  1. Got an email from the society yesterday that said AGM summary would be sent out soon.
  2. You need to request a copy of the annual accounts - they can email a copy. Apart from that, of course, there are regular meetings that you can go along to (if you live near enough), or email topics to be discussed. I guess there is a balance between too much and too little info to be put in the emails, but any time I've had a specific question I've never had a problem getting a fairly prompt response via email.
  3. Domestically, there have been a lot of shenanigans about development fees - basically, nobody pays them in the US. I'm not sure they'd get away with that for an international move, though, as FIFA will have control over that.
  4. According to MFC twitter, Carson started the 2nd half, but no idea if there were any more subs made after that.
  5. I imagine the list of targets was drawn up long before the Turnbull shenanigans. There may have been a few more prospects added, but there should still be plenty to go after. The fact were playing last night shouldn't mean we forget the window is open until 1st September.
  6. Leading us to a top 6 and cup winning run must be worth a couple of million
  7. If he was on loan from us, would he not just be getting his contracted Motherwell wages (as a Motherwell employee).
  8. I'm on your side here - I find it very annoying. I just doubt it's something we can change on our own.
  9. Sounds like "the amateurs" running our club refused to be steamrollered by Celtic after all. (If you hear a chewing sound in the distance, it's the sound of 100 humble pies being devoured).
  10. Employers generally take a harder line on disclosure of confidential information than governments do. People only leak if there is some personal gain. Unless Hammell is looking for a creative way to be sacked, there's not much to be gained there. (Maybe the board has asked him to leak to push down our asking price, right enough. Clever stuff).
  11. Why would Hammell be leaking confidential club info to Tam McManus?
  12. The rumour I heard today was that Turnbull was murdered by ISIS last September and replaced by a Russian spy kid with a dodgy haircut.
  13. It's the buying team that request fees be undisclosed. However, if you are a shareholder (or, I imagine, a 'Well Society member) you can get access to the accounts, and it's pretty easy to work out from that what transfer fees we receive.
  14. An business man from Minnesota who made his money from oil and real-estate and owns the Sioux Falls Canaries baseball team and Sioux Falls Stampede ice hockey team.
  15. When I was watching the play-offs, the commentator mentioned the Utd owners were willing to continue to bankroll a promotion push for another season. Didn't sound like very smart to me, but I suppose they must think the reward is worth the risk.
  16. Unless the installments are £2.5 million now and £2.5 million in January, I agree. If they want to play silly buggers we should be charging them a premium for a player who has had zero injury issues since he was 8 years old.
  17. I thought they boosted the season ticket sales by leaking all the "names" (like Benitez) for the managment vacancy and then giving it to Lennon.
  18. Like I mentioned earlier in this thread, there was a tweet from a Celtic fan I read shortly after Celtic met our price. He said that something fishy must be happening because Celtic never pay the asking price for a Scottish player. Looks like he was spot on.
  19. I don't think they need to scan you in Manchester to test for drugs. He could pee in a cup in Parkhead for that test.
  20. To be fair, employment law in New York City means they can give you marching orders with zero notice if they decide they don't like the socks you're wearing. So much lower risk for employers.
  21. Not a player, but when Butcher and Malpas were together, I had always assumed that Butcher was the blood-and-thunder motivator, and Malpas was the man with the tactics (thanks to his years spent playing under Jim McLean, and his high standard of play at Utd). So when Malpas took over, I expected him to do OK.
  22. It's almost like players need time to adapt to a new level when they make the step up. Arsene Wenger used to say it took a player 6 months to adapt to a different league that played at the same level. Maybe he knows what he's talking about.
