Great question. The cynic in me says no. They have had 10 months already but for the moment I'll take on board what StAndrew7 and temporarily give them the benefit of the doubt.

Nice one and great reply. Totally no issue with good thought provoking posts that. If we can get to see the Well Society, stating a plan and then actioning that agreed plan. I would say it would probably be 90 per cent plus that would back them for the future. Les did treat the WS as a soft loan and therefore at this stage the board is ran by the minority rather than the majority. If we are discussing change then that needs to be first. As I've said over and over I compare what we have as a society to what Hearts have as a society. They are ran by 8 volunteers but initially this was 5. Perhaps due to circumstances but they are light years ahead of us. Simply put, volunteers or not, I think we as the fans need a plan at this juncture to put the thoughts of Barmack away. I struggle to vote for a nothing plan. They need to get their vision out prior to rejecting this deal. The supporters deserve to choose a path with informed decisons. Million per cent we need a specialist accountancy firm on any DD should it get that far. I went through that process when selling our company. It wasn't exactly cheap though!

Great - football stuff! Welcome to the club - I think now we can field a team that makes a little sense for game 1. Oxbourgh O’Donnell Casey Balmer McGinn Blaney Davor Miller Paton Nicholson Bair Halliday Tierney Ebiye X X X X

Again to play devil's advocate we are going against the guy with a plan and favouring the Society who have no plans. It's all very well saying it's plain to see there are commercial deals we can do without Barmack but who is going to take us to them? We as the Well Society do not have a controlling interest in the boardroom. Start there. Put a plan to the supporters. Build a frigging website. The Well Society are hopeless bowling club personas leading us downhill towards the Championship. Solve that and then it is much simpler to tell an ambitious man trying to take us forward but at a pittance, that we do not need him (not his money).

That's 9 months and counting. Any chance of a decent website that covers off firstly what the Well Society are all about. https://www.foundationofhearts.org/

It's a bit like being on Dragons Den. We've pitched and we've got an offer. Only one of the dragons is interested. Do we work with the guy who can possibly take us to a higher level or go with the status quo? It's a punt but I'm in favour of going into the unknown. It will either go very very well or flop to a horrendous degree. The Well Society are going nowhere fast, but they have time to convince me otherwise. I'm interested in where they could take us. Maybe that website like Hearts have would be a good start.

The problem with O'Donnell is that he has momentary brain farts which does cost us goals. Mugabi watches the play around him too much. Blaney and McGinn have less errors in them. Casey certainly has a brain fart in him but does more good than bad. I think who would you replace him as a specific is not the correct question, especially when we are in for a Dundalk right back that you would be lucky if anyone has ever seen ever. The ideal general though is I would replace him in the starting line up with a younger pacier wing back, like Brodie Spencer. I'm ok with signing him as part of the squad but having had Johnston and Spencer is easy to see how he can be displaced and used as back up. Mugabi should go.

SOD has conceded 3 penalties in the last 10 games. This is one of the reasons he gets singled out. He is one of the major causes of our shaky defence. Him and Mugabi.

I think from this poll - as it was me that was arguing the point with you - that we both take something away. Yes you are correct it was a majority. Was much more in line with the 50/50 I was talking about in terms of a split. I think if there was a middle option it would have won comfortably. But it was more challenging to pick yes or no. Well done on the poll - what's next?!

Yes! You ran with my suggestion! Tough call for me as it’s a bit more grey than that. Some things yes some things no. But I suppose I’ll have to pick one!

Agreed. Self Evident there is a division just now on how people see things. There is probably no majority. So there is no "most of us" Maybe we should do a poll!

Alternative theory is that it was a Mugabi send off whereas SOD will be here next season. Same with substitute Butcher. Eye Bleeding Football is a myth. Third top scorers in league. Plenty of ballers in the team. It was worse with Alexander. Cheap stupid goals are the issue. Craigan pointed out they were repetitive and got to agree. Controversially I wouldn't resign SOD or McGinn.

Ahem. Mr Wellfan. I told you your pantwetting wouldn't come to fruition. Maybe sit up and pay attention. "Sanctimonious pricks" as referred to by you which the mods should have clamped down on. Takes one to know one. Enjoy the 5-1 victory.

That's a decent and frustrating point of this season. It was interesting to watch the analysis of getting the best out of Bair. We will never ever get to see the follow your man at corners clips on the socials!

This is the bang on the money in every detail.

This budget does not match the recent P and L's I suspect now that we are setting a proper budget and Kettlewell has less for the playing squad.

I agree, if it's truly fan ownership and the Well Society has controlling interest. (Which is now ceased at Companies House, anyone else notice that?) Then we should appoint the board. Not 2/5 board members. The fan ownership simply isn't real. It's a funding mechanism for the club with no real say.

Two cup finals and the sale of David Turnbull to thank. Neither of those events look likely soon unless they can convince Lennon to sign an extended contract.

But 1. We don't run at a profit.

We've lost 2.65 million in the last 2 accounting periods. With a third mill loss to come.

We've blown all the money we made since the accounts posted 2021. That's the boards fault though not the society's

Leaving out those successful loan signings that have played for large parts of the season suits the Steelboy agenda. Those players still had to be sourced and recruited even though they are not permanent signings. There is a lot of duff at the club as there is across the whole of the SPL. If Steelboy is saying operating with quality not quantity then it is definitely the right way to go. 20 man squad with the youngsters being chucked in when the inevitable injuries come in.

He is one of our top paid players.

He's actually been atrocious. All he's done is pass "clever balls" direct to the opposition.

Excellent stuff that be a real good addition
