steelboy Posted May 21, 2024 Report Share Posted May 21, 2024 That's been a rumour for a while. McCrorie will be looking for first team football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted May 21, 2024 Report Share Posted May 21, 2024 We have offered deals to Kelly, SOD, McGinn, Slattery and Nicholson. Halliday has a deal as well. The 46 hours between the full time whistle on Sunday and now were the highlight of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to keep both. From recollection SOD came to Motherwell hoping for a bigger deal elsewhere but it didn't happen. I remember my brother being surprised that we had got him.

I would expect McGinn to continue to be a first team starter next season. Reduced terms could potentially see us lose him to a rival.

steelboy Posted May 21, 2024 Report Share Posted May 21, 2024 Andy Halliday sneaking onto the squad list is a sickner. Lennon Miller should be looking to get out of Fir Park as soon as possible as he's playing with compete duds who will drag him down with them.

Reduced terms could potentially see us lose him to a rival. Expand If we're losing Kelly and some other long-term players then we will need a few experienced heads who know the club and who can help the transition to a new era of sorts. If O'Donnell is one of them, on a reduced contract that has both term and finances to reflect his current and future position in the squad, then I'm happy with that.

FWIW I like McGinn and he's shown he's a good player for us but something in the defence needs to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
