Yes. Overall, I found it cumbersome and confusing to have to constantly switch between 1) comments received in the initial consultation 2) proposed changes in light of that consultation and 3) the comprehensive detailed proposals and D) the the actual voting form when casting my vote. The information provided in 1), 2) and 3) was useful however; it was just the way in which it was presented. Specific examples? A) I agreed with the proposal to simplify adult membership tiers but wasn't clear about the status of legacy members who had paid in considerable sums in some cases; sometimes in a single lump sum. Why should they be allocated en masse to the 1886 tier and not to a higher tier? B) Code of conduct: I agree one should be introduced but don't agree with specific wording about "perceived" bullying, harassment and discrimination etc. Either its bullying / harassment / discrimination or its not. For the record, bullying / harassment / discrimination etc is totally unacceptable. Someone's perception can be wrong. I get though that this is a wider societal issue. Suggested text seems to say that it doesn't matter what someone does or says rather its whether another party is offended by it that matters. C) Major votes policy. I agree with its introduction but think that 75% is too high. I would have thought that 55/60/65% was more appropriate. That still represents a clear majority. Also, the triggers for a major vote are too loose and ambiguous. For example, what is the meant by a "large scale" financial decision? Is the defintion £1m or £2m or maybe £5m? Lines have to be drawn somewhere though. From memory, I may not have recalled everything 100% but thats the gist of my concerns. To put this in context though, well done to the those on the Society Board who drafted these documents. I know from bitter experience just how difficult and time consuming it is and the ramifications of defining a term loosely that only becomes apparent a later date, when some party takes issue with it.

Scottish football is stagnant . All the usual home grown managers play same type of shit football tactically. Learned from the same books probably . One team plays one way so the other sets up to negate that. This along with playing each other 4 times if not more a season does make for boring stuff , boring managers with no room to trying something different . It's boring as fuk to watch. The majority of games in the league now are well below the standard they should be .Maybe someone from outside can bring something different along and bring back a bit of excitement back into a Saturday. I live in hope. And by the by this attitude is reflected in the National team as well. The manager makes watching paint dry seem exciting.

Your pre season routine is not going well, I have the fear for the season ahead if that's the standard 😬.

You could be right regards the minimal time he has spent at each of his Clubs. But only time will tell if the same thing happens with us. Hopefully he will turn out to be the long term solution we need. Of course we could have gone 'safer' by appointing either of the two you mention. Some no doubt would have preferred we had gone down that route. You also highlighted that you go along to games to support the Club that is in your blood, even though on most occasions you do not expect to be entertained. I wonder exactly how much you would have have enjoyed what either Neilson or Docherty would have dished up entertainment wise? Wimmer was a breath of fresh air and for the first time in what seemed like forever I actually enjoyed going to matches. It was no longer a chore which I felt obliged to carry out. So I was disappointed family circumstances brought about his departure. But I still don't know if he was any good as a Manager. Comparing him to Askou, it strikes me that Askou has more of a track record and might have more to offer. But every appointment is a gamble so we will just have to wait and see how things work out. Maybe come the end end of the year we can revisit whether going to watch Motherwell is less of a habit and a bit more of an entertainment. For both our sakes I hope it is.

Neither up nor down with that news.

A lot of work has been invested in this exercise so well done to those behind it. Constructive criticism is absolutely fine but it will be soul destroying if only a handful of folk bother to participate.

I’d explain the sarcasm in my post, but I didn’t bring my crayons.
