Plus a 1 year option by club. So start the bidding at £5m Good Scottish/British players come at premium price.

Plus a 1 year option on our part.

Watt has 18 months left on contract so if they were interested then give us £2,000,000 and we will think about it

Always find it mental how people who are very wealthy compared to the average can end up bankrupt. A lot of cowboys out in the financial advisory and investment space.

Remarkably similar to the Davie Turnbull episode

No sympathy at all. When it comes to paying tax, when you are told about a deal and a way to cut your tax bill that sounds too good to be true….. then it’s too good to be true. these guys have earned millions, just pay what you are meant to pay and you’ll still have millions. Dont try and join ridiculous film schemes or forestry schemes. Crazy behaviour when in general most of these footballers are financially illiterate. he’s also not paying any of the money back as he’s bankrupt. He’s saying he has no assets so it’s clear he’s put everything in his wife’s name to get away with not paying back a penny. That’s really tax evasion not avoidance. He’s lucky. Anyway I’ll come off my tax soap box

Did I just hear a woooshing noise above my head??

We would be stupid to sell Watt now so hopefully the board are of the same opinion.

💩💩 Anyone else smell something???

Seems to have been screwed over by one of those tax deductible investments that HMRC later ruled illegal. I have some sympathy, but those schemes can often land you in hot water.

I heard a rumour that didn't happen, one of us will be right

I hope its Mikka Biereth

I see the sun reporting that Faddy has fallen on hard times and has been made bankrupt. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/15768524/james-mcfadden-bankrupt-debts-revealed-football-scotland/

Weve done better than i thought we would last january or february i was so disenchanted with the board and the football on the pitch. I genuinely thought we were on a rudderless dinghy. However glad that the refreshed well society and board have proved me wrong and am delighted with the teams current play and long may it continue

Heard a rumour about a danish winger/ striker, anyone heard anything

Is that also why the didn't sign Lennon Miller?

I’m been listening to a massive amount of Sh1te from the h*n that works with me. Theyve won a few games and they are now prime Barcelona. The level of nonsense signing rumours from them just now is……. Well nonsense plus unless they buy players on KLARNA or Frasers + accounts, I don’t see them buying Watt from us. All this has to do with a tweet he made 10yrs ago about wanting rangers to win a European game. Kudos to the blue nose searching back 10yrs worth of tweets but I’m not convinced

Anyone else hear a rumour that watt failed a medical at rangers on an issue that will take 12 weeks to fix? Rangers fan at work told me that and rumour doing the rounds with their fans 🙈 Should find out on Saturday if true or not if he is playing 😂

All I ever ask of Motherwell FC is that we are the best we possibly can be. And for years under various regimes from Robinson latterly through Alexander to Kettlewell I didn’t think we were anywhere near it. There was no vision or desire to play entertaining football it very much just felt like a case of huff and puff our way through matches and hope that that will be enough to keep us in the top flight. This season has felt different in so many ways. I was very sceptical when Jens was appointed and although I had concerns during the early months of the season when we looked incapable of winning matches you could see that we now had a manager who had a plan on how he wanted us to play football and over the past month or so I think we’ve seen that plan come to fruition. And it’s been brilliant to watch and going to games now no longer feels like the chore it did last season, instead you can’t wait until the next game. We will never have the finished article when it comes to managers or teams but it’s so refreshing seeing us play good flowing football and believing that we can beat anyone on our day.

This time last year I was swithering about renewing my ST for this season . Football was atrocious and coupled with the toxic atmosphere when we went behind in a game I felt enough was enough . Some of it justified but some completely over the top. I've said on a previous post if the New Board /Chairman had not come in with a vision on how to change things then my days visiting FP would have been few and far between . The vision and bravery to go the route we have is nothing short of incredible . Could easily have bottled it after Winner but instead doubled down more . Hats off to everyone involved in the decision making . After a few league cup game where new style of play was being implemented some of the usual roasters were screaming from the stand to revert to the old style . Patience 0 on a scale from 0-10. Jens intervention at that stage calming the roasters down and educating us at the same time really helped . By time Rangers home game came along you could see signs of progress . From then to now the development of players and team collectively has been astonishing . After 58 years watching the ups and downs of our club I can honestly say hand on heart although maybe not the best ever players we've had i'm struggling to remember a better team playing better football . Truly remarkable turnaround

Which begs the question, is it really him that has struggled to find a club? He will have been on a better wage in England, so fairly comfortably well off now if he was sensible with his income. He could drop his wage demands to, say, £5k a week if he wanted to or if his agent allowed him to.

He’s also been absolutely appalling since leaving Luton. I think his confidence went completely when they dumped him after he’d did so well for them in the championship. Millwall, Charlton and Utd fans have all made comments about him being their worst ever signing. the money is crazy there too. It’s quite a drop going from £25k a week down there to £2k a week up here.

Was thinking the same thing, bizarre to think that a right-footed player can't play anywhere in the back two or three. Celtic's loss, he'll do a great job wherever he goes.

DOH!! realised I SAID That the wrong way! Heh he

Good posts from Stu and Joe. At the time of the Barmack proposal, there was a lot of very insightful and forensic analysis from various posters. It proved to be a very complex issue and not being an accountant I struggled to understand all the intricacies of the debate. I was generally in favour of external investment but eventually opposed it when I saw the details of Barmack's plan. Quite a few were comfortable with the detailed discussions but many, probably most, did not understand the complexities. As always, we had extreme views from those who who supported the proposal come what may to those who would die in a ditch to oppose it out of principle. Most lay somewhere in between. Many did not vote for whatever reason. At the time the emerging division in our fanbase concerned me. Fortunately, that emerging rift has largely healed. It concerned me though that some opponents of the proposal looked own in disdain at supporters of it. Although I opposed it, I did think that some/many/most of its backers had good reasons for endorsing it. I took the trouble to ask a few why they did so, without trying to convert them. Most of their answers made perfect sense; others had a grain of truth in them. I never like to dismiss others' opinions out of hand, as it is very rare that I disagree with them 100%. The Society has achieved a range of measures such as fan engagement, managerial recruitment governance and so on. Our current financial health is largely down to the Society and sound governance of our club. As Stu says though a large element of that is the Miller Money. I too would like to see more flesh on the bones of the Society's investment plan & promises. We really do need to maximise income from all sources as we don't know what the future holds and we do face a range of challenges.
