Compare it to Wilson who had nothing substantial to say and there's surely only one way for sensible fans to vote.Ā I've already got my Reject vote in.Ā It is indeed a great statement, and very well-timed. Wilson has shown himself to be a compliant yes-man whoās never had to deal with the consequences of his actions in business. Add to that, McMahon must send excellent birthday cards.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villageman Posted July 8 Report Share Posted July 8 Further to my earlier post I would like to add Ā£3m ie Ā£1m per year is around 5 times the current financial support WS receives so its plan to increase income would still be needed even with Barmack on board.

steelboy Posted July 8 Report Share Posted July 8 The response on Twitter to the outgoing chairman's statement is quite something. I've obviously been keeping an eye on this for a while and on Twitter I've been noticing an increase in the number of fans favouring reject over the last week or so. And the flip side is no increase at all in accept as far as I can tell. Facebook might be different but I stay well clear of that.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, fair play to him; he's been absolutely outstanding throughout this and so has his old man in the last fortnight or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan Posted July 8 Report Share Posted July 8 Should we start taking bets on McMahon, Dickie, and Feelyās resignation/removal dates now?

joewarkfanclub Posted July 8 Report Share Posted July 8 Got my voting pack in. Another for the REJECT pile. The 2 guys I sit with are reject also. Great statement from Brian McCafferty. Great timing also. Hopefully we can win this by a resounding margin and move on stronger. Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texanwellfan Posted July 8 Report Share Posted July 8 I do hope all those with a vote are clear that this vote is about Wild sheep offer. We want to reject this offer.Ā Ā Ā We are still able to consider any future investments that may be proposed. This one should definitely be an overwhelming rejection but we should keep our mind open and carefully consider any future offers on a case by case basis, after all, we want what is best for MFC to help sustain its future.Ā PS. There is no truth in the rumor that Wild Sheep is an online dating service for Aberdeen supportersā¦..or is there?Ā 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted July 8 Report Share Posted July 8 https://x.com/MotherwellWorld/status/1810343964286861434 Kettlewell is obviously saying the right thing by staying out of the debate about investment and fan ownership but i've got to admit if I got a notification for a 35 minute Youtube video where he gives his take on the full saga i'd be getting the beers and popcorn out and sitting down to watch.
