I think if we do sell Turnbull to Celtic then i'll be done with the fitba regardless of the fee. This is not a knee jerk reaction but more of a sick of the same old pish for the last 50 years. it'll be like the SFA giving McLeish the Scotland job. Nothing's changed and never will . It's not the selling or the fee that matters most to me but who we sell him to . If Hastie had left for any other club bar Rangers or Celtic our support would have just shrugged their shoulders and went " that's pish" but going to one of those two is not on for all the reasons we know too well. I am not going to spend my time and money watching Turnbull rattling 12 goals a season into us. We stood up to Rangers when they fucked us over in the Play off ticket allocation , we've papped their scummy fans out the Main Stand, now its time to stand up to Celtic and their money. Let's see if a fan based club can do what's best for the fans again.

Then move the decimal point a place to the right...

Burrows on Twitter this morning reiterating that it will take “significantly more than our record fee received” to buy Turnbull.

And so it begins with Celtic not learning anything from the McGinn embarrassment last summer, when they failed to pay £3m for a boy that is now worth £25m. We need to get Turnbull down to England so we can max out on sell-on clauses. It’s also the best place for his development.

Is there a place for a thread for the wee Motherwell bits and bobs you come across and maybe aren't worthy of a thread of their own? Time will tell I suppose. I'll start us of with a snippet from a feature on Andy Robertson on the BBC where John Rankin, one of his former team-mates mentions us in a fairly complimentary light. I thought his perception of us as a team and Fir Park as a venue was quite interesting.

If anyone managed to navigate BetPark's website (using google translate from Indonesian -> English) and found a way to spend any money it, I salute them. I clicked on the link again today (from the MFC home page) and it still looks like a mess in any language. I swear it's just a money laundering outfit!

The down side to that is he will only have a year on his contract at that point which puts the value down.

Strongly agree with those saying that 3 or 4 million isn't unrealistic. 3m with a 20% sell on clause and a couple of small international appearance bonuses etc and I'd be happy with that.

Why would he want to wrap himself up in all that Green and blue baggage when he will have other probably better options, only if he wanted to stay at home should he consider it and if he does then fir park for a year sounds good.

We got 70 points in 2013/14, Killie only managed 67 this year.

£1.2m? Swap the 1 and the 2 around and come back to us....

I’ll add him to the list of celebrity ‘well fans, along with the Dalai Lama and Harry Pitter. All that claret and amber has to mean something.

I take it he means Ollie Burke.

There's a couple of fucking kippers on here

I think we are safe on that front. The only salmon we’ll being seeing at Fir Park next season will be the smoked variety in the hospitality suite.

Re. Motherwell for some reason i've got a feeling we're going to have a really positive season next year, not really sure what i'm basing that on but there you go. I'm moving back home after 5 years away so will be the first time in ages that i'm able to get a season ticket and regularly attend games. To say i'm buzzing for it is an understatement- maybe that's where my baseless optimism comes from.
