You’re not married then?

This lad may come in handy if we have to play any midweek games on a nightingale force winds ok am done!

That’s hard to swallow

I’ve never been on P&B but I may have to go take a look

Probably many different paths revamp the current proposal to an acceptable investment option for both parties above plus revamped WS option Kill the Barmack option and proceed with revamped WS option continue as is while still searching for additional investmen thats just the financial side, not sure where we are or where we are going with regards to WS and MFC boards. my head hurts reading all this stuff and I haven’t even been close to looking on P&B 🥴

I think we need a supporter to win the powerball or megamillions. I’m trying!

Agree, the current proposal doesn’t sound like what we are looking for.

For me it means having a bit more financial security. Perhaps able to hold onto better players for longer. Not having to sell players to survive. As you mention the chances of us getting a real investor to bring in life changing amounts of cash is pretty slim, if at all. However, if we can at least some forward steps with continuous improvement then we can achieve progress slowly. However, as you also mentioned whatever the finances are, we also need the management and players to produce the goods on the park. So while extra cash doesn’t guarantee that, it does give you a better chance of success in being able to attract and hold onto better players, coaches and staff.

I don’t pretend to fully understand the pros and cons of the offer and any alternative option from the WS but it seems fundamentally wrong that part of this appears to have the WS dumping all their money into the club and ending up with a smaller share of the club. My understanding (could be wrong) is that this money is for “emergency” situations? I would have thought that any investor would be expected to invest their money by buying shares, be that existing or new shares issued? Or is he saying I am putting in 2 million for this percentage of shares which means share price is equivalent to X pounds per share. So you (WS) need to put in money so your shares are worth same as mine? And in doing that the WS now end up with a Lower percentage of shares but with more money invested in the club? My perception might be way off but I do believe he should be presenting an investment proposition based on his money and not co opting WS into investing at the same time. I’m also not clear on any specific goals for the club and for his personal gain and how they plan to achieve those goals. I think it’s ok for him to expect a financial gain for any investment but his personal gain expectations should be made clear and should not be detrimental to the benefit of the club. Survival and growth of the club has to be priority number 1 and there should be clear understanding on that with contractual stipulations in place and legally binding to ensure MFC do not get shafted

I’m sure I’ve read several times that the WS were working on an alternate proposal or at least a proposal to increase revenue. So seems strange that 3 of the WS board have now resigned.

I don’t consider 2 million over 6 years as serious money but maybe that’s just me.

That would be good but I think the offer taken by itself is very underwhelming and doesn’t make me want to jump in and accept regardless of WS having a plan or not. It was mentioned early on that there were several interested parties so I hope this one is not the pick of the bunch.

I hope Theo gets a game tonight and performs well. Either boosts his confidence for playing with us or gives a wee bit more bargaining power.

Well done to Kelly for that!

I quite enjoy some of the old random posts so while it was nice of you to speak for everyone, I’ll have to continue enjoying the old random posts but your last paragraph I’ll agree with so I can enjoy both.

As in most things there’s pros and cons. How much money is worth risking on getting Bair? If St Pauli wait to confirm he’s the real deal then at that point you now have other teams interested and his price may go beyond what StPauli can afford and so they don’t get him. So how do Motherwell figure out how much St Pauli are willing to risk? Seems like you’d have to start from the high end so why not ask for 3M, at least to start with? 1M + a decent center half?

Theo Brer? thought I do my world famous Grizzly impersonation!

Yep

Did Joe Wark score a hat trick against them one year? I seem to recall a game at Fir park and we were behind with about 15 mins to go and then scored 4 goals. I know Joe scored at least one but I think 3 ?

I refer my honorable friend to my previous reply. The laughing emoji was intended to indicate it was a joke

We need details, why?? 😂

If he plays well I’ll be happy if he doesn’t I’ll be disappointed. Like every other player on our team.

But the question is….. why does he not show up on official list of players and their status? maybe the person typing the list got to Obika but then incurred a mysterious wrist injury?

Should have been a midfielder 🤣
