Are the Society going to be completey silent on this? They don't have to talk about the Yank's offer but it's strange they haven't put anything out highlighting that fan ownership has given the club a solid platform for the past 7 years.

McGinn's form is in decline and although SOD has been better recently he's still got too many errors in him and is rotten on the ball. I would guess the two of them will be on decent money as well. As we have seen with Gent and Spencer there are younger and better players available.

The problem with our squad is Lamie, Tierney, Maguire, McGinley, Obika, Wilkinson, Elliott and Shaw. Change them for a decent centre half and centre mid and we'd easily be top six.

Vale played well when he dropped back into midfield. I'd be tempted to start him there next week.

The manager's tactics and starting line ups.

Brilliant come back. What a difference after Halliday went off.

Aberdeen game we lose a goal second phase from a corner. St Mirren game Kelly goes walk about and they score from a corner. Today direct from a corner. A joke of a keeper and manager.

There's surely no way he'll be here next season???

Peak Liam Kelly Worst goalie in the league by far.

60 minutes and no shot on target. The fact that people think this is an acceptable standard is mental. The manager should have been gone before Christmas.

Liam Kelly doing bunny hops on the line when the ball is getting crossed 6 yards out yet again.

Spittal's got an airpod in listening to the Hearts game.

It would be crazy to risk Lennon Miller on that park.

It's great to see him standing up for our position against the SPFL regarding the Dundee game. It's night and day from Burrows changing a fixture at short notice to suit Rangers and Neil Doncaster a couple of years ago.

People seem to be very excited about the connection to a household name brand in Netflix when he hasn't actually worked there for a number of years. There is definitely a PR campaign running in the background here with the emphasis on the bid coming from a 'family' which always has positive associations rather than say 'producer of straight to TV movies'.

I can't read the article because of the paywall but i'm sure Stephen McGowan is the journalist who Les Hutchinson seemed to talk to a lot back when he was doing his takeover.

There's no way we should be agreeing to play on astro.

Simple question... Who is currently on the Executive Board?

Do Virgin Money have a shareholder who own 71% of the shares?

He posted it four weeks ago.

When we have a Society vote we are talking about the Society. Look at it this way. If you take a guesstimate 8m valuation of the club then the Well Society currently has assets of £5.7 million just in terms of shares in the club, plus the loans to the club plus the cash in the bank. So somewhere in the region of assets of £7m. If there is a share issue which hands the Americans a controlling interest (51%) the value of the Well Society shareholding - keeping the same valuation - drops to £1.6m. So you are talking about the Well Society giving up assets worth £4 million. Obviously it should require a majority of Well Society members in favour to make that decision.

Motherwell supporting Herald sports writer Graham McGarry has a column up about the potential investment. Bolded bits are most relevant imo https://www.heraldscotland.com/newsletters/bulletin/2605/?nid=2605&ref=eb

Every Society member owns 1 voting share in the Society. Having effectively proportional representation makes no sense. It opens up the possibility that the Well Society members could vote 70% against the takeover but the overall shareholders vote goes in favour of it. In that scenario the Society assets are hugely reduced in value against the wishes of the membership. If you wanted a direct vote the shares were on sale dirt cheap not long ago.

As far as I can tell the club legally has three directors. So there are two people on the Executive Board who aren't directors.

No shareholders need to approve that.
