Alarming albeit expected that we made a loss despite finishing 2nd and making a wedge from gate receipts against Panathanikos, Levante and Rangers. There is no disputing that the club has been ran well in recent years but the idea of budgeting for top 6 and decent cup runs is an incredibly risky model for a business with no debt facility. Not up to scratch with 'Well Society but I've had huge doubts about its viability from day 1.

Has Ojamaa got the same agent as Law, Hutch and possibly McCall? Or am I making that up?

Probably just a lazy link but we are supposedly interested in Wylde. Pretty sure Hibs were keen on him in January. http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/10457806.Counting_the_cost_of_Gregg_s_Wylde_time/

Quite happy for us to sign a couple of experienced SPL players on the basis that we will take advantage of the under 24 market down south. Harkins would be a good addition as long as we surround him with pace and movement. A move for McCourt would surprise me.

Aberdeen favourites I suspect. Humphrey back up in Scotland. Hopefully not heading to Murray Park this weekend.

McCall quickly replaced Murphy with Higginbotham. Harkins became available later in Jan and McCall was left kicking himself.

Harkins wouldn't surprise me after McCall's comments on sportscene a while back. St Mirren reportedly interested too.

STV claiming that Paul McGowan is likely to sign a new deal with St Mirren.

Delighted for Stevie, well done. Las might get a call...

Was surprised to see Aaron Doran sign a 3 year extension with Inverness. They have done well to keep him and Billy MacKay. Hope we aren't interested in Imrie.

Gordon Kerr from Forgewood, think he left school year before big cup win? IIRC, broke his foot playing for Motherwell Bridge the year all his old team mates were getting signed up by Humphries.

Sounds like the same era when my auld man was playing with Dalziiel.

Pretty sure we'll have pursued replacements for Higdon. Would find it a bit strange if Miller wasn't on our radar.

Would love Miller to sign but a few English clubs are chasing him.

If Ojamaa is happy here and has an eye of making it in England, I'd be offering him a deal to make him highest paid player at the club. If he stays, he will be our main man next season and will have better offers than some Polish mob.

Leven would be a strange one, given that we have signed Lawson. Good passer of the ball with decent technique and vision that woukd replace Law's creativity to an extent. However he has had injury problems since he was a kid at Rangers and would struggle to beat Ross Forbes in a sprint. In saying that, we seem to work wonders with players that have previously toiled with injuries.

Fair do's Desp. It just doesn't sit well with me that within weeks of signing a new contract, he cuts short a family holiday to speak to a League 1 club. His success with Motherwell is beyond all expectation. Given the rebuild that lies ahead however, there is a chance that we could end up being lumbered with a squad that a new manager doesn't fancy. As much as we don't want to see a quality manager depart, a change just now would have been well timed.

Worst case scenario is he stays for now, brings in a squad of players on 2 year contracts and then pisses off in a few months when a decent offer comes in.

As much as he has been terrific for us, I 'd be disappointed to see him stay now. I thought this was a perfect time to cash in and build a new squad with a new manager.

Hateley might finally get a game in midfield now. He'll be a big wage off our budget.

Transfer ban was a sham but on the plus sides, these inflated wages will kill them off quicker.

Can only assume that Law didn't get any decent offers from down south. Very talented player who's career will now stall at a shambles of a club.

He'll only stay if he doesn't get offered the job.

Heart says aye, head says no.

I suspect McGhee may register an interest in taking over from McCall. Hartley has all the credentials but I've never taken to the guy.
