Andy_P Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 11 hours ago, The African said: Interesting article on McClair. He seems to be a decent guy so good luck to him. Pat " beret and NME" Nevin still sounds like a dick though. He was an obvious talent during his first spell with us. The decision to sell him for £75k to Celtic beggars belief. The people running our club at that point in time were short-sighted, clueless and basically shite. This period was pretty much at the beginning of my consciousness of what was actually happening in the game, and indeed outside of the game, beyond simply getting to annoy people across the country with a Motherwell flag on a six foot bamboo pole but was it not so much the case that around this time the club were really beginning to find themselves in the shit financially and their hands would have been forced with the McClair bid in 1983? It was not so many seasons after that there was talk of part-time football, going bust in fact were it not for reconstruction, and debts running to several hundred thousand pounds. I don't think John Chapman was around the scene at that point of the McClair transfer so I'm not sure if he would be "culpable" but certainly he would be a major player in turning things around.

Good luck to him though. Belgium were excellent last night and he risked his life subbing off big Lukaku when extra time was still possible.

Apart from that he clearly loved his time with the mighty Well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Martinez cheerily waving to some motherwell fans who recognised him at Tannadice several years ago, before an older gent told him he was 'fucking shit', was a great moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
