I'd be interested to know what stats suggest he is not a footballer.

Yeah, I know you think certain players aren't fit to play professional football. How's that going?

Fair point, although 2 years can make a big difference at that stage, as can the club you're with. Doesn't always work this way, but I'm sure we'd expect more from an 18 year old coming from Arsenal than an 18 year old with Alloa. Experience wise, the Eredivisie is clearly of a higher standard than the Canadian Premier League. The boy might turn out to be a great player, but if Kettlewell wants signings who will make a difference between now and May and our finances are as stretched as we're repeatedly told, I doubt he should be looking at someone who has been playing professional football for 6 months at that level. We've enough kids of our own with skelfs in their arses.

I agree about potential investors. Anyone looking to make a profit from a club our size is either bonkers or worth the watching. I suppose bonkers would be the preferred option, so maybe that's who this video is aimed at.

You don't use social media to attract potential investors?

A photo of him holding 3 eggs on Twitter. Seriously.

He was on trial with Luton's development squad, so he's obviously rated, but we really don't need to bring in a teenager who has played around 20 games to help keep us up.

Robbie Mahon away to Dundalk on a permanent deal.

He commented on one of the Facebook posts. Thought it might be another Les Hutchison, but seems to be him alright. "I love it ….. well done guys 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 A more positive, light hearted approach may create some interest. The old negative attitude “it’s going to fail …. It will never work” …… hasn’t worked so far. Good to see a more positive approach. ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️ COYW"

Anyone know nything about Max Willoughby? Apparently he's a Motherwell defender who Rangers, Bournemouth and Norwich are after, but to be honest, I've never heard of him.

How do you advertise and seek out investors on social media without making it glaringly obvious you're looking for money?

It appears to have caught the eye of Les Hutchison and elicited a favourable response, so I suppose you never know who else might like it. As others have said, at least it's getting noticed.

Fair point, but if giving new contracts to shite players is what he meant by rewarding failure, we are absolutely not the only club who do that.

Ok. Leaving the naming of stands aside, who were you saying has been rewarded for failure?

I don't think anyone else would describe Hunter, Cooper, O'Donnell or McLean as failures. Although, if no wins in 16 games had been considered a sacking offence, wee Tommy definitely wouldn't have been as successful.

1 win in 16 games might get his name on a stand, never mind a new contract.

If that interview is to be believed, there is no desire at board level to bin Kettlewell. McMahon's here till the end of the season, and even if a new CEO was appointed next week, surely they couldn't be told to sit on their hands and do absolutely nothing about his contract? That means the obvious move, which some folk won't like one little bit, is to extend it.

I'll take a punt on Dougie Arnott, since he worked in the bar when Dempster was there, seemed to jack it pretty sharpish and I don't remember seeing him doing anything at Fir Park for a while. And now somebody'll point out they were sitting next to him at the Livi game.

Craig or Charlie?

I wondered if it was him, but he's definitely set foot in Fir Park as part of his media job.

Who's alleging he's going to Hibs?

Who is that?

Funnily enough, he failed a school English exam because he was in Manchester watching Rangers. Which explains a lot.

I was fine with ex Old Firm players coming here, and the majority of them got on with the job and did us a right good turn. But some of them just can't shut up about 'When I played for....' and those have generally been the ones who bring us nothing. For a guy still plying his trade as a professional footballer in the Scottish Premiership, Halliday's videos about the Ranjurs are - as he would say - fuckin em-fuckin-barassing fuckin.
