I was advocating bringing someone in on a reduced wage, say someone who is retired and no longer needs to draw on expensive costs, perhaps more of a figurehead who can lead the club and doesn't have to be there 5 days a week. Someone who can provide the General Manager with some guidance and be a sounding board, a trusted advisor and who can leverage much needed experience into the Football Club, that's what I suggest.

Thanks for the sly dig on my "wee world"... I am not in favour of the club bleeding the fans dry year on year whilst running at a loss. We should have been concentrating our efforts on securing addition revenue streams from business and supporters in other ways and the lack of business acumen running through the club has been very apparent. The luxury of going to the well society for another hand out is negating the imperative for fresh thinking. Any other business has to be creative when times are hard and doesn't have it's customer creating a financial safety net to bail it out. It's clear we need proper governance and a structured board in place and hopefully we will see decent commercial management put in place to move the club forward. I'd like to see a Chief Executive figure appointed to support Flow in his day to day job and act as a figurehead for the club. We don't have a chairman or chief executive which has been a glaring omission I feel.

Yes I have. Did I say we would go into administration today, now? No as I know there is no-one chapping at the door. However in 3-5 years when we are back on our uppers and the coffers are running dry where exactly are we going to get the fans to keep paying the bills....sorry it's a scheme designed to rip the arse out of us the fans, The whole thing is still built on a wait and see approach if the fans adopt it and so far it's not been a success as The Well Society hasn't raised the money from the fans. Simple.

Indeed, am looking forward to.....fuck all, perhaps relegation? Black and co need to move on, same old same old..yawn.

I enjoyed this part of the official announcement: "During that time the Society Board have committed to growing both membership numbers and funds in order to demonstrate that the supporter base is fully behind the concept of fan ownership." Eh, no the fans aren't, hence the need to borrow more money and build the club on debt with falling crowds. Let's bleed the fans dry as predicted...stupid idea I for one am gutted this is going through. How many times will true fans have to dip into their pockets to keep this daft scheme afloat? We should have been cutting our cloth accordingly, not running at a loss all those years Dempster was in charge. This is the last I'll say on the matter, however I see administration within 3-5 years, perhaps sooner, but in a town like Motherwell with our small supporter base the scheme simply will not work.

Josh Law = Arsehole He is so far out of his depth it's a joke. He is make Joe McLeaod, Shaun McSkimming and Gordon Mair look like world beaters. Please fuck off at the end of the season and give up football.

Yes I do, never a fan of it and don't think it's the way forward, each the their own.

Basically the Well Society is a waste of time and hasn't raised the money it needs, hence the begging letter. Poor decisions behind the scenes have left us with the utter disaster. So think for 1 minute about this.... Well Society gets the shares and then what? Rule by committee and start asking the fans to stump up more money each month/year??? This is Motherwell and last time I looks it wasn't the most affluent fan base. Time we stopped pissing about, got some proper EXPERIENCED business minded people in with commercial acumen to sort this mess out, a decent commercial manager and chief exec type. TBH, administration cannot be far away, either this season or next. Change is a coming...

Forward vision.... With the current BOD, manager, backroom staff its inevitable we will go down.... Take a look around Fir Park when you are next in, it's in a right state, rotting and tired. Sadly we have been on the slide for too long and no amount of bitching of whinging isn't going to change that. SMc has had his hands tied with money and I firmly believe JP leaving has meant we cannot play with half fit players, he kept us going when we needed it, co-incidence he has left and we have had our worst run of injuries and niggles in years?. No direction inside or outside the club and as for the Trust, a stupid idea of asking financially strapped fans to run a football club. We need to accept that we might need to go down and regroup before coming back to attack.

Well said.

Not forgetting John Porteous leaving I think this has had a bigger impact than most things. He ensured we had a team to put out every week, now we are getting crocked and struggling to get back to fitness...

It was the first time I have seen an actual flare at the game. Pathetic Those wee dicks boil my piss. As for the game McCall is a fuckin' tit for picking that side and clearly not changing it when they went down to 10 men. Every time we go out it's the same shite from him. He needs to go balls out the bath in the Scottish Cup and ensure victory by actually playing an attacking team.

Hello all, Yes, I've received a great email from Diane Harvey, the Commercial Manager explaining that it escaped throught the net. No harm done and I'm sure lessons learned. Mon the Well

Hello, I just received a very unprofessional email from Motherwell FC, which didn't even have a title in the email, please see below: "Katie McCrossan The Well Society Motherwell Football Club Fir Park Stadium Firpark Street Motherwell ML1 2QN Tel: 01698 333333 Direct Dial: 01698 338006 Email:wellsociety@motherwellfc.co.uk Web: www.motherwellfc.co.uk Online Web TV Channel:motherwellfc.tv Like us on Facebook facebook.com/MotherwellFC Follow us on Twitter twitter.com/MotherwellFC Hi its paul frew from motherwell fc just to see what you and you work buddies were doing for christmas party nite Come have it with us dates are 6th 12th 13th 19th 20th of december (price is only £29.95 per person )three course meal live band plus a disco to Give me a wee call on 01698333333" I'm all for the club being proactive, but this is shockingly unprofessional. Firstly, the style of the email starts with the footer and then it's not even from Katie McCrossan, but someone called Paul Frew Then we have the lack of capitalisation, spelling....oh dear. It's a sad state of affairs that this email was not proof read before going out into the open. I expect better.

The top man at the club carrying out the media interviews - sums up what a shambles we are in....fan ownership, don't seem likely.

And the rest of the lazy pricks that just fucked that up - sickening. The weather was so bad here they HAD to fuck off to Portugal - wanks very much.

Face it, we are skint BIG TIME. Why do you think Dempster fucked off and left us? Flow in charge of a sinking ship now...

Quite simply one of the best posts I have ever read on here. It's not just McCall but the directors and backroom staff that need a good shake too when it comes to the whole youth system.

Thanks much appreciated.

Does any have a link for a decent stream? Working in Kansas and gutted am gonna miss this one. 1:1 is my prediction. Cheers

You really didn't read Well 4 Europe's post very well. The boy has a point, we have performed poorly and had 3 shots on goal. £60 down he is entitled to his point rather than just a be shot down by someone resorting to name calling. Sad.

Wrong, act like an idiot, get treated like one. They bring shame to my club. Police doing their job as were the stewards.

Baws, another one bites the dust. Let's hope McCall gets some money for wages and we don't keep up with sweetie shop mentality...

Working over in Belfast today my flight lands in Embra at 18:15, gonna be a mad M8 dash tonight, cannot wait to get in about these Kebab munchers!! On the 'Well

None at all, just hype from the Mould Firm loving meeja.
