01 Aug 2024 Termination of appointment of James Cairns Mcmahon as a director on 31 July 2024

As everyone knows on this forum, especially after a few ding dongs with the likes of @wellfan about Kettlewell I have generally always been on the positive side. However I am very frustrated about what I have seen on Saturday and the negative side of Kettlewell. It all goes back to Gent really. It takes him too long to figure things out that he has seen work before. We know that in this system you need 2 positive pacey wing backs. Covered by the back 3. Max Johnston, Georgie Gent, Furlong etc. Things dramatically improved here with this system. Bearing this in mind do we need to wait half a season to see Makela? Next Wells for Stuparevic hangs them both out to dry. Any sense would have seen Wells come on for Halliday. Shifting Miller back the way. Balmer looks good. We've seen enough of Blaney to see what he can be. Nothing against him but I'd rather have seen Balmer because Blaney was poor against Clyde and nearly sent off against Partick. Frustrating. I think he is a good manager but let's speed up the train of thought please.

What is really noticeable is that the "born under a well flag" facebook fan group is the entire opposite of the views on here. Perhaps a vote might have been tighter than we thought. Anyway I'll let you guess which one is me. Not many saying the offer is crap and I'm one of them.

We agree again. The love affair continues.

Yes you are in the same boat!

Jim McMahon reads my posts and releases statements about them.

Some may disagree but to make things entertaining can come at no cost option. 5 mascots from each team against the goalkeeper coach etc etc Experience of a life time for those kids too

It's a very american trend. Soccer is a day out. I don't disagree with him. I think the experience can be better. (Obviously the financial package offered is a lot of crap, taking relevant positive ideas to nurture ourselves, all good)

Plus 1.

I think also when defeated a lot more people will restart or up the subscription. Considering what Barmack is putting in, above needs taken into consideration.

I said this before, way way back before it all started. Not that I could have foreseen this - but what I pointed out is that a 75 year old man leading the way is a very dangerous thing. At a certain point, they will want out. Cash in the chips and leave it all behind. Therefore his influence is deliberate in order to exit and cash in on those chips. The rest are sheep following his influence. Maybe this is the first post we agree on and a new friendship is blossoming 😘

We are not often still unbeaten in Europe by this stage.

You know my feelings by now and I'll try and be nice and mellow about it! It's behind the scenes and you have seen it. Once we do see it, hopefully those frustrations go away and it's as good as you say. It wouldn't be easy for me to help and probably many more. 3 kids and a few businesses to run at this end. That's why I wouldn't raise a hand. I don't suspect those that did could have foreseen this though....

Cheers @dennyc for the well thought and constructed reply to my comments, appreciated. There is no doubt differences to Hearts, you are correct and good to point those out. I have nothing to argue in relation to what you have said. I hope the WS upcoming update can push it forward to where we all want it to be. I am really critical of the past but there is a real chance now to improve.

Fair enough. It's up to the WS and Kettlewell to prove us wrong!

What a comeback. Ran out of answers pal?

Did the board and these three members stop them from building a website in 13 years?

I'll quite happily not keep my powder dry. Same as your rhetoric about Kettlewell. It's a forum and your opinion differs from mine. A forthcoming plan driven from a needs be process. We all want it to be good. I am saying thus far I think the WS are not a patch of the Foundation of Hearts. Do you disagree? My attack is on the Well Society as a whole. That includes the 3 members obviously that you speak of who have held it back.

I will repond to previous statements by @David and @dennyc I disagree they have done a good job. If you want to see a job well done by a group of volunteers - go here. https://www.foundationofhearts.org/ The Well Society new board have done what to justify a good job so far? As I previously said updated everyones details and ran a collection at the games. Tea and biscuits bowling club mentality. What do I want them to do? 1. Act on behalf of the fans. We are clearly not happy with the board. What can be done here? 2. Copy the formula of the volunteers at Hearts. Easy to find, they have a website that tells you everything. 3. Produce a statement about how we can raise more funds to help the club in future years, so that we can put this offer to bed. You are again missing what I am saying by asking more questions about Eric Barmack. All I said that he is acting, he's changed the heads of terms. I'm not here to talk about him. I am here to talk about how the club moves forwards with the Well Society which is the alternative to EB and the one that everyone is vested in.

As in politics The guys in charge (or the offer) is terrible. Both apt in this case. Whats your plans? That's no the point, guys in charge/offer is terrible

Yes as a general BUT the Society can barely manage themselves. All this chat about how the new members are doing so much more? Quantify that - two statements and getting everyones details updated on the database and a couple more buckets at the game. C'mon........ Still waiting on this game changing plan. Eric B is acting when is the WS going to? Maybe start with a date when we can all expect to receive the info by.

I'd say it's the opposite to remain with the status quo we need to rely on funds like this. So the opposite in terms of supporters.....

Yeh but Sparrow flys like the wind. Let's do it all again..........

Deperately need left back and a goalie.
