Different figures flying around everywhere with this. Potentially going up to €1m
that’s unreal… shows some ambition and a bit of speculate to accumulate
Wonder if it signals Manwanhises departure.

Quoted as 350,000 with add on that can take it 900,000,beleive it or not.
We've done well out of add ons over the years so we cant complain when its done to us. However £600,000 add o aint too bad if we sell him for major money.

We gave it a go but in reality we were well beaten by a much better team, after scoring a brilliant goal after 2 minutes we never looked like scoring again for the next 94 mins, to be honest Paulsen kept it respectable.
The 2nd goal was a stupid action by Moorman a stonewall penalty, but how var thought it was a red card is beyond me, the officials and var were very poor tonight. A 2-1 defeat would have been a very good result , so the 3rd goal with the last action of the game was a right boot in the baws.
There is no disgrace in being beaten by a much better team, Freiburg are a class above anything we will face in the premiership this season, Ginter is a world cup winner with 51 caps for Germany .
So half time in the tie, 3-1 down and one of our key players wont be going to Germany, we still have a chance, albeit a very slim one so i hope we enjoy it and live the dream for 90 mins..
After we beat Helsinki, it was 4 trophies to play for but this week has been rough and i expect the trophy chase will be down to two by next Thursday.
Realistically it was 2 its now 1

It's not often we are going to produce a lennon Miller or eli just, could be a good few years in fact
and it could be 10 years before we are back in Europe. Our transfer dealing have sustained us for years without Europe and that will continue to be the case. Otherwise the club would abandon that operating model.

A million gor not even getting into league phase of conference ain't to be sniffed at
If we'd got fuck all from Europe this season it would have made bugger all difference to our squad and infrastructure plans , that is covered by our operating model and player dealings as it should be cos Europe is a periodic bonus.
Lets just call it quits Id rather we won a cup that appear a few rounds in Europe, you think otherwise. You wont change my mind and I wont change yours.

Did I not just say runs in Europe make us money which allows to buy better players?
and as I said we can do that with or without Europe. Europe is a bonus. Our transfer market dealing are what will sustain us.

If we somehow manage to do anything v Freiburg, its been a gamble worth taking. It's very unlikely but if we had lost players for Thursday people would say mgr should have rested them v Stenny.
The league Cup is a Diddy Cup, Europe whatever happens is going to make us at least a million so its hardly worth f*ckin.
As Im fed up saying if looking at the balance sheet is what motivates some in their support thats fine. In 30 years you can all get copies of the clubs accounts to show the grandweans.

Apart from you maybe, nobody ever remembers or cares how much cash the club earned in a season, but win a trophy or a title etc and its remembered and discussed for generations, especially at s club of our size as has been said earlier " thats our cake" a run in Europe is the reward for the team being the star bakers and producing a great cake over the season.
100% correct

A positive balance sheet allows us to invest in the team and infrastructure in a way that a league Cup trophy never will
What , in the main, will allow us to invest in the team and infrastructure is our dealings in the player market. Europe will invariably be the exception rather than the rule and will always be dwarfed by what would could and can get by decent dealing in the transfer market. Europe has and always will be a very periodical bonus. If you are happy for us to go another 40/50 years and win absolutely fuck all but we have a positive balance sheet I'm pleased for you cos you will get your wish. I would like the occasional silverware to celebrate and that could be done with or without Europe.

I would rather wait until we get the right players that fit the system. Unfortunately we've been dealt a really bad injury list too which has meant we have had to throw in young guys who aren't really ready yet.
I'm sure AJ knows they aren't ready yet but he can hardly come out and say this in public when he knows he has to rely on them in order to rest the first eleven when he needs to.
If the rumours about Priestman being out for a while too are right then thats another hammer blow but may have been due to how many games hes had to play so early in the season.
The injury situation is quite ridiculous.

What if the choice was £1.2 million from 3 rounds in Europe or losing a League Cup quarter-final to Hearts? There are a lot of people assuming we'll definitely lose to Freiburg, but we would have had a real chance to win the League Cup.
It doesn't always work that way.
As I've said i don't support Motherwell to look at the balance sheet. You are right no one knows how games would pan out but Id still rather be in with a chance of winning some silverware than getting papped out of Europe by Freiburg... so shoot me because the balance sheet is not what I prioritise over possible silverware.

The club is in the best place its ever been...Id take everything thats happened over the past 18months or so, over winning the league cup, without question
whats happened over the last 18 months would not be affected in anyway shape or form by us treating the League Cup more seriously today.

Makes it more annoying now that old firm drawn against each other. Would have been great chance to get to semi
Would it, cos we'd have been Rangers number in the draw had we gone through so wed have got Celtic.

Of course Rangers and Celtic draw each other
We'd have been number 6 had we got through we'd have got Celtic at Fir Park

Absolutely not. We've already earned twice as much financially in Europe as we would if we actually won the League Cup.
In a season where we aren't in Europe, I'd absolutely agree that the League Cup is a priority, but when we have more lucrative European games, and we currently sit two games away from the actual group stages and the chance to earn millions? It's not even comparable.
We need to agree to differ. I don't support Motherwell to watch the balance sheet, I watch Motherwell in the hope one day Ill live long enough to see us win a trophy again. We will lose over two legs to Freiburg , yes we will pocket £1.2 million from the European run. But if I had to choose between the League Cup in the Fir Park Trophy Cabinet and £500,000 or £1.2 million from 3 round in Europe Ill take the League Cup every day of the week.

Squad rotation only works if you have players of simlar or greater ability to bring in, we dont have that luxury.
Booth, Whyte and Ross are nowhere near ready to be starting 1st team games and add to that Wilson who is brutal and Vogt and TJ who contributed feck all its no wonder we were brutal.
Lets be honest AJ fecked up today with that starting 11, 1st half they were running sbout like headless chickens, nobody wanting to go forward, so all we did was pass the ball accross the back line, Stenny just sat there knowing there was no threat
Correct. We need to realise Europe is the icing on the cake. The League Cup and the Scottish cup are the fucking cake.
The perennial fuck ups in the cups is depressing. We get to a position where we avoid the group stages and we fuck up against the easiest team left in the draw. That is entirely on the manager today. Disgraceful.

Did not think he was that great. Seem to favour the visitors and gave alot of very soft fouls, especially 1st half. He improved slightly in 2nd half.
In saying that you are correct to say he was streets ahead of the scottish officials! Standards are declining even with all the tv recordings they need to study, learn and improve.
Oh he wasnt perfect he was just streets ahead of the shite we suffer every week

I need to comment on the Referee.
In the two European ties the referees have been streets ahead of the utter shite that passes for refereeing in Scotland. Let the game flow. Compare it to that fud who refereed the Falkirk game. Most Scottish games the chat after the game revolves around the referees incompetence. Two European ties and no such discussions.

That is as competent and controlled a game as we've ever played in Europe. For someone whose has been totally unfussed by European games over the last 30 years because of some inept dire performances I really enjoyed that. We were as close to our best performances last year. No failures quality performance. Did anyone hear Andy Halliday say we got £7 million for Just on Sportsound tonight.

Anyone think we are likely to keep Maswanhise this season as interest appears to have tailed off.

I know they play different position just wondering if the potential cash coming in persuaded us to push the boat out a bit further.
