Most of them ae what used to be quoted as "open mouth before engaging brain". Nowadays read Keyboard. Even had one person asking if the WS was trying to takeover the club.

I do not believe time is ticking for actions on investment options. Investors or I now see being referred as "Strategic Partners " is not so important as the Club management structure being resolved. In my opinion it is also more important for the investment to be correct even if it take weeks or months. We are i a reasonably sound financial situation.

After reading the BBC report and I quote" prodigious teenager Lennon Miller's growing influence" how can anyone vote otherwise.😋

Agree very difficult choice from the list. Some candidates made themselves known at the AGM. Others identified them selves by giving name when asking a question, Obvious to me al least that some of the candidates have already been active as volunteers on the workstreams.

This topic has shown we all have opinions on reasons for non attendance so i thought I would add my tuppence worth. i am 86 years old, both myself and partner have heart issues, she is also confined to wheelchair so carer has to be available in emergency. It also means that most home tasks are mine. home for me is a 70 mile round trip to Fir Park yet at the beginning of the season I look forward to going to the football and keen to go the League Cup games. Elgin, Annan, Dumfries. Montrose just a few examples. Grounds I have never been to must be the attraction. I can drive but refrain from driving 100+ miles twice on the same day so I stay overnight or week end. i have supported Well for 75 of my 86 years and during that time I have seen some great football, ie Ancell Babes (still didn't win anything). What switches me off is the mostly crap football on show under GA and SK. Partick and RC displays have already questioned my enthusiasm for the Hearts game. Rant over

All we need now is the 2 Directors on the Board supposedly to enact the interests of the WS to follow.. It is my intention to raise this at the AGM wording along the lines of support for the takeover with or without the WS view.

Next weeks team sheet by numbers 1 or 13, 2, 11, 38 and others from the hat And if I was Miller I would be knocking on the door asking for a transfer. The way he is being made to play will ruin him.

Agree the Society board should have a range of views but for me once making their recommendation for a rejection by a majority vote absolutely clear should not be free to back acceptance by another group.

Do you see him being removed as Chair and remaining as a member of the Board. I too have a healthy respect for differing opinions but not publicly as in this case.

We currently have 7 WS Board members. One, Markus Schieren is NOT seeking re-election. Two, Derek Watson IS seeking re-election. The other 5 are in their 3 year elected cycle so the Board member who was in favour of the Barmack proposal will need to be forced to resign or they will be in place for the next two years. Will ordinary members present at the AGM act accordingly ?.

This topic has me believing it is time we got back to proper Youth football and get rid of all tinkering the SPFL / SFA created the last few years. Got a lot more to say on this subject so possibly a separate topic required.

Was a bit brutal at times against us yet ball control at feet was also good at times. Was he a defender with Well Academy ?.

The last figures I was given at end February was around 3800 including Junior members. Around 1500 members contributed financially by monthly DD. Not aware of any update since.

What concerns me is he seems on the evidence of admittedly only 3 games. It is a goalkeeper, any one striker supported by Halliday and Paton.

Well I am one of the names on the post card and frankly less interested in his business cv, more interested in MFC cv and his performance for MFC. I might have a great cv as a road sweeper but would never make chairman of a football club. No disrespect to road sweepers intended Football managers go to interviews with great cv's., why are so many sacked ? Because it is what you put in in practice not on paper.

Been reading Tommy Cooper books during the close season ?.

Is he out of contract ?. Get him back to Fir Park.

I understand and share your frustration (maybe not the best word) but lets wait until the results of the two votes are available. If they go as I think most of us want to go then surely there has to be recrimination at both board level. We also will need elections firstly to the WS including a new chairperson. That board and its chair as 71% owner has to assert authority over all sections of the Club as it has not done so far.

They did say if not received by Thursday contact them so I guess need a few day to email every member. Checked junk mail ?

My money is on PM 22nd July, each way bet 23rd.

Further to my earlier post I would like to add £3m ie £1m per year is around 5 times the current financial support WS receives so its plan to increase income would still be needed even with Barmack on board.

Hope your vote is a bit clearer.

The one paragraph in this puts in a nutshell for me and I must admit I had missed it. Wild sheep outlines investment of almost £4 in 3 years of which the split is £900k from Barmack RESULTING in £3m from WS. Quite clearly if we can generate £3m we do not need Wild Sheep.

Yes I did see it. However the point I was I was trying to make is finding aa acceptable way of achieving the goal.

Like this ! I will do the same. How many more fans can afford to consider similar action ?. Just think if the monthly contribution of £180k pa could be doubled we would be more than halfway to matching EB 300 k. We need to also find a way to encourage WS members not currently contributing to consider restarting. I do realise that not everyone is in a position financially to do it.
