Just reading about that but can’t seem to post a link

I don’t think we own where we train but lease it - or we did a few years ago. I’m sure there was talk before Covid of building on the fields across from where we train now but I sceptical about that as in bad weather it’s always flooded.

Wrong, even going back to when Alan Burrows was CEO there has been talk of getting our own training facilities rather than having to change at FP, bus the players up to Dalziel park for training then bus them back to change/do technical analysis etc.

I suspect that a lot of the money will go on a new training facility as previous managers have said that what we use at the moment is inadequate and has made it difficult for us to sign some players

Aye we’ve at least 4 friendlies before the first competitive game for some of our footballing geniuses to write him off.

Correct, in my defence I wrote that last night while slightly drunk 🥴

This management appointment is possibly the most important one post administration and I don’t envy the boards task. Ignoring the arse cheeks at least Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs, Dundee and Dundee Utd will all out spend us this season on player purchase and wages leaving us - potentially (if money equates to a better position, which we all know doesn’t always happen but could) - fighting it out with St.Mirren, Killie, Falkirk and Livingston to avoid the bottom 2 spots. Although we will have money from LM’s transfer I don’t think we will see much of that being reinvested in players as long term projects like a training ground will eat into that. So that leaves us with two options, a hopefully safe option with someone who knows the Scottish game and can grind out another season in the top flight or another Wimmer type more risky option which hopefully lifts us to a higher level. Neither option is a stick on to succeed and could etch the boards names in Motherwell’s history as the board that got us relegated/took us to the Great Leap Forward - no pressure at all then.

Dam you beat me to it

Don’t worry about it - everybody’s talkin’

Was driving earlier and heard to bbc team talking after the game about Clarke and all of them said we should stick with him - ffs 4 wins in 21 games! Sack him now!

Great, just waiting for the Scum exclusive saying Stevie Nicks is going to be the new manager

StJ and Killie figures are lifted because for 3 games a season they give their stadium over to the OF hoards which we decided - correctly in my view- to stop doing.

Similar to Wednesday night we didn’t start playing until the last 15 to 20 minutes

I’m sure a lot of the Motherwell players know how to play silky free flowing football, unfortunately today their ability to do so is sorely lacking - what a shite game

I’ve a feeling that we might get an offer or two for Slattery over the summer and if it’s enough then he will be away.
