  1. Our squad is simply not good enough, in fact it’s as poor as it’s been in years.  Our signing policy needs looked at.  From our squad I count 9 players who are not good enough to start or come on to change a game.

    the above list of players says it all and limits us to the ability of changing a game when we are chasing it

    Is it not just the case that a piece of equipment used in the medical wasn't operational at the time required?  And that's the same reason the announcement of our own latest signing has been delayed?

    Could it not be case we are playing hard ball with Celtic waiting to get what we want and until then we can’t sign the players we want to.

    I assumed the clubs had agreed the fee already, otherwise the player wouldn't have been allowed to speak to Celtic?

    Again from what I’ve heard an initial offer from Celtic was agreed, as Motherwell media release originally stated.  After Turnbull turned down initial terms Celtic withdraw the offer.  Then terms were agreed between Celtic and Turnbull, with Celtic assuming the original offer to Motherwell was sufficient.  Motherwell have effectively said naw let’s negotiate again.

    this has been further supported by it being muted by fir park officials that they were supposed Turnbull was at Parkhead for medical when no agreement between clubs was in place.

    it sounds all very cloak and dagger  and I think the fact Turnbull has not been announced suggested something isn’t right

    I don't think we can get a sell-on fee if the player is leaving under freedom of contract.

    100% correct - when out of contract the only control we have is agreeing a development fee with other club should one be due.  If two clubs can’t agree it goes to a tribunal 

  5. Please close this topic.

     

    I apologise for any annoyance this has caused - it was never my intention.

     

    I was purely expressing my concern and possibly wrong way going about it but given the financial position of Scottish football and our history and the way it came about i felt was something worth sharing

     

    Apologies again, please close

  6. I have heard today from someone that has little interest in Scottish football let alone Motherwell that as a result of poor cup runs and our poor league position both last year and currently this year that administration may not be far away due to overspending! I was surprised and hurt to hear this and I hope to god this isn't the case!

     

    I didn't think it was possible with how club is structured? Correct?

     

    Now I'm a Motherwell through and through and hope it's all talk but concerning! Thoughts?!

     

    I am by no means here to cause problems etc just something that was motioned to me today

  7. I do agree with comments that it should cover across the board for us all and should be the games further a field - I noticed yesterday that caley must run buses back into town for fans after games which is an impressive idea but back to us - the club should and could look at helping with transport to games But I'm sure the Bois want to continue traveling together in the way they enjoy and they know best - if anything happens we don't. I don't. And they won't want that changing

     

    Could someone from the Bois come tell us all generally the organising needed for say a trip like yesterday and costs or even in particular when we have a game when tickets are needed?

     

    Would help us understand what maybe can be suggested/done

  8. Was at game yesterday and was an enjoyable trip from start to finish but I was disappointed to hear that the Bois bus never made it to the game. They were missed.

     

    Our boys are a credit to our club and after ibrox they sort of put us as fans out there for everyone to see what our club means to us.

     

    The Bois do great organising there match days - displays, transport etc etc and the cost must always be tight given the age of some of them and the likely income some may be on - this is probably the reason yesterday happened and they never made it to game - simply their bus would have been cheap as possible and the quality of bus maybe an issue. May I add I have zero input in the Bois this is outsider looking in.

     

    My point - why cant the club not assist the boys more with there match day transport to away games. I understand there are people who organise other buses at their own expense but for what the Bois bring to a match day, what they have done for the club and most importantly the fact I feel they simply deserve it would it not be a good touch for the club to help with some costs? Say 50% of there bus with a decent company ensuring they 'make' it to the game? What would that be £300 tops for there bus? I'm sure the players would love it.

     

    Yes they probably have a drink on bus etc etc but the club wouldn't be organising it or responsible for it they would simply be giving some contribution to the hard work they do ensuring them and us have a enjoyable day supporting our small club and ensuring we stay up there with the best travelling fans

     

    Go on Motherwell FC I dare u to just think about what I've said it would be a statement in a half as a club!

  9. Just in from game, right good game and played well

     

    One thing to add - we were right to try score from the strangest throw in given to us and expect it back

     

    Merv should have scored!

     

    Another thing to add - disappointed the young lads buss never made it!

     

    They were sadly missed today but we tried without them!

  10. Today is a massive day goes without saying .....

     

    Being at the game on Thursday all 950 of us were amazing and a credit to our club but ....

     

    I wake this morning worried that our crowd will be diluted with them in amongst us, effecting the atmosphere inside our small, old, shackle but classic stadium - the stadium which is ours and stands for all we are

     

    All man woman and children, Motherwell supporters all class get on your feet, Motherwell well fans of regular, little or swaying attendance but Motherwell fans of any be loud and join in with the atmosphere - stand on ur feet with the well fan beside you and be part of the atmosphere this will make THEM amoung us be found out and if that's the case sound THEM out and don't let US be diluted!

     

    THIS IS IMPORTANT....who's in?

     

    I hate the fact THEM lot will be in amoung US lot and the only way to better that is to suffocate them with what we stand for - for what we showed on Thursday.

     

    I swear THEM should not be in with US .... If we create an atmosphere that we're all in it together and it's clear people in amoung US are not part of US....

     

    GET THEM TO F#UK!!
