You need to get some velcro letters for the kids' jerseys, because players rarely stick around at clubs these days - even the big clubs.

SCRUM is just some fancy words for only building what you have time to build. If it's not working, it's usually because the people running it don't really understand it (like not including time for testing, or prioritizing the wrong things). Extreme Programming on the other hand is mince in its purest form.

I’ve never really listened to him so can’t really say anything bout him. Not sure how long he’s been a “celebrity” but I’ve been here 37 years and I don’t recall being aware of him when we left.

They will be spending too much time standing up and the velocity of the backlog will be reducing agility.

I think keeping majority share fan owned probably best for clubs security. If we did get Saudi type investment or US then that's a different ball game. I'm fed up of managers and players leaving. Entitled Celtic fans at work saying they taking Just, Maswanise and our manager. I'm fed up buying new strips with player name on for son too as most leave when they become success. I know that's model we operate Just hoping we can keep the best players slightly longer and show a little more ambition than we have over the years. I do get that with wimmer and Jen's club going in high pressure passing direction but next manager cannot be guaranteed to be half as good coach or motivator than Ken's. Look how he has improved sod and mcgin.

The fact that you're using SCRUM methodology means it will probably never work.

Making money from buying and selling players is worth much more to us than an investment, unless someone is willing to write off tens of millions every year. Hibs have spent £13 million of someone else's money over the last 3 years (on top of having a much bigger budget than us to start with) all to be sitting 6 points behind us currently.

Does that make me more or less likely to find Mrs Brown's Boys funny?

On a not entirely related topic I e:mailed press@motherwellfc.co.uk when the communication came out about voting for the goal of the season and player of the year to ask why shareholders were not allowed to vote, but didn't get the courtesy of a reply. I also passed the message on via the office in person but that hasn't generated a reply either. As a shareholder I often feel we are forgotten or undervalued if we are not members of the Well Society.

Aye , but you are half American now ,to be fair.

Even with investment we're not going to compete on wages with any big team that wants to step in and take a player or manager. That's OK, though. Our model is to offer players different opportunities. For some like Just, it's to get some quality playing time ahead of the World Cup. For other slike Watt, it's to get their career back on track after struggling for a season or two. And if you are a talented youngster like Miller, we can help get you a move to a top Italian league. I have no idea if Jens will be off or not, but either way I expect us to sell 2 or 3 of our high value players in the summer and continue down the same path for recruitment of fresh faces. And if we need a new manager, I expect the next one to be in the same mould as JBA.

I think that’s the problem. The majority of the Well Society don’t want outside investment. However, we have a crumbling stadium and need £20m+ investment for a new stadium. Or £10m if we stay put. Do we’ll sell our players this year to help finance it or try to invest in the squad? We should be looking for proper outside investment probably from across the pond. Or should be doing a Hearts and partnering with a data guy or another club? Thankfully not my call🤞

Once upon a time he came across well (no pun intended) and was good publicity for the club. Personal view is time has moved on but his act/approach hasn't.

Haven't listened to Tam or Off the Ball for many years. He's the Mrs. Brown's Boy's of radio. There are people that find him funny - and fair play to them - but not for me.

I've never found him bearable, funny, interesting, or worth listening to live or on the radio. My personal view but given the fact hes had a media career for a while now lots of people must rate him.

Off the ball has been unlistenable for years.

The bigger picture for us in footballing terms is that JBA, and Wimmer to a lesser extent, has reset the club. That process was set in motion by the current board. The only real concern for next season and beyond isn’t JBA leaving, which is inevitable at some point, but whether the board changes direction. I don’t think they will. They’ve been clear about the path they want the club on, and it feels like a structural shift rather than a short-term project. The key test will be whether they appoint the next right man when the time comes, and whether the footballing direction remains consistent. If it does, revenue should continue to rise and, with that, the calibre of player and results will follow.

That's why we need investment. He's got good players here and if we up our money he could do even better next season and get an even bigger club than Celtic. Look how Hearts have taken on old firm and could even win league. I know they are bigger club financially but teams like bodo glm have taken it to next level and are similar size. Other teams have done it with investment. We just got to do our best in marketing and show as much ambition as we can.

That’s unrealistic though. I am pretty sure Celtic could offer him over £1 million per year. Easy. I would imagine we would be about £300k - we can’t compete with that.

That's how we got to show ambition and back him. Try to take us to next level rather than constant rebuild every season. We will never get to next level unless we back him. We may need more investment but finances improving.

I watched the video the club put up about the event, there really is a good bond with these players, you can see it clearly. Even the players on the edge of the first team who in past years would be disgruntled all look happy. We’re clearly doing something right in this department with regards recruitment and management. on another less positive note, am I the only one who finds tam Cowan unbearable. I struggle to even listen to off the ball now.

I think most of us have made peace with that fact. But I dont think I could handle him going to another club in Scotland. Particularly if its one of the ugly sisters. That would be hard to take. Im hopeful that he might stay another season and see out his contract. But if he doesnt, Id prefer he went down south or back to Europe.

If Jens goes then hopefully not to sellik. Rumours probably ususl unsettling. Since split fixtures announced sellik have..... 1) welcomed green brigade back 2) tried to ban rangers fans 3) linked with marc Leonard 4) linked with Jens Just usual unsettling tactics
