If you look closely at his stats, Vale only started five games for Lincoln and scored two goals. On at least three of his eleven sub league appearance, Lincoln City were down to ten men when he came on, or a minute after..
Do these stats mean he's any good? No, but it's context. More context than a simple 'he scored two in seventeen appearances for Lincoln, he must be shit'.
As with most of our signings, we won't know til we see him play...
Doesn't matter a fuck what he did yesterday, it's what he does tomorrow that matters.

I'm serious. We've kept 2 clean sheets in the past 24 games. Our defence is rank rotten and we don't seem to be adding anyone.
Our striking options are Bair and Vale both of whom are poor players. As things stand our form is unlikely to change and thus squad won't win a playoff.
You mean our form that is the 7th best in the league over the last 6 games.

It's worth bearing in mind that if his goalscoring record was impressive, we'd be nowhere near him.
Exactly and he hasn't exactly played tons of games in his senior career.

If we don't sign a decent striker in the next 24 hours I think we will be relegated.
Every club in the country is looking for a decent striker. We cannot offer the deals that get proven goal scorers. We will always be taking a chance on someone.

St Johnstone are about to sign a striker from the Northern Premier League, delving way down the tiers in England for talent.
I feel quite calm about it all as it's not unusual for us to get many bodies in on transfer deadline day.
Exactly this pant wetting goes on every feckin window. We do not offer deals players will jump at. We offer deals that will get someone when their agent has no more spinning to do. I e. Last minute of the window. Mind when SK took over the same pant wetting went in on the January window and we signed 8/9 players.

You need some consistency a brand new team will no doubt have it's number of bombscares.
Some of the players are fine to have about in a squad format eg Mugabi.
I wouldn't let Mugabi carry the bags to training.

Spittal for one. McGinn for two.
Try sign Gent on a permanent but could be beyond us.
I'd offer Kelly a contract to ponder but on less terms than he is on.The six are Casey, Blaney, Davor, Miller, Paton and Bair.
Spittal and McGinn are the only two I'd be disappointed to lose , the rest are all very much in the couldn't give a monkeys for me and some like Mugabi I'd be horrified if we gave another contract to. I'd prefer a complete rebuild in the summer not an easy task but that's what the managers paid for.

So we have 6 contracted players for next season. Plus if we want, Halliday.
That's absolutely shocking.
Frankly how many of them would you be desperate to resign. For me a couple at most. This is a double edged sword. Its a bonus so we can clear out tons of deadwood and start afresh. However our piss poor precarious league position means its difficult to get players signed up because we dont know what division we will be in so the finances are uncertain.

They need to get the PCA binned
St Mirren fans saying Robinson will announce two pre contract agreements after Window closes if one of them is Spittal do him and the club seriously think he wont get pelters until the seasons end potentially affecting his performances. PCA should not allowed to be made public

St Mirren do seem to have some cash to throw about just now.
They have seen a big improvement in their home crowds. They now average 6500. So at an Average of £18 they will take in >£300,000 more than us a season so will have bigger spending power than us and if they use it for guys like James Scott that will do for me 😁

I think If anything James Scott has regressed since leaving us. I really liked him at fir park, thought he had loads of potential but it seems to have went t1ts up for him.
reading that Exeter fans had taken a big dislike to him and booed him on when he come on as sub the other week. Not seen that since the days of Andy Roddie.
we may well be a dodged bulletI wasn't that convinced with h him when we had him first time round but he was young so potential to develop , which I don't think he did. Was utter shite at Hibs. Quite delighted if St Mirren outbid us on this one. Watched the Hearts Dundee game last night. Curtis main was the pitch 28 mins and looked guff ,another bullet dodged .

ah heard from a good source he said his cheerios and went today ish, ie youth team player
If he's away no point getting our knickers in a twist about it. Thems the breaks. Kettlewell certainly getting the chance to rebuild , is he up to it? Who knows time will tell , certainly his signings in the summer don't fill me with much hope.

Or vastly underrated by some.
We live in the social media world these days where every player can only be ranked as brilliant or crap.
Nuance died with Twitter.
It's amazing how all these useless players are so easily spotted by the fans, but manage to fool coaches and managers who have spent their entire adult lives in the professional game and whose livlihood depends on fielding their best available team every week.
So when you look at a player and think he's pish, you accept the guys ok cos the manager thinks so. Football is littered with ex managers who thought they knew what a good player looks like.
If I accept you view I'll need to reassess my view of Bob Malcolm , John Henry, Joe McLeod , John Davies, Derek Townsley etc ... They must all have been good cos the manager and coaches picked them and played them and they all knew best cos they'd spent a lifetime in the game.. I don't need to be a window cleaner to know a windows clean and I don't need to be a football manager to know a players pish.

That may be true but there aren't an abundance of better options in our squad. You can argue that it says something about our squad, but it is true...
That's why we pay the manager to find better than Slattery, the bench mark ain't too high to beat.

A few folk on Pie & Bovril saying Slattery's out for the season, or longer.
Sorry for him personally but will be glad if thats him played his last ever game for us. Vastly overrated by many of our fans.

If people think that the video is the big idea then they need to take a breath and think. The big idea is to gain external investment and interest in the club, and the video should be seen as bait, which it is. I concur that it's amateurish, but I think that's the point. It's wound most Motherwell fans up and got others laughing at the club. All press is good press, etc. As I said above, the video has gone viral, so job done.
I can accept that if the video isn't the end of it but what else is being done?

I think it’s pretty clear we are not a good investment. As I mentioned earlier, I believe, we are really looking for someone or a group, to support the club financially to the extent that we don’t have to worry about going out of existence and have financial backing to see us through any hard times.
In effect we are looking for some wealthy person to gift us money without having control. They will be knocking the doors down for that deal.

I think if we are all being honest the vast majority of us look at the Wrexham situation with envious eyes. Wrexham is a similar size town, similar size club similar down on its luck town, mining, steel etc etc
they have two owners who I do think have genuinely fell in love with the football and town. If there’s a remote chance of something similar happening to us, you’d be an idiot to say no.
but I do think this video is pretty much tongue in cheek and is just trying to attract anyone to invest or more Motherwell fans to join the well society.I very much doubt that Will Smith will be clambering to get a flight to Glasgow any time soon. Our luck we will get Joey Barton wanting to invest.
Wrexham ain't a similar size club , we wouldn't get 10/12000 every week even if we win the league.

Huge fucking swing and a miss for me. If this is the big marketing campaign they have been talking about then it seems way out of touch, low budget and all in a bit of a rid neck.
Exactly, this is amateurish in the extreme. If this is the big idea we are fucked in the long run.

Have listened to the interview I thought he was very clear and answered the questions thoughtfully unlike politicians he actually answered the questions .
There weren’t too many surprises in there no matter how hard some of my fellow supporters on here tried to tell us .
If I’ve to single out one bit of criticism it would be they should have joined up the Chairman’s speech with this one .
The gap of. few weeks has led to a lot of speculation that grew arms and legs and that could have been avoided .If I am correct St Mirren have a fans society of such which runs parallel with Kibble and it seems to work
More investment is the key here and it would be money we could rely on if times got tough but also let us gamble a bit more on better players knowing there’s a decent safety net if it goes a bit wrong . That for me would be a massive help .
Re the comms thing I’m on his side .
Possibly a vanity project for Burrows albeit I think he thought it was the way to go .
Im with Weir on that one the small pot of money we have could be better spent on the playing side than trying to win trophies at annual comms events .
The BBCs resume of the video states Weir confirmed
"But Weir admitted a significant part of recent transfer income, including the £3.25m fee for David Turnbull, had been spent".
Did I miss something in that video I'm sure I never heard Weir make such a Statement.

Alan Nixon, football writer for critically acclaimed newspaper The Sun... 😅 has linked Motherwell, Dundee and St. Mirren with interest in bringing Curtis Main back to Scotland. If true, I would be in the "thanks, but no thanks" category, but given the paper he works for, I'm inclined to think this may be another instance of lazy journalism.
Me too he's pish.

Aberdeen got shot of Curtis Main cos they thought he was shite, St Mirren fans would have him back in a heartbeat.
