This Sun article doesn't really tell us anything new https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/4354275/motherwell-chris-cadden-new-deal-sweat-fir-park/ WELL FUTURE Motherwell still sweating on whether Chris Cadden will sign new deal at Fir Park By Alan Potts 11 Jun 2019, 22:33 MOTHERWELL are still sweating on whether Chris Cadden will commit his future to the club. The Steelmen have offered the 22-year-old a new long-term deal to stay at Fir Park. 2 Cadden is yet to decide on his futureCredit: Kenny Ramsay - The Sun Glasgow 2 Robinson has offered the winger a new long-term deal at Fir ParkCredit: Kenny Ramsay - The Sun Glasgow However the Scotland international – who has made 139 appearances for the club since breaking into the team six years ago – is believed to be weighing up his options. SunSport understands clubs north and south of the border are keeping tabs on developments with Cadden available on free transfer – but the Steelmen would be due a hefty development fee should he move on. Cadden was a first pick under boss Stephen Robinson, with his form seeing him selected for the Scotland senior side by former gaffer Alex McLeish last summer. A knee injury saw him ruled out for more than four months of last season, reducing him to just 25 top team outings. But he forced his way back into the side in the final weeks of the campaign, replacing Rangers-bound Jake Hastie, as Well finished eighth. With Hastie moving to Ibrox and on loan Gboly Ariyibi returning to Nottingham Forest, Robinson is keen to keep hold of his influential playmaker. Cadden is currently on holiday, leaving club chiefs waiting on his decision.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48559100 Motherwell turn down £2m bid for David Turnbull By Scott Mullen BBC Sport Scotland 8 minutes ago From the sectionMotherwell Sharethis page Motherwell have rejected a £2m offer for midfielder David Turnbull. Both Celtic and Barnsley are understood to have tabled bids for the 19-year-old in the last 24 hours which the Fir Park club have turned down. The club believe the attacking midfielder is worth more with two years remaining on his current deal with a value of £3m being mooted for the academy graduate. Last season Turnbull scored 15 goals and provided six assists. In May Celtic were reported to have been considering a £1.2m fee for the Scotland Under-21 internationalist, an amount Motherwell chief executive Alan Burrows described as "nowhere near" enough to tempt the Scottish Premiership side to part with him. Speaking previously to BBC Scotland, Burrows said: "If anyone is wanting to David Turnbull, the fee would have to be significant. Not only because of his talent, it's to do with the contribution to the team. "It would need to be a figure the club just couldn't refuse, and that's not going to be cheap. I would imagine it will set all sorts of records for this football club."

Think it is the 19th.

https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/celtic-step-up-david-turnbull-16265233 Celtic step-up David Turnbull bid as Motherwell face losing £3million star Neil Lennon faces serious competition from south of the border for the £3million rated star with Southampton and Burnley among those understood to be interested. By Keith Jackson 00:01, 6 JUN 2019UPDATED07:54, 6 JUN 2019 Celtic have stepped up their move for Motherwell prodigy David Turnbull by opening direct talks with the Fir Park club. Record Sport understands Scotland’s champions have lodged an official inquiry with Fir Park chief executive Alan Burrows and asked to be kept informed of any developments surrounding the 19-year-old’s future as a host of English clubs prepare to enter the race. But with Neil Lennon keen to make early moves for Sheffield United full-back George Baldock and Bournemouth striker Lys Mousset, Celtic could attempt to strike a quick deal for Turnbull. It’s believed the Hoops and nine other potential bidders have contacted Burrows who has set Well’s asking price for Turnbull at no less than £3m. Premier League rivals Southampton and Burnley are thought to be among the English clubs circling Scotland’s Young Player of the Year with Brighton and Bristol City also interested. But Celtic are the only Scottish club to have made contact with Burrows resigned to cashing in on the club’s crown jewel. A source said: “There’s so much interest it’s hard to imagine Motherwell are going to be able to hold on to him. A total of nine or 10 clubs have now been told officially what price the club is willing to accept – and, yes, Celtic are one. “Their interest has been formally registered but, at this stage, it has gone no further than that with Celtic or any of the others.” Baldock is believed to be keen on a move to Glasgow but Blades boss Chris Wilder wants the £3m-rated 26-year-old to stay put. And it’s also understood Bournemouth want around £10m for Mousset with reports claiming the club booted out a potential swap deal involving Olivier Ntcham who is a target for both Marseille and Porto. Last night the Cherries insisted they’ve had no contact from Celtic or any other side over Mousset. Meanwhile, the Hoops distanced themselves from reports linking them with a move for Phil Jagielka.

Stjarnan away?

Apparently Sevco and Celtic fans will also be barred from the Cooper Suite.

My mate who has a season ticket in the POD Stand was sent this earlier today: Dear Graeme , I write to you today to notify you of a policy change within the Phil O’Donnell Stand, where your season ticket is located. You will have noticed a significant increase in the number of visiting supporters housed in the north section of the stand during the 2018/2019 season. We often segregate the Phil O’Donnell Stand in this way for logistical reasons and to aid the maintenance team in terms of cleaning and repairs after the match. It also modestly reduces the requirement for gate checkers and safety stewards. However, we are aware that this decision by the club often raises more problems than it produces benefits. In light of that, I recently asked the club’s safety and facilities manager to complete an updated risk assessment, specifically on that section of the ground. I also sought feedback from supporters via the Well Society board. It is clear that any additional upside to having visiting supporters in the Phil O’Donnell Stand, either logistically or financially, is outweighed by the increased safety and security concerns it could and sometimes does cause. In particular, the assessment highlighted potential issues around entry and egress to the stand itself, access to the food kiosk and the use of the toilet facilities, all of which we are unable to properly segregate. In addition and in reference to those particular concerns, it is also evident from the feedback received from supporters that the housing of travelling fans within the Phil O’Donnell Stand spoils the overall matchday experience for a lot of fans that attend Fir Park to watch Motherwell at home matches every other week. As a result, and from the beginning of the 2019/20 season, all travelling supporters - regardless of the opposition, the anticipated visiting numbers or the category of the match - will be housed only in the South Stand behind the goal. Yours sincerely, Alan Burrows Chief Executive Motherwell Football Club

Are we going to have those stupid net things over the first few rows of the East Stand again?
