You do know that signings are usually concluded a few days before we get to hear about it. If we have signed him, there must already be agreement between the clubs and with the player, with only the official international clearance pending, which I image is all but done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellowell Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 I also think it’s good to be kept informed as long as never mentions players involved until officially signed . We know we are still weak in center of defence and midfield so gives fans a lift knowing they are working on recruits hopefully in they positions .

Yassin Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Every other Premiership CEO, frantically refreshing Alan Burrow's Twitter, "haud the bus, Motherwell are hoping to sign at least one before deadline day!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see other CEOs of SPFL clubs doing this... It's called keeping the fans informed and tweeting we are hoping to sign a couple of players before the deadline is hardly revealing the clubs future business plan "Breaking news football club signs players ", get a grip FFS.

Kmac Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 I have to agree, Burrows conflates personal and professional to a degree far beyond that which is acceptable. There’s information posted on podcasts, online interviews etc. that isn’t shared with the wider community and this information flow is limited to those actively seeking - which is totally wrong for a fan owned club whereby any and messaging should be available to all. I posted elsewhere last week about his personal account communication which I found below that standard which should be expected and once again, it has happened. Signing news, views on the club or strategy are not burrows to share, they are the clubs. A CEO position demands that those two things remain fastidiously aligned. 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your whole post. Go for a walk and get some fresh air and cheer the fuck up. Never seen so many negative posts in my life. Give the guy a chance. Everyone knows that sometimes a person clicks at a club see Watt for us. Hasn't even kicked a ball and your calling him drivel.. Absolute nonsense post and constantly looking for something, anything negative to say about the club, Burrows and almost every player. That enough for you?

And many of us disagreed with you then, and appear to disagree with you now! Im well aware that Alan Burrows is CEO of Motherwell. So if he posts news of signings for Motherwell on his personal Twitter account or from the clubs account it really doesnt bother me in the slightest. Im also not on Twitter much so had no idea of this signing until I came on here. So it would appear that he was able to reach me with the news without me seeking it. Anyway welcome Sean Goss. Ive cant recall ever having seen him play so I will maintain my excitement over his potential until proven otherwise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my LYA-L09 using Tapatalk Watt showed before joining us that he was quality and clearly well equipped for our level - it was never in doubt. There were serious question marks surrounding his attitude as per all previous clubs will attest to however he has dismissed them completely. This isn’t the case for Goss. As for Burrows, I don’t hold some active Vendetta against the guy, I haven’t met him however I’m sure he’s very pleasant - however that’s not what I’m critical of. I’m often critical of his actions as a chief executive which i often find below the levels required/expected; that’s very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a new signing who I am not familiar with, instead of all the club politics , let's hear something about Gossy, position, type of player etc...you're in danger of becoming a major dullard.

mfc Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Goss isn't someone i would have signed but the pluses,he is a midfielder by trade unlike maguire and donnolly and definitely a better option than crawford,if I mind right he's a left footer which might bring a bit of balance if we're going with a midfield three.

C&A not the shop Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 40 games in league one down south over the past 2 seasons, odds are he's not a world beater but he's also perfectly capable of being a solid SPL player. We need solid midfield options, he seems to be that. I can't mind him playing at St Johnstone but maybe someone who paid more attention will be able to offer better insight.

For the avoidance of doubt, Maguire is a midfielder by trade & brought to the club on that basis - different coaching outlook was to convert him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
