There's a few players who have been sold for decent fees that have done nothing with their careers - James Scott going for £1.75 million is the most obvious example..
Equally there's a plethora of guys have we've picked up from the wilderness and sold on for significant money - Kipre & Bair being the two most best examples of that recently.
As much as plenty of people like to complain, Motherwell's player trading over the last decade+ has been a roaring success.
Motherwell in comparison to our peers have received transfer fees they could only dream of.
St Mirren, Dundee & Killie are generally considered to be broadly similar sized clubs yet our numbers are on a completely different level to theirs.
There's probably a separate argument to be made about the gap widening between the OF & the rest and how we'll no doubt never see a team out with those two ever win the league again (or even get close FWIW). But that's a debate for another day.
It's not singling a player out to suggest that a guy that's onto his 5th manager in 5 seasons isn't performing. He gets done constantly defensively and is so poor going forwards.
Is Tam Courts not very Kettlewell-y?
Would be very surprised if it was any of the Davies, Lennon, Naismith (etc) type names that the bookies are chucking about.
I mean, club media are hardly going to be asking him when he's going to hand in his P45. It's the same at every club, I guarantee you if you listen to pretty much any post match interview from a defeat today and the questions will be the near enough same.
It seems pointless to have a go at some wee media guy.
Think there's a bit of confirmation bias going with Balcombe, he had one dodgy moment in the first half that he was lucky to get away with but apart from that I thought he had a decent enough game.
