It's amazing how the mood of a game can create that kind of chaos. And if Forbes hadn't missed the pen, we would never have had the pleasure of that finish.

I certainly fit the signing criteria, ageing badly, immobile with bad knees. I’m a shoe in to get signed.

Great news, Hopefully that adds a few zeros to his transfer fee over the summer.

Sometimes I think I must be looking at the wrong league table, because my copy has us sitting in 7th with Ross County having to score 8 points more than us to overtake. I know it's been a poor season, but the league table doesn't lie, and we are at the very least, equal best of a bad bunch.

That was the pfa awards that announced him as a finalist, he did win the spfl young player of the year which is a different award. I think Ignore me, I'm talking garbage sorry

Just googled and if you call the club you can set up a standing order and spread the cost

Yes they do. My brother pays his this way and I'm pretty sure it's interest free

On Lennon, I do not believe his value will be influenced either way by his recent displays for us or by any awards he might receive. The sort of clubs that can afford the fee we will be asking for tend to look deeper than the surface. How he performs for a struggling Motherwell side, or whether he picks up an award in Scotland, will not concern them in the slightest. Their interest will be driven by data and detailed analysis. They will be far more focused on whether he has the potential to progress with better facilities, different coaching, and stronger players around him. Those elements are likely to have a far greater impact on his valuation than anything else.

I see Lukas Jutkewicz has announced his retirement at the end of the season https://x.com/MotherwellFC/status/1916900216411693119?t=N2Hnzk0YImoDyyT1jZ1T-Q&s=19 15 years since the 6-6 game, his goal is up there with some of the greatest goals i have seen for Motherwell, what a night that was.

Im in the keep him camp

A quote for player insurance for a footballer playing for us will be astronomical. Not a risk of injury, a dead cert for an injury.

This season I’ve thought that Cameron has bossed the games against us so he’s someone we need to nullify also.

I know people who would break their own arm to AVOID spending more time with their kids 😁

What concerns me isn't about any individual who's recruiting , more the general direction we've gotten into. Over the last decade we've transitioned from bringing in 7-8 new players and regularly brining in 16-20. There's a lot less of the younger crew coming through on a regular basis and we're going from full overhaul one season to a next. We've always had budget constraints , for me we're being really wasteful and the approach needs to change.

It could be argued that its most important function has been to protect the club from the actions and desires of its executive board members last year.

I never thought that the Well Society's most important function would become protecting the club from a large section of its own fans, but there you go.

I think before this turns into a binfire, its important to stress that support for the Well Society and fan ownership doesnt have to mean that you can see no wrong in them or that there isnt anything that can be done better. Similarly, being pro investment doesnt mean that you think all investment is good. FWIW, I was a little concerned by the Society's change of position on investment in their recent pre AGM blurb. However, that point was addressed at the AGM and I left feeling more re-assured by the response. Its not that the Society Board or Club Board are turning their back on outside investment, they just think there is more that can be done within the club currently to grow revenue from within and put structures in place that will attract better offers of investment. That seems emminently sensible to me. I also dont think there is anyone on the WS Board or Club Board that think they have all the answers. I think anyone with vision or a particular skillset that could help the club progress in those areas would be welcomed. Hence my highlighting of the upcoming vacancies on the WS Board......

Do you think a football club should live outwith its means? If not, it doesnt matter whether the club is fan owned or not. Its the job of the club board to raise and expand existing revenue streams so we have a bigger budget to work with. We have a new chairman, directors and a CEO to deal with that. Its the Society's job to generate sufficient cash reserves to ensure that should the time come we have a big enough overdraft facility to satisfy the governing bodies and deal with any shortfall from operational revenues (apologies for any clumsy terminology, Im not an business person). Any investor is looking for a return on their money, its not free cash. Thats why Im 100% against any investor having majority control of the club as they could literally bleed us dry. Nothing wrong with encouraging investment thats a win win for the club and investor, but thats a whole lot more difficult to find. I would have thought after last summer we might have put all this kind of chat to bed. Its been less than 12 months since we saw off Barmack. Look at the changes that have occured structurally at the club during that time. I think those responsible need a little bit of credit for that and maybe a bit of support in moving onto the next phase?
