Adam Webb, the owner and chairman of St Johnstone, has announced he is stepping back from his duties after being diagnosed with head and neck cancer. In an open letter, he shared that he has started chemotherapy and radiation but remains optimistic about his prognosis. Webb plans to lead the search for a new manager following Craig Levein's recent sacking before transitioning to a less active role, with CEO Fran Smith stepping in as acting chairman. He expressed gratitude for the support from fans and co-investors, stating he will continue to monitor club activities remotely. Webb hopes to return to his role by December, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the club's progress during his absence. The club is currently facing challenges, sitting 10th in the Scottish Premiership with one win from five matches.
