Craig Levein expressed surprise at his sacking from St Johnstone after a string of poor results, despite believing the team's performances were improving. He acknowledged that the club's new owner, Adam Webb, is focused on a different vision and is willing to make changes to achieve it. Levein noted several challenges during his tenure, including five sendings-off and injuries, which hampered their performance. He emphasized that the team was competing well and had the potential to finish in the top six. While he had a good working relationship with Webb, he accepted that poor results ultimately determined his fate. Levein's departure marks the third managerial change for St Johnstone in a year, as they search for a new coach following a disappointing start to the season.
