  1. It has to be seen as a positive appointment. As has been said there are no guarantees with any appointment. He has solid coaching credentials and has had management roles at significant clubs. We should be positive about the fact that he wanted to come to Fir Park. He would not have chosen Motherwell unless he thought it would be good for him as well as the club.
  2. I have been watching the debate over the last few days, and thought now was the time to contribute. - The offer is a bad offer Who pays for less ownership? The resources of the Well Society will be massively reduced. Who on earth is going to continue contributing to well society for less influence? If this deal goes through, in my opinion, there is a good chance well society membership will collapse and it will fail to meet its contribution 'obligations'. - The Board and the Well Society have not acted in an open and transparent way. The Well Society are the owners, yet members had zero influence. Just because the majority of those who voted on the issue of external investment voted yes was not a green light for the board to accept and propose any deal. - Have the Well Society approached Wild Sheep for direct conversation? If not why not? If they are unwilling to have a conversation, then for me that is a big red flag. - Is Wild Sheep 'investing' or purchasing an asset. I think it is the latter. Investment to me would be to make an offer directly to the Well Society (and the club) for 20% of the society's shares(which would go to the club). That way we see real investment and the Society is not bankrupted. - Who controls the board. The Society is the majority shareholder but has no control. That is bizarre. The current offer if accepted, would result in the end of fan ownership as the Well Society would end up as irrelevant and membership would fall. This would result in financial crisis. No doubt some white knight would come in and by the 51% for 50p!!! I accept that additional investment is desirable, but this is not the deal. Shame on those who have come up with this. Come on Erik, post on here, not P&B! Sorry, but this deal is a NO vote for me.
  3. Fantastic News. He really delivered for us last season. His addition improves the whole look of the squad. Just got wait for SK to pull a striker out of the bag !
  4. Are we seriously saying, lets take a few quid for a Scotland squad keeper? If he was to go and the next keeper delivered poor performances, I can imagine the comments about the management and the board. LK is a very good keeper, lets keep him in post! Obviously every player has a price, but to talk about moving LK on is madness,
  5. While I share some of the concerns raised, lets be honest a top six finish is our target. The second half of the sesaon has been far from top six, but we got there and we showed some fight to do it. Let's not start talking about GA and his future. Changing managers every 18 months is a guaranteed recipe for failure and disappointment. I have been a Motherwell fan for a long long time, lets be happy with the final result today............ and yes better football next season please!
  6. As I have said before, we need to hear something from MFC. No one has actually said anything officially. It has been pointed out DT is still a contracted player. An official comment as to what is going on would help people to 'calm down'.

  8. Alan Burrows- However, I think it's important not to blow what could be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to take the club to a different level when it comes to infrastructure projects around the academy and our youth development programme. "However, let's see what happens and then we'll take stock."
  9. The problem is we don't know what the fee is, we don't know if there are sell on clauses, we don't know if there was a clause in DT's contract that forced MFC, we don't know what money will be spent on the team / facilities etc. The animosity is all about lack of transparency. What I ask for is a full statement.
  10. For goodness sake what are our expectations ? Yes we have seen some dire football. Yes the Scottish Cup exit was sh***. But have we not had a pretty good second half to the season. I said it at the beginning of the year be careful what you wish for. MFC have a restricted budget and SR has shown he can work within it. When you are bringing in players from the lower leagues then some are not going to be successful . Lets not waste any more time slagging off the manager. I for one do not wish to see a change.
  11. Let's be careful what we wish for. This season has been a big big letdown both in terms of results and quality of play. Lets face it we are a 'small club' in terms of who we can bring in. The players that have come in this year have not been as successful as the previous year. The time to make decisions on the management is at the end of the season, making a change now would be a huge gamble.
  12. What a fabulous performance. The whole team were outstanding. There is such a positive feeling around the club its great to be a 'Well fan. Had the added pleasure of driving back home on the A90/ A9 watching all the sad, dismal Dons supporters . Living in the NE , it is going to be great going in to work on Monday !
  13. Got my email today. Good News ! Can't wait ! My wee boy is so excited. After my phonecall today I thought the staff were great. Cup Final day cannot come quick enough, lets hope for a repeat of 91
