Big Stall

I doubt he knows but if a decent offer comes in then I doubt he will turn it down. He's 25 and probably making less than £2k per week. A championship club will at least treble his wages (possibly/probably more), no brainer. If he does well in his next gig he can get a bigger move and better contract when he's 27, right in his prime. Its going to hurt when he goes, he's built a great relationship with the 'well fans, but really, if theres one guy who deserves a pay day after his service to us in recent times, it's Moult. Would be good if we got a big chunky fee for him though.

Really?

A sore heid this morning CMWellfan??

It could be £50k extra to offer Moulty

I suppose business is business and if we didn't have the money then we can't offer him it. For me its a no brainer. The chances are that even if we offer him and accept a new deal right now on enhanced wages then someone will still come in and buy him, but at least we can demand more. Also, all this stuff about accepting less than £500k. Only the club or those inside will no what financial position we are in. For me, Moults value is whatever the difference to the club in of being in the premier league or the championship. If we get an offer less than that value, I'd be inclined to keep him and lose him in a year for nothing. I would like to think that if the rumours are correct that we have told all the out of contract guys they are moving on, we can at least put an offer to Moult. He might have already had his ear bent but we should at least try. Lets face it, with Lasley looking likely to go, we all need someone to focus our man love on!

Desire from him or from the club to extend?

A Skippy move to the Rangers would be interesting for the comedy of watching both Celtic and Rangers fans wrestle with the implications of it.

Where was this?

If thats true then we can dispel the notion that Robinson was the cheap option. Pretty sure Lasley would have been cheaper and we would have got the two for one player/manager savings.

Its the same in any walk of life. Just because a few people shout loud, doesn't mean they represent the majority opinion.

Im a big lionel fan, but you just can't keep the guy unless him and the manager understand each other and the manager plays him in the right position more often than not. What we have got out of him this season is not good enough. If him and Robinson get their acts together i wouldnt mind seeing him stay, but its a total waste of wages keeping him to play him in set ups and positions that he can't work in.

Pretty sure he's shite

That for me, gets to the crux of what we demand for Moult. Whats the difference to the club in terms of cash between Premier league and Championship? Whatever that figure is, thats the value of Moult. Without him, (or a decent replacement) we go down. Fuck accepting £200k for him because we are scared he leaves for nothing. Staying up, is worth more than £200k to us. Given the lack of quality across the rest of the squad, we need good money in to rebuild, or we keep him for a year.

I must have a screw loose but i watched those extended Alba highlights. I hadnt appreciated at the game itself quite how poor we were. We really have regressed this season. Head tennis, long balls, panic stations. No spark, no creativity.... Next year really does require a massive rebuild. If we carry on the way we are going but lose Moult then we are well and truely fucked!

As a wise man once said, "lets not go sucking each others dicks just yet", but fuck me, what a relief getting that result. Still work to be done but a big effort on Tuesday and we might be there. We can worry about performance and ability later, lets face it, aside from Moult, Skippy when he's not being a dick and Lionel when he shows up, we are seriously lacking. Not a pretty game, some more diabolical mistakes that accies were too pish to punish us for, but we got some luck and it was a belter. What can you say about Moulty? Love the guys effort, ability and application but he celebrated that goal as if he was born a 'well fan. Love the guy, we are going to miss him. Without him, we would have been relegated. Mon the 'well!

Why? Its part of the stadium, its been fully vetted by HSE, it regularly hosts hordes of Rangers and Celtic fans. Why would the police not allow a limited number of pay at the gate 'well fans?

Ruddy, Randolph and even Ripley all better than Cammy Bell!

£500 i heard on the radio tonight

Yaaaaaaaasszz

Sitting in a pub in aviemore, (got a 2hour pass from wife&wean). Went from thinking this was going to be a brilliant afternoon at ten past 3, to bricking it already!

Im pretty sure he has a hat full of assists this season, despite hardly featuring. Did he not come off the bench and provide the cross for Moults equaliser at Accies at New Year?

That would be a kick in the baws. Moulty does love a goal against the accies

Just got a feeling 3-2 to the 'well. Moult to score first. 425/1. *Nope, not been drinking.

I know where you are coming from, but no. We have been in the top league for 30+ years now. Its the accepted norm. In those 30 years yes we have had a few seasons dicing with going down, but not overwhelmingly every season, and if you look more recently, we are more likely to be fighting for the top 3 positions, at least over the last 10 years. Yes, for older punters who have lived through relegations, not going down is good, but the reality is that that is now history, times have moved on. We now have multiple generations who have never seen it, and it certainly is not the norm for Motherwell to be relegated. For these fans, avoiding relegation should not be seen and will not be seen as a good season. Infact, avoiding it by the skin of our teeth is a bad season.

Honestly, maybe a little. We certainy showed more fight and for the first 20 mins easily the better team. Killie came on to a game after that. 2nd half we were a bit more threatening with the changes but we were not humping them. We scratched and scraped our two goals and rode our luck (3 off the woodwork). The worst bit was once we went ahead we retreated to tried and tested/failed tactics of everyone sitting too deep. Invited all the pressure onto us and lucky to escape. The win gives us some breathing space and stops the rot. I am a little worried it papers over cracks. Still, a wins a win. Mon the 'well!!
