The Ross County fans did warn us about his eye for a player.

Beginning to think there's something going on here behind the scenes. Hope I'm just being paranoid.

I'm like you and suspect you're talking about all the naysayers on X and FB who really don't have a clue about inward investment and have an axe to grind with the WS. An update would be good as I think from memory they said something would be announced last year and with nothing concrete yet forthcoming it just gives these trolls more ammunition and theyre probably the same ones who were dishing out the abuse to Kettlewell ( deserved or not). I've every confidence that our finances are under control.

I know you're talking in general so no offence taken. There's a difference between investment and soft loans. A company or entrepreneur if theyre making enough money will always look to invest somewhere that raises their profile and fits into their ethos as it is effectively written of against tax. I look forward to finding out the progress on this front from the WS in time, I've every confidence that they're on the ball with that. Totally agree that Kettlewell made a total arse of his signings and to end up with the size of squad we have is testament to negligence and I again look forward to seeing what our wage bill is for this season.

Unless we pull a rabbit out the hat in the last 20mins we go into Wednesday night needing a win. Lose that and I fully expect us to finish in the play off spot. If we somehow avoid that, major squad rebuild in the summer required and I just hope the WS have all this inward investment lined up to attract a better quality player otherwise its rinse and repeat next season.

I still have fond memories of the old "Club Call" where that was the only way you could find out what was happening at the club. Till my old man got the phone bill in😬

Notice that not one of the hacks has had the balls to ask him exactky what was allegedly shouted that upset his family so much. Anyway he's history and we move on

More likely our Chairman with his German connections knew about him and sounded him out.

The only whiff of a leak I heard was overhearing a couple of the padded seats club blazer and tie brigade having a conversation outside the entrance about Frail being "definitely away on Monday then"

Quite excited by this mainly because he's different.

3rd time lucky maybe.

Could have been his No 2 And no jobby jokes please.

Someone was saying that Van Gaag was in the stand as well. Listening to the rumours in the pie queue was more exciting than watching the game. I'm past the stage of even caring if I'm honest just scunnered watching dross every week not just Motherwell but the League in general. Unless the new manager has a magic wand I can see us in deep shit.

Rumours in the pie queue is its going to be announced Monday if not before and it's not Ketsbaia or Frail.

He's in Tenerife.

Sorry, Lowe

Shot up to strong favourite with the bookies today not that it means much.

Data only goes so far. It doesn't tell you what a players personality is like and whether or not he would fit in with the existing dressing room or thrive in a different environment. I seem to recall Robinson saying that he didn't just look at stats and looked into a potential players background as well and whether he would fit into his vision before deciding whether to sign him.

Think you need a wee lie doon mate. You're the one trying to push an agenda.

Rumours of another 2 coming in on Monday too.

Just watching some videos of Aberdeen fans after todays game hurling some amount of abuse at Thelin who to his credit came over and applauded them. Same circumstances as us different outcome. Wonder what the media darlings will have to say about that?.

Bang on. We bring in guys nearing the end of their careers with the problems that brings with wear and tear and injuries. Guys from overseas with no experience of the Scottish game and who you havent seen in the flesh who take at least 6 months or longer to acclimatise to their new surroundings. Random loan signings who sometimes work out and sometimes not. I'd like to see us taking a more targeted approach instead of the scattergun one we have now. In saying all that we're probably not alone and maybe its just testament to the lack of quality available on our budget.

As was the Saltire (take from that what you like)

Certainly doesn't appear to have gone down too well amongst the vast majority of fans from what I've been reading online tonight.
