Former Players thread.
Can we stick to that?
Plenty of other places to discuss Stuart Kettlewells performance.
Every thread there is a pollution of the same debate.

He was then loaned to Cove Rangers in September 2022. After making 10 appearances with Cove, Johnston was recalled on 1 January 2023.
Just a reminder......
To be fair that was to play for us and not be sold or loaned on

Happy clappers ffs

I like Otoo at Dunfermline as a replacement for Maguire perhaps come the summer.

Slattery isn't awful - he's just frustrating because there's a deeper feeling he could be a lot better.
Started on fire and then went back to falling over.

Taking it away from Rangers.
Collum's methodology has always been giving decisions to the bigger team.
Guy could referee livingston v aberdeen and give the away team all the decisions.
Bring him in for the Motherwell v Alloa game!

I dont want a say in the day to day running of the club. Thats what the board and/or a CEO are for.
But if we genuinely "own" the club (ie the Well Society is the majority shareholder) we should have a say on the big decisions and general direction of the club.
For exanple, do we want to spend money on a training ground, or keep leasing Dalziel?
Do we want to stay at Fir Park and pay for the upkeep or should we be looking at moving / redevelopment.
Some of the ideas you posted elsewhere regarding the way forward for the club, a "blueprint for development" or whatever you want to call it, should all be up for discussion and there should be a mechanism in place to allow for this and take things forward.
It would then be up to the board /CEO to investigate and if achievable implement these changes, or at least come back to us and explain why it isnt viable.
It shouldnt just be, give us your money, now sit down and leave it to the grown ups, we know what we are doing.
Like all investors, we can stop parting with our cash at any point if we feel we are being taken for a ride......
I put tons into the well society - if I was a Hearts fan - I would log in to the account and see exactly how much and like a Tesco clubcard see what benefits myself and my wee boy would be entitled too.
I haven't put anything more in for the last 18 months. Does any one care?

Thats true they are in a minority but they are the majority shareholders reps on the board so they should be asking the hard questions about the way the club is run, future direction etc thats their role.
i get the impression that they are happy with their positions on the board but won't put their heads above the parapet to question anything that may jepordise their position, if that's the case then what's the point of having reps on the board who never get involved.
Their job should be to make sure the views and concerns of the majority shareholder ie the WS members are known, and put to the board etc for discussion. Yes the other board members might vote them down but then again they might not if the case us persuasive enough, for me thats true fan ownership.
When do our two appointees address the Well Society that voted them in?
Would be nice to hear regularly from them - I do get a weekly newsletter asking for donations.....

Last point for discussion!
I personally know that one championship club is looking at football loving successful businessmen to get involved.
But not necessarily supporters of the club.
Must be looking at Haughey at QP model.

Also just noticed that our current directors are 53, 62, 74 and 75.

The society members elected a board to do that. Now, whether they are actually using their position to hold the club to account, I don't know.
Question I have on this, is did they appoint everyone in the current board?
Now 75% usually appoints a board - I can tell from Companies House that Well Society has 65% +
The Memorandum and Articles I haven't read but it would be interesting to see what powers the WS really has - usually kicks in at 75.

Recruitment is the key in the January transfer window.
Points like today keep us in the mix until that happens.
The pressure is on Daws.....

For me keep the manager and Daws to go.

The Society owns a majority of the club's shares, Allan. There are also a large number of small shareholders like myself. I can't recall the exact percentage but suspect the Society owns about 60%. Maybe someone else can give us the exact percentage. As such, the Society should exert a controlling interest. Maybe time for individual members to be more vocal?
Nature of control
Ownership of shares – 75% or more

He's built a team who physically aren't capable of pressing so we have to sit off and let teams play around us.
We rely on playing on the counter through SOD who is fucking hopeless and Spittal who has no pace and can't pass the ball to save his life.
Joint third most assists in the league for Spittal must have hit his shin with his eyes shut.
SOD I agree with you

He survives to fight another day but the fact remains that his initial tactics are always shocking and we sit off teams despite not being able to defend.
SOD, Butcher, Paton and Blaney are nowhere near good enough for this level and need moved on.
You are not wrong - always down after a first half.
He seems to turn it around by subbing on everyone who is quoted as being a striker at the club and bypassing the midfield. It's very bizarre. -

While I give him some credit for that, he was a huge benefactor of Van Veen hitting some mental freak form, and also it wasn't his team. Once he was given sole control and was given the chance to shape the squad how he wanted it, we've all seen the results.
It was the same at Ross County. Once he got sole control and was given the transfer window to do business it all came apart.
Personally I think it's two windows to shape a team considering what we lost.
I admit some bad signings - what irks me is the length of deals on players we have to bin.
I'll judge where we are in February - some tweaks and we should be ok. Fail and we are down. That is why I state this period is key.
