I’ve stripped your post down to the point I want to reply to as I agree with most of what you’ve said but on this point I’d like to give my view of what we could do. Tony Bloom at Hearts is showing that his model can potentially give him a return via a share of the money made from transfers and as such we should look for a similar type of investor willing to make a similar deal with us with preferably non voting shares like the Hearts deal - probably at a lesser level but still I’d be looking at circa £6M minimum for a maximum 20% shares coming not only from the society but also our private shareholders so between the society and private shareholders we still have 80% holding. A £6M investment matched by say £2 or £3M by the club would give a healthy pot for buying players over the next couple of seasons. With the clubs position on and off the park this is probably the best time to make such a deal. If no such deal is achievable at the moment then I think we should continue with the “organic growth “ that we are currently trying to achieve while continuing to look for a deal.

Loads of their fans at work have been saying he’s going there for the last few weeks. Hard to see half that Celtic team being willing to play Jens style of football and with DD in charge of the club I find it hard to believe he’d get the same freedom to run things as he gets here. In short I don’t think it’s a good move for him.

I’m a ST holder, phoned today and got a ticket for the Hearts game for a friend who’s coming up from Bristol without problems, just gave the guy my ST number and name and he sorted it.

Slim pickings this week but thought Slattery was the pick of a poor bunch.

Watching the game I thought that we had a decent shout - by the standards that have been set against us by the referees and VAR - for a penalty against SOD but it wasn’t even show, never mind discussed on Sportscene.

Hoping for a win but not overly confident. Here’s hoping that I’m worrying about nothing.

Eventually settled on SOD but by heck they’re all making it difficult to choose one.

I’ve been thinking for months that he would leave due to there being no renewal chat going around and have previously mentioned it. I’ve believed for some time that he is intent on moving back down south so I’d be very surprised if he does stay up here. Although he is a great player and will be missed he’s a replaceable player also.

Happy that we’re another 3 points ahead of Hibs but not happy that Hearts won, 2 Hibs players sent off and 2 fucking deflected goals - spawny bastards.

Felt the same mate

Bit of a punt but not a bad shout. Although he’s never really proven himself at Rangers he has shown signs that there’s a player there but I’d think he’d be looking for more money than we could offer but you never know, maybe he’ll be happy with a smaller wage if he gets game time and is coached to improve.

Aye the phrase tainted title will be bandied about by supporters of the two losers no doubt.

MJC - (potentially enjoying) taking one for the team

I suspect what we will be told if it’s even discussed, is that the player on the ground didn’t make much of an effort to head the ball and didn’t move his head much so Welsh was always going to hit him on the head and as such shouldn’t have attempted to hit the ball. Not saying I think that’s correct just what we will be told as I’ve no doubt that they’ve all spent the last day thinking up a solution to their ineptitude and fuck up.

I keep saying this but foreign referees for VAR and an ex player to give context is what’s needed. Also if - as McGarry indicates in his article - Motherwell are being refereed to a different standard than other teams then the person to blame for that is Slattery. I’m not saying that the referees are right but if the article is correct then no cheating, no different standard. Personally I’m not sure it’s all down to the Slattery incident and more down to incompetence.
