Agree, the wages would likely be the stumbling block, but the fact he's not currently earning may make £2k attractive. Interestingly 4 of his last 5 clubs have all been loan deals. But likely a league 1 will take a chance on him as no fee involved.

Came across an article about the PFA camp in England for players without a Club to put themselves in the 'shop window'. One of the players mentioned was the ex-Aberdeen striker Sam Cosgrove who they sold for (supposedly) £2m. Scored 47 in 103 games and only 28 years old. Wonder if he's someone worth considering?

I have to agree, it was with the 'rights' of the legacy members that I had a concern, for example, do they retain the right to vote on Society issues. To me, it wasn't clear what the situation would be. I emailed the Society, but no-one has responded as yet (it may be that they are going to collate all/any questions and respond in one go).

The only thing is if you were doing a Hammell/Kettlewell 'who was the better' comparison, based on his service to the club I think Stevie Nicks it ...

By the time we start interviewing, Davie Moyes will probably have been sacked again and available:)

The Well Society have no direct say in the matter. The Board of MFC, as does the Board of any Company, makes the decisions with regards to its business. The only thing the WS can do is to make clear its feelings via its appointed representatives on the Board. But ultimately the MFC Board are responsible for any/all decisions with regards the running of the Club.

I've heard he won't fly Emirates airline as the seats are set out in a 3-4-3 formation :)

Aston Oxborough has signed a new contract with the club. The new deal will see the goalkeeper remain at the club until the summer of 2027, with the club holding an option of a further year. The 26-year-old has impressed everyone between the sticks this season. Oxborough has been named in the Premiership team of the week twice, and was voted player of the month for September by the Motherwell supporters. “It’s great to get Aston signed on a longer contract,” manager Stuart Kettlewell added. “There’s been no doubt in my mind that I wanted him to stay at Fir Park beyond this season. His qualities have shone through in his performances this season. And I think everyone knows how patient he has had to be for his opportunity. “He is a huge part of the success we’ve had so far.” The Englishman has started 11 games this season and has firmly secured his spot as the number one keeper at the club, with a string of impressive saves and performances. “It’s been a bit of a whirlwind this season but I’m so happy to be signing on,” Aston Oxborough said. “I’ve tried to give my absolute all and I’m pleased with how it’s went so far. Signing this deal doesn’t mean I’ll be taking my foot off the gas. “We have huge games coming up and long-term, I want to be the number one keeper. So, it’s time to keep my head down and get back to work.”

I emailed the club last night to ask what the numbers were. Wouldn't surprise me if they'd forgotten to draw them

It's not all bad news, according to the official site ... https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2024/05/19/motherwell-3-1-st-johnstone/

The AGM is for shareholders of MFC not The Well Society and all shareholders will receive details about the meeting advising the process.

How astute some of our fans are when describing the Board as amateurs, they are correct. They receive no pay for what they do, so, by definition, they are indeed amateurs. As to the complaint that the Directors are not experienced on the Board of a football club, I would ask how do you become experienced on the Board of a football club without being on the Board of a football club? There was a post by David recently regarding the recruitment policy process of the club. Whilst not everyone may have agreed fully with his proposal at least he took the time and effort to put forward an extremely in depth, well thought out and articulate analysis as to what he believed could be improved. Unlike the vast majority of the posts on here which are just negative criticism and could, possibly, at times be classed as bullying and/or trolling. Also for those who are no happy with the direction the Club is heading, there are a number of possible options available. Option 1 1. Join the Well Society 2. Put yourself forward to be a Director of the WS 3. Get elected 4. Be nominated to be the WS Director on the Main Board 5. Put forward your proposals for change Option 2 1. Be asked to join the Board of MFC due to your existing skills 2. Put forward your proposal for Change Option 3 1 Buy MFC 2 Do what you like as you now own it Or go with what you currently seem best at – being negative and criticising others.

Not at all. However I do find it interesting that rather than discuss the point raised, you chose to respond with an insult. Hardly the behaviours expected of a Moderator of a site.

Here's a thought .... could the Moderators set up a separate thread called "I wan't to b*tch about the Club, coz I could run it so much better", transfer all the comments from this thread to it and leave this thread to be for rumours (and the occasional fact) as to who we are about to sign?
