Not a fan of this kit, it looks like a training top Im a claret band kinda guy

Again, an outstanding reply!!!

A very eloquent response with some good points which is where the discussion should be going, on your questions :- £25-30K isn't great but its something, Id hope with a renewed vigour we could get into 6 figures somehow with extra donations and investment. Id say the WS need full-time employees as that way the sole focus is on driving forward rather than trying to find the time to do so. Progress for me would be consistant top 6 and cup runs coupled with decent signings year on year. Now I fully understand that even with major investment none of the above is guaranteed but some solid optimism every year would be nice. You say we have achived this several times in the last 10 years but lately and certainly in the last 3 years we have regressed with football that at times has been difficult to watch. When I say they have done a decent job, I say this due to raising the funds they did, however to caveat that, Id say it was the fanbase as a whole who were united and most entities could have done exactly the same job as the WS given the cicumstances we as a club were faced with. I have little faith in them as they have been mostly silent for a number of years and stagnated, HOWEVER I am willing to wait and see what plans they have to drive us forward but I think some full-time workers with a degree of strength are a neccessity to have some focus. The divided fanbase was always going to happen but the degree of venom and belittling at times has been poor to see. We all want Motherwell to be a success story and can have a difference of opinion.

Totally agree, most workplaces in the UK would have granted time off for such an occasion, Motherwell FC are no different

No matter what the WS do, they won't increase the membership by a significant amount, we have a small hardcore fanbase, they may in the short-term increase it by hundreds but long-term I personally don't see it. The WS have done a decent job so far, no more than that and if people are happy to consistantly sit bottom 6 or even be relegated then we can continue as we are. For Motherwell to progress we NEED outside investment, maybe not the offer as it stands just now but we should be looking at ways to raise our profile abroad and at home. I have little confidence in the WS personally no matter how well meaning they are as an entity which is why we see our own fanbase divided right now. I am however full of optimism as we are at least having the discussion on how we move forward.

Totally agree, I wasn't suggesting it was a great deal, I was simply suggesting that to some its dead no matter what

I feel that no matter what EB does now, some fans have written this off

It wont be worth much on here mate, the usual folk will be out with their pitchforks giving OUR OWN players pelters before they have even pulled on the training gear as thats how they like to live their life. Makes you wonder why they even support Motherwell, its chronic behaviour

In fairness, it seems you won't be happy until the board and EB are in your livingroom presenting their business cases going over the tiny details!!!! I wish you'd just stop and take a breath, stop making assumptions and relax, you're going to give yourself a stroke.

Normally i 100% disagree with most that you say as I think you do most of it for a reaction but you are 101% spot on here!!!!!! Keep this up 😜

Just saw that. Again, on the face of it seems a decent pedigree with good potential

Im not sure how Motherwell are in such a bad way that we need outside investment when there are such titans of the financial industry on this forum. Lets make our mind up when we see what the WS have to offer against this offer. Granted, on the face of it, in financial terms this offer doesn't seem mind blowing but is speculative and without doubt would open more doors than the WS in regards outward investment and opportunities to increase revenue streams. Fan ownership for me is a good thing but not if we stagnate as we have and in some degree we have gone backwards and now can't compete with our rivals. The WS in its current guise isn't fit for purpose, that much is clear but I do understand they are trying to change and I will make my mind up when both proposals are head to head and there are more details.

Personally........................absolutely not but if he does re-sign he will get my support

No, that some people on here wouldn't be happy either way no matter how wide the spectrum

Keep your knickers on, it was clearly an over exaggerated analogy to get a point across, at no point did i suggest we can only re-sign current players or top tier EPL players

Reading some of these posts about how garbage our players are really has me thinking about which team folk think they are supporting!! We can't simply go out and sign Virgil Van Dijk (although folk on here would be suggesting he is sh*t and past it as he is in his 30's) our players are going to have limitations, its a simple fact. People throwing comments like "disgusted" at players being signed on again need a dose of reality!!!!

We need a squad and I doubt you would get a better option out there than O'Donnell. He gets some quite unfair pelters at times but Im pretty happy he has signed on to fill out said squad.

He calls it as he sees it, he literally makes no sense at times in his anti-Motherwell player/manager/CEO/possible new owner rage, as well as being the most Motherwell negative person ive ever seen for a fan!!!!! However, I do enjoy reading his posts the most.......................... its all about opinions and he certainly has some 🤣

Well thats my opinion and you're all up for folk giving theirs

That is a fair point you make!!!

There is no way and i mean no way you are not just trolling everyone on this site!!!!!!!!!!! You are either:- A - not a Motherwell fan B- a parody account C- off your head I do find your posts funny to be fair, keeps me entertained 🤣

Everybody calm down about the Obika thing................ If you also noted from the website, The Well are looking for a new physio so he is clearly there as a training aid for them, makes perfect sense...............😜

Yeah, quite interesting to see everyones opinion Good debates are what its all about

Totally agree with you. He was a big fish in a small pond with us but has just blended into the grey when paired with a better calibre of player Shame really as I hoped he would have progressed and it appeared he had the talent to do so.

The context isn't great either If we get clean sheets we get more points, its that simple really If we score the amount of goals we did this season AND get more clean sheets we generate at least a top 6 finish. All hypothetical I know but clean sheets obviously matter, even in the context you articulated.
