I just read Aberdeen sacked Thelin. Is that true? right before two games against rangers this coming week.

Hand over all the Miller money to him.

I do not envisage Jens going any where before season end and I hope even then. I believe if and when he does go he will insist on the the team he moves play his style of football and mid season is not the time to do it. That's Nancy's problem at Celtic. Quite sure you all remember the first game in Netherlands and the learning curve thro LC games.

Would you jump ship for Aberdeen right now though? Sure they can offer a slightly bigger wage, but it would hardly be a life changing amount and no guarantees you could get those players abd their fans to buy into your ideas the same way ours have. Dont see Jens leaving us for anyone in Scotland outside the uglies.

I absolutely love his character. As well as his skill level, which is phenomenal, there is a bit of devilment about him. Happy to noise up opposition players and management. I like that! 😆😆😆

That's Aberdeen sacked Jimmy Thelin now. Better not have any ideas about trying to go for Jens

I think the new board and CEO have shown that they are pretty switched on when it comes to future planning. They will be well aware of the interest thats coming down the line in respect of players and tge manager and doing everything they can to future proof the club. Getting players or the manager to sign any new and improved contracts is obviously easier said than done, but absolutely no point worrying about it. Whatever will be, will be......

It's the gaffer we need a fat contract on!!!!

We have a lot more players on 1 year options than I thought, I dont know how enforceable they are, but at the very least it gives us more negotiating power for fees. This summer Koutroumbis Gordon Connelly Robinson Nicholson SOD Slattery 2026 +1 year club option Balmer Stuparevic 2027 Hendry - paid a fee McGinn 2027 + 1 year club option Stam - paid a fee Maswanhise Watt Just - paid a fee Said - paid a fee Longelo - paid a fee Ward Ox Sparrow

This year is the option year that we triggered on his existing contract when he came back from injury.

A big striker and Miller on loan to keep title challenge on! 🤪🤪

Would love to see a couple of contract extensions, hopefully work being done on this af the moment.

Yes, bottom line pretty much always comes down to what the player wants, which is as it should be. However, what annoys me is agents/potential buyers getting inside players heads while they still have year+ of contract to go, basically unsettling them so that keeping them becomes almost impossible and you are practically forced into selling them.

Do the club not have a 1 year option on Slattery ?

I’m not worried about anything, was just replying to folk thinking that it’s easy to say no to offers and players leaving. Personally I’d be looking to sell Slattery and leave the rest until the summer.

I suppose MFC will be doing what they can to keep Jens and keep players here so we can benefit from them playing for us but also not end up letting players go for zero. For once it would be great to see a Motherwell team, especially this one, go into European competition with the same team that qualified. Long term, we have to do what we can to maintain this approach to football and not revert back to”guid laddies” and “right to play” hoofball crap.

I don't disagree I'd far rather they go down South/abroad but at the same time the same way it was when Turnbull went to Celtic if the player wants the move and the money offered is at the level you want it to be their going to move on that is the clubs model and there's no way this time it would be any different.

Wouldn’t sell any players, we would rather keep, to another Scottish team.

Realistically if you we're getting offers for Watt, Maswanhise or Just of 3m+ we're going to take it. Also if you look at it from the clubs perspective you'd rather JBA being the manager to replace them. If Slattery wants to stay get him signed up same with SOD all the others OOC should be allowed to move on. If Hendry's out we need a Striker in asap as Osong is poor and people seem to think Stama wants to move on which is fine as long as we recoup what we paid. Think for me this month we need 4 or 5 in everyone around us will strengthen so we're going to have to as well. From his tweets on X Watt's a Rangers fan so if he's angling for that move let him go and make as much as we can from the sale to replace him.

I accidentally voted for Said instead of Just, but I'm OK with that for his entertainment value alone.

It sounds like you're just making up stuff to be worried about. Some players will want to stay, some players will want to move on, some new players will be happy to join. Same as every season. That's for dealing with in the summer. Just enjoy the ride for now.

Hot take - maybe some of the current squad actually enjoy playing football for us and would like another season of the same.

Wouldn’t be surprised if JBA plays a totally different type of game as Hibs might set up to negate how we played last time. Screwing with the oppositions manager and players minds it something JBA excels at.

Never said there definitely will be clauses, was using it as an example of how the don’t sell anyone stuff ain’t clear cut. Also fuckin someone over if you break a verbal agreement won’t go down well and would damage our reputation and relationships with present players and potential signings. .

7000 well fans yesterday which is amazing but also now brings the random non season ticket seats being bought for games. Seat between me and my mates is non season ticket but never used so we all sit together. Yesterday random guy never seen before had ticket for that seat. Never even made suggestion to swap with me so I could sit with my mates ( mind you....they weren't complaining) !! 🤪🤪
