So all investment is bad then just because you choose to point out failings in St Johnstone's model (in your opinion)

That's not what I said, the comparison was due to the fact that they went through an American investment proposal at a similar time that we did.

Im also confused by your comment, as the current Well Society board WILL be looking for investment.

The last sentence of my post was aimed at the people (not aimed at you) that seem to believe that we need investment at any cost, there is room for investment but it needs to work for both parties.

What people on here are pointing out is the fact that a comedy nights and some bucket money collectors at a game isn't exactly mind blowing stuff, well meaning yes, mind blowing strategy.........no.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that they're reinventing the wheel however they should be given credit where it is due for making more of what is infront of them, some thing that the previous board failed to do.

As I mentioned earlier, for those seeking a significant investment, I’m genuinely curious to hear your thoughts on the following:

"What kind of return on investment do you believe is realistic when putting money into a club like Motherwell?"

This isn’t a loaded question, nor is it meant to catch anyone out.

I note that Feeleys term of office on the WS Board is up but he is standing for re-election.

No harm to the guy, but I cant imagine that will be supported by the wider membership.

2 vacancies will be voted on. His and Jay Henderson who is standing down after 8 years.

Opportunity for all those who dont think the current WS Board is doing enough, to step up and make a difference!

Feeley will have his pals that will vote for him. He'll also have the WS Nay sayers on his side since he was unfathomably so pro Barmack. I don't think he's a bad guy and I reckon a voice like his should be welcomed. I have a lot of respect for him since he turned up to the WS nights a few month ago and answered questions on his thought process. 




As for the Quiz nights and Comedy nights. I think that's more about getting folk involved than the few hunner quid(that's gonna also be welcome).

I'm all for that and sorry that I missed them both.

allowed there pitch to be massacred by a guy that has now pranced about Easter Road in a Hibs top after a 3-0 loss.

Is this deliberately obtuse or am I just out of the loop? 🤷‍♂️

Apparently the St Johnstone groundsman was parading about Easter Road after their game on Saturday with a Hibs top on.

From what ive seen, what we are looking for is a senile old investor that wants to chuck their money in with zero interest in a return. That's no happening. 

Its looks like we've sat and watched what's happened at Wrexham and tried to jump on the band wagon but without putting up the same stakes. You could even look at both clubs situations as similar,  both fan owned and hit a ceiling, needing outside investment. From what I understand (and can remember, its been a while) is that the deal was struck that the ground was retained by the fans but they gave up control. You are going to find it neigh on impossible to find any investor worth their salt that won't involve giving up one or the other. 

What we would have better off doing is spending the time and money to look at better ways to create sponsorship & partnership opertunites as that makes more sense keeping in line what what we are willing to actually give up.
