I had forgotten about Morris; he's another failed Alexander experiment. I wonder if managers still freeze out players, making them feel compelled to ask their agent for a move?!

As this topic is 'ins and outs', the chat has focused on the 'ins.' On the flipside, however, who would we like to ses on the 'outs' lists?

Agreed. Appointing a manager like Alexander has been more disaster than success. He is not greater than the Club, yet he was allowed to take it off on a tangent with his own philosophy and staff. Look how that worked out and the subsequent repercussions. It'll take the Club years to recover from this mistake.

Hubris.

Daws was brought in to support Alexander's philosophy, so he should now be moved on as well. As others have stated, we need a new Head of Recruitment who supports the Club's philosophy, which every manager should align with, including Hammell. It should not be the other way around.

What does a Head of Recruitment do? Here's an example: https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/9432133/what-does-a-head-of-recruitment-do

If true, then good. The Club will be in a much better place once it rids itself of Alexander's legacy (staff and players). A hard reset is required.

A very good question.

Yes, he should be sent to a lower league on loan and then sold ASAP. He's done nothing in 18 months to suggest he'll perform any different for the next 18 months.

We won't win this game. To suggest otherwise would imply you have polished your hat with too much mercury.

Foyle > Daws

Porteous is a classless and rancid ned. I hope he’s sold out of Scotland this window.

Hammy is onto a hiding to nothing so he might as well blood the youth and drop the dross.

His stats suggest he is not good enough for the Championship either. League 1 at best.

Hamstrung and clueless. Without significant investment and changes in the next few weeks, he's finished and so is our stay in the top division. It's that simple.

Shields should be sent out on loan for rest of this season, and then sold ASAP. We need to cut our losses. He's 18 months into a 3-year deal and offers nothing. Blaney should get a chance in defence as Lamie is shit. Not sure about Penney in midfield, mainly as he looks like his head is back in Ipswich. I'd throw caution to the wind and blood the youth, who surely can't be any worse than the dross we currently field.

Same shite, different week. If the Board doesn't spend now and make the required changes, it'll cost them a lot more later once the Club is relegated.

Kevin Nisbet.

So what's the point in Nick Daws?

Gutted for Louis, but I can guarantee that the Club will not learn that lesson.

Yep, please don’t. They already have too many retrograde ideas of their own.

Sherwin Seedorf is the exception to the nominative determinism rule.

Better options than Shields at the very least.

I can cast that aside when my point was specifically about our past form and its relevance to fans’ attitudes and expectations. We have to look after ourselves instead of relying on other teams being worse than us, with or without their bigger/smaller benefactors.

That aside, our average league finishing position across 2004/05 to 2021/22 is 6th place (mostly thanks to Stuart McCall and his players), so it's not unreasonable for fans to expect better than the recent and current shit being served. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/motherwell-fc/platzierungen/verein/987
