As I've said before, the club is in the hands of amateurs who have no idea how to run a football club, they are culpable for signing off on the shite recruitment in recent seasons, no CEO etc etc. A complete root and branch overhaul is required re the operating model and future direction of the club, for me it's the only way we are going to remain as a premiership club.

As a non well society member are we really a fan owned club ie does the well society control a majority shareholding, as if they don't then any opinions, recommendations, ideas etc might be listened to but equally might be ignored. I get the impression that the current board members might well be successful business people in their own fields but are amateurs at running a football club, so does the WS have any real influence regarding current or future club policy etc.

Not so sure about Gordon, but I have no doubts that Steve Clarke will be trawling the leagues of world looking for a keeper whose Great Granny or Grandpa ate some shortbread once to make them Scottish, as I can't see Kelly making the squad if his current form keeps up.

Totally agree re Kelly but last night was not a one off bad performance from him he's been poor for months and SK must see that but Oxborough has not been given a chance, to show what he can do, and for me that's a sign of a manager who's out of ideas.1

1I was all for giving SK a chance but this run we are on is brutal and he's showing no signs of getting us out of it, the players don't look interested to be honest, has he lost the dressing room I don't know but the team has that look about it. If SK does go then whoever comes in is stuck with the same dross, we could have Guardiola, in charge and he would never turn the likes of Bair, Obika, Shaw, etc into decent players. For me the whole club needs a reset from top to bottom to build a decent stable team and club Iinstead of the rebuild every season we seem to have With the quality deteriorating every time.

Why? Because he is an obnoxious wee ginger prick that would cause an argument in an empty house, we don't need that or any of the ugly sisters baggage that comes with him.

That's like saying I won't turn the heating on in the house, I'll just wrap a blanket round me, it's not the money, the blanket does the job. Given the rise in fuel costs etc It's not being used to save money no other reason, it's been at least -5 or -6 degrees below in recent nights, luckily the covers done the job but not using the underground heating is another possible indicator of just how skint the club is, it's not a good sign.

That was my view from the outset and its not changed, yes the fans should be represented on the board etc, but fan ownership on an average crowd of 3.5 to 5k is not a workable / sustainable option the club still needs outside investment from a company, individual or both, so unless the current operating model changes I see the club being financially constrained and living from hand to mouth for a few years to come.

I was in favour of VAR when it was brought in, but not now its ruining the game, even the best version on show in European and English premiership games is becoming a nonsense, what chance do we have in Scotland with the pound shop version and amateurs running it. It was a nice experiment but for me it needs dumped and control given back to the onfield officials.

There were 700 Dundee fans there yesterday so we never lost 500 supporters , 3.5k well fans at a home game is about average for us.

We all need to keep the faith all this talk of sacking managers is nonsense we are unbeaten in our last 2 games, and another 2 or 3 wins and we will be challenging for a Euro spot, 15 games played still 23 to go so no need for any pant wetting just yet.

Mugabi for me, solid all game and took his goal well

Just back in, we were feckin brutal today, midfield too deep and all over the place, a great start and goal from Biereth then we sat back deep and made them look like Man City ffs the way we allowed them to pass the ball about. Kelly needs dropped, stood on his line doing feck all and watched a 5' midget beat him with a header, Obika is also hopeless nothing sticks to him no threat at all. Us scoring 3 goals shows how bad Dundee were, they were there for the taking and we fecked it up, we never pressed high enough and made it easy for them. That said we gained a point that never looked likely after we went down to 10 so it's not all bad but we really need a win badly as 4 points from 33 is relegation form.

Bowman got a hard time at Fir park I thought he was a great player, just the type we need in the team now.

Their army of analysts no doubt mulled it over for 10 seconds and then the computer said nah.

Given the alleged state of the clubs finances its good to see we are exploring every available revenue stream.

This, some reality to the debate at last a great post.

And ideally all done within a budget that does not put us on the road to administration again. As for the comparison with an EPL club they all operate in a different universe to us so it a nonsense exercise.

Have a day off ffs it's boring now

Nah no need for bragging rights its a local Derby that's never existed for nearly 40 years, theve never been good enough to be in the same league as us, same applies to Albion rovers and I suspect that now Accies are lingering in league 1 it will be a good few years before we play them, barring a cup draw etc. So we are still the pride of Lanarkshire with no local competition.

That will do nicely

Not been able to say this in recent weeks 😀

We never got robbed the last time , our own shit defending ie letting crosses come in and not picking up runners in the 97th min cost us. A bit of payback today though

"Extreme response" ok then 🤦‍♂️but its Another dodged answer from you but if that's your opinion we'll leave it at that.

He never mentioned " balanced middle ground " you did so how do you see that applied to Motherwell, what would you have us do differently? Signing better quality players we can't afford is not an answer, you don't get an Erling Haaland on the Theo Bair money we pay.
