This time last year I was swithering about renewing my ST for this season . Football was atrocious and coupled with the toxic atmosphere when we went behind in a game I felt enough was enough . Some of it justified but some completely over the top. I've said on a previous post if the New Board /Chairman had not come in with a vision on how to change things then my days visiting FP would have been few and far between . The vision and bravery to go the route we have is nothing short of incredible . Could easily have bottled it after Winner but instead doubled down more . Hats off to everyone involved in the decision making . After a few league cup game where new style of play was being implemented some of the usual roasters were screaming from the stand to revert to the old style . Patience 0 on a scale from 0-10. Jens intervention at that stage calming the roasters down and educating us at the same time really helped . By time Rangers home game came along you could see signs of progress . From then to now the development of players and team collectively has been astonishing . After 58 years watching the ups and downs of our club I can honestly say hand on heart although maybe not the best ever players we've had i'm struggling to remember a better team playing better football . Truly remarkable turnaround

I disagree. Just has been exceptional for us.

The massive shift for me is the belief we can beat anyone we play, if we do what we set out to do. Mccall (i think ot was) reguarly used to come out with the phrase "we need to be at our best and they need to have an off day" with regards to old firm games, and with that attitude we are generally beaten before a ball is kicked. We just don't seem to have any fear nowadays. In addition the bump in attendances is something i would never have expected. 8k vs st mirren on saturday, a year ago that would have been ~5k. JBA's fresh approach, so far, has transformed our club. Massive credit to the decision makers who appointed him, and long may it continue.

Plus a 1 year option on our part.

All I ever ask of Motherwell FC is that we are the best we possibly can be. And for years under various regimes from Robinson latterly through Alexander to Kettlewell I didn’t think we were anywhere near it. There was no vision or desire to play entertaining football it very much just felt like a case of huff and puff our way through matches and hope that that will be enough to keep us in the top flight. This season has felt different in so many ways. I was very sceptical when Jens was appointed and although I had concerns during the early months of the season when we looked incapable of winning matches you could see that we now had a manager who had a plan on how he wanted us to play football and over the past month or so I think we’ve seen that plan come to fruition. And it’s been brilliant to watch and going to games now no longer feels like the chore it did last season, instead you can’t wait until the next game. We will never have the finished article when it comes to managers or teams but it’s so refreshing seeing us play good flowing football and believing that we can beat anyone on our day.

If he ends up at St Mirren, the only thing he’ll be kicking is other players’ legs.

Indeed. Almost like they had a plan...

Sound suspiciously like the type of rumour you would start to offset the painful truth that your team cannot match the asking price for a player from a diddy club.

Won 2-1 and Miller got 80 mins

Or Fir Pakora, if you're on P&B

Aye, far too many ways to avoid it. Was it Hong Kong that used to have a flat rate many years ago? The idea was that there was a relatively low rate of tax, but everyone paid that same rate on everything. No exceptions, no avoidance schemes, big penalties if you tried to dodge it. Helped make sure everyone paid a fair share, and was easy to collect.

Going bankrupt after transferring assets should be outlawed. He will pay a pittance of his future income for a few years and that will be that. Meanwhile taxes increase to pay for basic services as tax revenue has decreased and costs keep going up.

Always find it mental how people who are very wealthy compared to the average can end up bankrupt. A lot of cowboys out in the financial advisory and investment space.

No sympathy at all. When it comes to paying tax, when you are told about a deal and a way to cut your tax bill that sounds too good to be true….. then it’s too good to be true. these guys have earned millions, just pay what you are meant to pay and you’ll still have millions. Dont try and join ridiculous film schemes or forestry schemes. Crazy behaviour when in general most of these footballers are financially illiterate. he’s also not paying any of the money back as he’s bankrupt. He’s saying he has no assets so it’s clear he’s put everything in his wife’s name to get away with not paying back a penny. That’s really tax evasion not avoidance. He’s lucky. Anyway I’ll come off my tax soap box

💩💩 Anyone else smell something???

DOH!! realised I SAID That the wrong way! Heh he

I still find it hard to believe he plays with forest. Just doesn't look like a player

Maybe they are failing to agree whether Kettlewell is allowed entrance. 🤣🤣
