Not disagreeing, but i'd be interested to know how you would approach selling the Scottish game to Sky etc. There's no massive audience outside Scotland (or even in Scotland for that matter) and non h**s/Tims games are liable to get next to no audience. The sheer economics of it make it impossible to walk into a negotiation and say 'we demand £50m a year'. It's a sad predicament for the game to be in but that's what constant televised football has brought us to. Many fans will sit in the house and watch Aston Villa v Wolves with a couple o' cans before they'd turn up at the ground of their local team.

If we had 6 more points no one would be talking about directors or chairman. Hopefully this isn't connected to results or moans and groans from the support.

Im not sure I agree with or fully understand what they are saying. Surely the club requires to be run on a sustainable basis regardless of who owns it? In other words we only spend the cash we generate. The Well Society was supposed to be operated as an overdraft facility to aid cash flow during points in the season when revenues were low and there was still expenditure requiring to be covered. That being the case the money going in and out of the Society should actually accumulate over time and become larger as more donations are made. If we are still running that model, then the only thing a wealthy shareholder would bring is a bigger overdraft facility. If we are not running that model then I would be concerned as to what we are opening ourselves up to. What wealthy benefactor is going to put investment into the club without wanting a return on that investment? If they want a return, where is it going to come from? We went down that route before and it nearly finished us. So, whilst it would appear to be a good thing that changes are afoot and we are to get new blood and new ideas into the club, I think we should be careful what we wish for. The guys who have been running the club may not have done everything to the satisfaction of the fans and they will certainly have made mistakes. But they were all Motherwell fans and had the best interests of the club at heart. I thank them for their service and hope they have left behind a plan to secure our future going forward.

Thanks to Jim McMahon and Derek Weir for their service and stepping into the breach in times of need. The club has seemed rudderless for some time though. All that said, I don't know what to make of their departure and the timing. It could mean several things. Maybe we are following Dundee's model, in part. Private investment would be very welcome, but would investors step forward if the Society is still the largest shareholders? If the Society is to sell a significant number of shares then that would require members' approval. Tonight our future ownership/governance is uncertain. Some clarity is required ASAP.

You never know 🤔 SIWY

Can't see us getting anything sadly but I said the same a few weeks back when we were at Parkhead, you never know.. COYW

They are in pretty decent form atm, Will be a tough one

With Adams leaving Morecambe I now wonder if that was a Wise move.....ba boom. I'm here all week 😜😜

I posted about Derek on a different thread but I found it honest and refreshing - the standard is garbage , much poorer than league 2 - he's right to call it out - his timing is questionable but what he said I thought was on the money.
