we met all terms bar how they want money paid. They want it all in this budget year. We never do our business that way as we have told them and have % rules etc to work within.

"Posh will not be changing final offer made last week & no amount of press articles will make a difference. 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."

The Scotland Under-21 international has risen through the ranks at McDiarmid Park.
