Think its encouraging that £4m/£5m is now the standard figure quoted.

Listened to it the other day. Quality. Good to have another 'Well podcast.

Davie Cooper would have been 70 today. Tragically taken from us far too young. Still one of best players I ever saw in a well jersey

I suppose the weird thing about this summer is we could be JBA, Just, Maswanhise down but the club could be the best part of £10M up of the back of 1 good season.

Absolutely. No way the club are turning that kind of money down. Its our model after all. We take it and invest modestly in the next Maswanhise. It also takes any pressure of taking low ball offers for any of our other players. "Meet the valuation or bugger off!" This summer is going to be an entirely new experience for us as a club. One where we are not just clearing the decks to try and get rid of the deadwood, but trying to hold onto as much of this squad as we can, whilst at the same time not standing in the way of players career development. The only hope is that Jens is still the guy overseeing it and we are not looking for a new manager as well.

I still don't know how we ended up in the T6 and Europe that season we were horrendous after Watt left. The fact we tried to build our defence around Rickie Lamie at a point in time is also concerning looking back on it.

I might be in the minority but if we're getting offered upwards of 5M for Maswanhise come the summer get him on the first plane there he's a good player but at 23 he's still extremely raw and I highly doubt he'll replicate his numbers this season again anywhere else.

I don't know Jake hastie but doubt he would make same choice again..possibly he never really had it but he did have something for a short spell. Any time I saw him after that he was below average, so maybe should've stayed, if you're good enough you'll get your move. Can't be good for your mindset to be sub for Airdrie after playing in Premier.

Getting the top 6 in February….. Not even any need for a Rickie Lamie last minute goal!!! we are so boring…… but I’ll take it 🤣

Very pleasing. I know we are all looking up the way, but these little milestones will let the board start planning early for next season....

Stick a linky on Peter! 😍😍😍 Although Im sure we can find it!

A wee bit of self promotion, sort of! Myself and fellow Well fan Gary Muircroft (Crofty off Go Radio) have started a podcast called Motherwell Daft. It's available on You Tube, Spotify and Apple. We've done 2 episodes already, pre and post St Mirren. We plan to do a weekly preview and then review of all Motherwell matches, so any feedback is appreciated, not to mention likes, shares and for folk to subscribe! Cheers 👍

Pretty early by our "last gasp goal on last pre-split fixture" standards.

Top six now confirmed thanks to Dundee United and Aberdeen drawing tonight.

My understanding is that taking the top 6 as it stands we will have 2 home (Celtic and Hearts) and 3 away fixtures post split. The team that will be complaining will be Rangers as they will need to have 3 away games to ensure a 19/19 split..... to mirror Celtic and avoid meltdown in the east end of Glasgow.. Given the current top 6 standings Rangers are due 3 post split games at Ibrox which would mean 20/18 split in their favour.. So I gather their fixture at home to Falkirk will be switched. Rangers will then have a 19/19 split and Falkirk 20/18 split.

To be honest it was the right decision. Yes Trusty now out for a few games, maybe they will start Welsh........oh that's right.......they cannae 🤣😂

Long way to go but I would like hearts home last game woth is needing only a point but with them out title race

The methodology for setting the post-split fixtures is flawed, unfair nonsense that gets zero proper scrutiny and shows little regard for fairness across the league.

An important point. The new board, Wimmer and JBA have set the direction and the standard going forward.

Correct and certainly a European game or two would not be a huge influence on decisions anyone on our books has to make if a big offer and big club comes in.

Will 2 at home and 3 away not give us 19 home and away over the season? We have (will have) played: Rangers, Falkirk, Hibs, Kilmarnock, Aberdeen & Dundee Utd at home times two, (12 games) and, Dundee, Celtic, Hearts, Livingstone & St. Mirren once (5 games) = 17 home, 16 away.

I think their is some truth in those comments but generally it will come down to whether they are earning enough in the first place to make any potential increase less critical or life changing. I doubt the wages on offer at Motherwell to players and staff provide the financial security that would enable anyone to refuse a huge uplift. Hastie is the classic example. I wonder where he would be financially if he had stayed put? Maybe still at Airdrie having been released by us and needing a second job to make ends meet. As mentioned above, he made the right, safer choice. Like every one on here I hope Askou and our top players and coaches are here next season. But I am realistic enough to understand they will look to move on if/when the right offer comes along. It would only take one poor season for their value....and those job offers... to return to previous levels. Let's enjoy what we have when we have it and pray that any replacements continue the amazing progress that has been seen this season.

The vast majority are cos very few of us have the luxury of finance not being the major factor in our decisions.
