Well Well

Nothing like taking it too far...guys are only expressing their opinions.

I am not criticising Sutton, but he had his time here, He chose to move on, end off. Lets look for players we can sell on and get the club some cash in the future.

100% agree. Sutton had his time here, done ok, however, I agree we need to look elsewhere.

Nothing else to talk about as no sign of any players yet, ye cannae blame people for gap filling meantime..

Maybe the club are listening and learning lessons..too much for some on here to believe but that would be a welcome change. Yes, we could get stung with a crap player or someone out injured long term, however it may give us some room for maneuver when it comes to selling someone on and the club don't need to accept the usual paltry offers. Would be nice if true, I shall await the official announcement with interest. Really excited and nervous about who we will bring in and how we will set up next season. Gonna be a busy few weeks at the 'Ark.

Faddy wears adidas boots am sure..!!

You need your head examined mate if you check the thread you will find it is you who has responded to everything I have posted ya maniac..

I was having a bit of light banter to calm things down, If anyone needs to wind their neck in its you.Stop taking every comment as an insult

He was quoting me

Do we have any players left to sponsor..??

100% agree..

and thats the whole point Shaka, we can only afford the size of squad and wages we can sustain through our income and for a club our size and fanbase thats not a hell of a lot of money. SO we are cutting our cloth accordingly to survive. We have had a great last few years but we cannot afford to pay for the good quality players we have seen the last few years and no doubt we will be a bottom six club as basically that's the level that we can sustain. It's realistic and no bad thing. My main concern is that with so many first team players leaving that even if we replace every single player the heart of the team has gone and the squad mentality and team spirit will have to be rebuilt very quickly.

Would suprise me if anyone is signed before the Gaffer is back from International duties at the weekend. Monday at the earliest I would imagine, unless he has left a list of people he wants. It will basically be down to the club and the agents to wrangle about wages etc and not something Stuart McCall would have much control over. An exciting close season ahead and I pray I am not underwhelmed by the signings. The first was a decent signing in Lawson I hope that continues. Do you think we will sign those similar to what we had in style of play rather than quality..i.e speedsters on the wings or will McCall try something different next season due to the squad limitations?.

I didn't think I criticised anything you said Grew..did I..?? If I did I apologise I was merely trying to lift the perpetual doom and gloom some on here continually spout..I full applaud anyone who has an opinion and they are entitled to it just some on here who don't want me to express mine because it doesn't suit theirs...if that makes sense.

Yep, absolutely Melvin, to think he begged McCall to be given a chance to play and was basically given bus fare as wages, yet he is the only one leaving so far that has got us some cash.

That tickled me..I can just see the team photograph for the new season won't be a who's who but more a who's that. Also can see the free kick wall being used to make up the numbers in the photo.

my turn eh.?? I think I made 5 points in relation to his post so how more rational do you want ffs. and its a discussion forum so its up to me what I decide to leave out if that's alright with you

That sounds more like it to me.

:laugh:

I rest my case..

What the fuck is it with you folk, 'what return are we getting' 'paying for faddy from their own pocket isn't impressive' 'knocking back six figure offers' 1. The return we get is putting a succesful team on the park, not getting into debt via banks and having financially prudent people on the board, ensuring the survuval of the club. I think the 'return' since administration has been pretty bloody good. 2. The signing of Faddy I feel was crucial in us gaining momentum at a sticky point in the league and secured 2nd place. Those people paid out a fair whack of their own money for NO RETURN, are they moaning online about a 'return'..? 3. The bid for Ojamma was quite rightly kicked out as he is under contract and did not meet the valuation of the player by the club. Almost universally on here the bid was regarded as a joke. It is very easy for clubs to make a low bid but with big add ons in the full knowledge they will never pay the add ons as they either sell the player before the add ons kick in or just don't play them. 4. 'Using other people money to fund the losses', I think you will find that everyone who invested in the club via the society were not forced to part with their cash and could make their own decisions. The way you paint it they are running up horrendous losses. If the 2nd place cash was still in place the club would have made a tidy profit. 5. I would rather the club which as far as I can see are being as open as possible about what they are doing with the money, which at this point is bugger all and its gathering interest in an account. So the society hasn't funded any losses. They are damned if the provide information and damned when they don't. The club cannot win in your eyes. Every single year your criticise the players we sign, the board for releasing information or not releasing information, How the club runs itself, How we sell players and how much we should accept. You should try for a seat on the board but I can almost guarantee that if you were in charge the club we would be defunct within a year. Give the club a break, Also the idea that a person voted onto the board by well society members is a stooge is a complete and utter joke. IF you were that concerned why didn't you put yourself forward. No, because its easier to criticise those standing up and making a difference than actually going out and trying to do it yourself. I despair at some of you..The most pessimistic, paranoid and self defeatist people I have the misfortune to listen too. If its not doom and gloom then its conspiracy. Get a life. The club is doing pretty well for a club its size and they are looking to us to renew season tickets so lets get it done and look forward to another great season supporting the Well. We have secured a number of current sponsors for another year or so and we are increasing our footprint in the community with all the partnership stuff so we are heading in the right direction.

You are one of those on here who has to moan at everything the club does. Seriously, you accuse the Society of 'giving' away money..?? That money is invested in the club pure and simple. It is still there and hasn't been used, whats the problem. The Society have two board members who can see quite clearly where and how the money will be used. If I could afford more the club would get it because I know they value every penny raised. Get a fucking grip, stop seeing problems when there are none. There are no Craig Whyte characters here and stop making out there are. The club have posted profits recently unless you just want to ignore that to justify your small minded argument. I don't care about someone buying the club anyway, we are doing quite well as it is. I just need to look at Hearts to see what happens when someone owns the club, No Thanks. So No one wants to buy...Brilliant...making a profit, yes we have and will continue to do so, some years we make a loss others we will make a small profit. As long as that profit when its made is invested in the club and not paying off interest on Bank Loans I will much prefer having the club the way it is, run prudently. I suppose your idea of fan ownership is 30 punters from Jack Daniels making the decisions, well lets see how quickly the club lasts then.

No debt and a small loss. No bank loans. As far as I can see the Board have done a great job juggling all the finances. To tell you the truth I am amazed at how well this club is run, the manager we have the position we have held in the league and the amount of European football we have been playing in recent years. Considering the size of the club and its support we have had an amazing run. When we look at the massive upheaval in the league, lack of sponsors for the league, low TV money I think we should be giving the board medals for all they have achieved and think it is pretty unfair on those folk on here who have a dig re how the figures supposedly don't add up. Remember we lost a shit load of money when the figures were readjusted for 2nd placed prize money. When directors pay for players out their own pocket then I will applaud them, this is their own money and they didn't need to do it and they wouldn't have been criticised. Best thing as a support we can do is hear the call for season ticket renewals and those swithering whether to take a season ticket if they haven't had one for a while and continue to pay their season tickets and support the club. I think its not hard to work out that the club will probably base a lot of what they can afford for players contracts on season ticket money each season. So its imperative we renew season tickets asap so we can get the players we need to rebuild the squad. The fans have done brilliantly by raising a phenomenal amount of money through the Well society and I hope it continues to grow. We have 2 directors on the board and I don't see any hidden agenda regarding where that money goes whether it is gifted or used to purchase shares as long as the money goes to the club. Remember, they haven't touched that £150k, it's still in the bank and its ring fenced so I don't see any issues. We are a well run club with astute people running it and well ahead of most clubs in the SPL so I don't see the need for the paranoia and concern on here. I am glad the club keep us informed and we should continue to support that too. So stop being so negative and look forward to another good season supporting the Well. There are steady hands at the helm of the Ark.
