I'm hearing rumours at the valley and on charlton forums that Karl Robinson will be having a mass clear out, has already drawn up his wishlist and is very keen on signing Louis Moult. Louis would excel in league 1 and in my opinion, clubs like charlton or bradford would be a more sensible move like Jamie Murphy has proven. It's a question of money of course and as much as I'd love to get to watch him every other week at the valley, I don't think they'd pay the money we want.

El Grew, a well structured argument. I agree with most of it though not all. Just for my own understanding, in what way was the manner of McGhees departure handled with disgraceful ineptitude as indeed how we have gone about the recruitment of his replacement? I have to agree with Sinjy, I haven't seen anything done by the club or reported by the press as having been done by the club as being shambolic, disgraceful, unprofessional or illegal. I do accept though that there are many who are far more in the know than me. So it's a genuine question.

That's fan power for you.

By the time he reached us, not really. We were his last chance. I remember him arriving with a degree of expectation but in reality, i just about remember him as another one off the conveyor belt of Tommy McLean signings. He was forever shipping players in and out.

I've remained silent throughout the entire 'McGhee out' and 'who's next' debates on here, but having read all the comments, I am genuinely surprised by the degree of absurdity freely on display. In pure stoater terms, there's been some amount o' pish getting slavvered. Good luck Robbo. You're going to need it. You're now in charge of a disjointed squad in a relegation battle that has a support that (if this forum is anything to go by) have little or no clue of where the club truly sits in footballs economic and job market and are in the main, never going to be happy with anything you or the club will do. Robbo, you have a tremendous task ahead and despite my open mind, it would appear you're already fucked !!!

I don't disagree that the quality of football in Scotland is perhaps even at an all time low but Inverness and Accies are not non league equivalent standard. I don't necessarily disagree with your Sheffield Utd point either but by the same respect, I don't imagine Sheffield Utd will struggle in the championship next season either. The gap is not as wide as you think. Also, as we have learned to our cost, there is a considerable difference between cast off and out of contract.

[quote name="weeyin" post="489632" timestamp= (Based on the English Championship games I watch most weeks, however, I'd say the the bottom half of that league is about SPFL level). Hey Weeyin, who do you go and watch in the championship?

With the greatest of respect Big Wispy Flossy, unless you've watched a lot of lower league football, how can you legitimately compare? Yes there have been several non league players coming to the SPL but that doesn't necessarily mean that we are at non league level. There are wages being offered by some non league teams that cannot be matched by some league 1 teams never mind league 2. Although I haven't been to a championship match this season, Ive been to see games in league 1, league 2 and national league this season and hand on heart, the difference in quality isn't as wide as you'd think.

If people are serious in the belief that all out attack for the remainder of the season will be our saviour then they are truly delusional. There are very few squads in history that have had the ability to go toe to toe in that manner game in game out and this present Motherwell squad isn't one of them. If what people are really after is a bit more of an attacking approach to match day strategy than the dire humdrum we have endured this season, then that is a wholly different ask. I am confident we will survive but it won't be by outscoring the opposition like a Sunday league team.

That reads like a trade union election address

Aye, if you want to buy a Vauxhall

Absolutely bang on!!!!

Alex McLeish is no stranger to being pished.

Wrong about what?

There's been a slow and steady 'boycott' for a number of years now. There's been a number of reasons why, some logical some downright daft (like blaming it on not liking McGhee). I've been saying it for a while, that transition to fan ownership meant the dawn of a new reality. Like it or lump it, I just do not see things positively changing for Motherwell or indeed Scottish football. I took my boy to his first match today and it's painful to say it but I'm finding myself showing more and more interest in following Charlton Athletic than Motherwell in exile. He's got the bug from today and in the same way that I fell in love with the well, he will become an Addick diehard. Charlton are a club with similar issues to ours so there ain't no glory hunting being done....it's just that from the outside looking in, there's a scent of death from Scottish football and a boycott won't make a blind bit of difference.

No, what it means is that regardless of whether you are right or wrong, you have all the moral fortitude and social etiquette of a piss stained wino. Do you still agree?

I have to say, I do find your work very entertaining. You have the whole thick as pig shit, purple nosed, green bottle in brown paper bag carrying ranty man caricature off to a tea.

I can't remember his departure being acrimonious but it was a long time ago. I've just had a quick google search but couldn't find anything. What happened?

I blame Maggie Thatcher!!!!

Don't bite, it's exactly what he/she is looking for. Just let the empty can rattle.

The SPL is dying and a lottery for results but Motherwell will not be relegated and McGhee will not be sacked. I said several months ago on here that due to our financial restrictions, we must become accustomed to aspiring to mediocrity at best and that many on here have unrealistic expectations of our club. We have a team that is mediocre at best. The club can only afford to sign from a league that is mediocre at best. It's been said on here before, whether the McGhee haters like it or not, at the moment, McGhee is still exceeding the league position our budget prescribes. Yes, the football is poor but that is also the case at every other fixture in the SPL. We are not exclusive in our mediocrity.

Isn't this the final year of the macron contract?

That's 3 consecutive goals where their/only goal threat is allowed to drift unmarked

Aye

I fucking knew that wee arsehole would send one of ours off. I've never disliked a referee so much since Davie Syme!!!
