Or even better sign him up to play,he would still be miles better than the guff options we have had this season.

Hi All. Just a wee quick note to thank everyone who took the time to vote for me. Was not to be this year and congrats to the 2 guys voted in. They will do a tremendous job. I’ll be back.

Getting paid at Scottish Premiership wage levels over a career probably still makes you richer than one big move at 18 and then disappearing into a big club youth system never to be seen again. The key is giving youth players first team opportunities and the chance to actually develop a professional career. If we do that we will retain quality youth players, perhaps not all of them but some of them and maybe even most of them. With increasing costs and dwindling support there is basically no long term future without youth development. It should be central in our medium to long term planning at the club.

I take great pride in the fact my Dad knew Andy Ritchie who played roughly the same time He always spoke highly of him and said he was a Well diehard , they chatted in the Bookies regularly back in the day

The 3-0 win over rangers was my 11th birthday, that and getting pac man for the atari made it a perfect day!! Ps. For those under 30....Atari was the x-box, PlayStation of its day

Aye all right youngster!! 🤪

I'm still recovering from him being my PE Teacher. Brutal.

Killie fans in meltdown with Naisy being linked. Lazy option if true plus no compensation, maybe wee bitter Bazza would be an option also 🤣🤣 Not Kettlewell as first fan that shouts at him and he's off (let it go grizzlyg) 🤣🤣

Could we maybe re-sign wee Dougie to run the club bars / hospitality instead?

You can find someone saying almost literally anything on social media. If we re-posted all of the wilder ravings of the worst of the moonhowlers on here we'd all go mad too.

We played some good football during the McCall/Brown era but lost massive amounts of money. It's simply not an option as a club model in the modern day.

Totally agree with more stability at the club both on and off the field, we should be building a team to last instead of replacing a majority of players every year. The problem with youth is that from an academy of say 15 to 20 players you will be lucky if you get 1 or 2 that make the grade to become 1st team players. If they are good enough they will get their chance but we will always need experienced players to form the bulk of the team, this approach is pretty much he same for every team in the league

where? I've read every single comment on Motherwell FC's Facebook for the last week and not one single person has said this. I mean some of the players don't fair well and there is grumbles - but there is no one calling for him to be sacked.

Na, just along the M8 I think 🤔

Be nice to get a win and finish the season on a positive. Given most of us wont be in Dingwall it is likely to be the last time we see Lennon Miller in a Motherwell jersey. Its worth turning out, even if only to give the lad the send off he deserves.

Journalists googling 'free agents who played in the Austrian league in the last few years'? Just need to hope that it works out better than fishing in the Australian league...

Must be sunstroke 🤣🤣

A win would see us secure a higher league finish, with the associated prize money, which could potentially boost the budget for a new squad for next season.

Facebook is for folk that have too much time on their hands. If it wasn't for Facebook most of those people would just be ignored and left alone in their bedrooms.

Simple answer? Don't go on Facebook. And if you do, be prepared for nonsense. It's been that way since as far back as I can recall.

While the signings so far might not be the major 'clear out and replace" style revolution that some might see as a requirement for next season, it is perhaps worth looking at the situation as a whole before discounting it completely. For a start, Wimmer has a background in coaching rather than management, so the whole buying and selling aspect is probably new to him, and an unknown. If he believes that there is a good chance that he can improve the players and performances of current players individually and the team collectively through coaching, then he needs to be given a chance to do it. I think it is fair to say that most of the players have, for whatever reason, underperformed this season. It must be within Wimmers remit to try and get more out of them as there is undoubtedly some quality there. It also should not be forgotten that all players can improve and that a change in environment brought about by new people at the helm and revised tactics and ideas can work wonders on some individuals. I sometimes despair at the speed with which certain players are simply written off as not up to the required standard after one or two games. If Wimmer has the vision to see us getting more out of players already on our books, then perhaps it should be seen as being less of a gamble than trying to replace them from the limited market that we operate within. He will need time, patience and the support of our fans while he attempts this. I hope he gets it. That is not to say that I am against some comings and goings within the squad. He inherited a bloated and unbalanced group of players, caused at least partly by a horrendous run of injuries. Once the loanees are returned to their parent clubs and the out of contract players head off to pastures new, I will get as excited as anyone over the possibilities that new faces will bring. Give them, and Wimmer, a decent chance and let's see where we end up.

I was looking at the Motherwellnet.com data

I think it's safe to say that the transfer activity this summer will make the Harri Kampman signing purge of 1998 look like a quiet pre-season!
