Tom Boyd. Close the thread.

New Aussie striker incoming. Where's @SteelmaninOZ when you need him?

Never heard of him, but his appearances/goals stats in the Aussie A-League are good (60 apps & 24 goals). He's also under contract and valued at €500K, so we'd be paying for a proven striker if true, which is nice. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/apostolos-stamatelopoulos/profil/spieler/547924 EDIT - I see reports suggest we've paid €300K and given him a 3-year deal.

This forum: United on getting Barmack to fuck. Disunited on almost everything else. We’re back in business, baby!

It’s Miller time.

It’s funny what happens to an underperforming team once a couple of attackers who can play football outside of the box are subbed on. Take note, Stuart, because Thistle will provide a much sterner test than the League 1 and 2 teams we’ve played so far.

I’m beginning to sense that you’re a fan of sarcasm.

A competent board would’ve punted him during the appalling winless run last season, but we all know that we don’t have a competent board. Nothing material has changed so we should expect the same season as last. All signs suggest that thoughts of achieving anything greater than last season are wishful thinking.

Balmer should be on the park. The only person who can’t see that is the one who signed him.

The problems of last season remain regardless of the signings because we’ve got the same manager and approach to games. It’s that simple.

If only we had 11 Lennon Miller’s. The best player in our squad by a country mile.

1-1. As predictable as ever. We’re crap.

Bair's only just left, so the staff have time to try to find a replacement, but not replacing Spittal by this stage is criminal, as it's shown to be a key weakness every game so far.

Yep, and we all know how good we are at holding a 1-0 lead. We need to turn the screw at the start of the second half.

Replacing Spittal with Paton and then replacing Paton with Halliday is about as much use as cutting both your arms off. It could not be more regressive.

Hamilton Carpetright.

Good goal by Moses. Exactly the type of goal he should be scoring as he’s very much a penalty box striker.

Not according to Transfermarkt, and we probably paid a small fee for him as well.

A replacement for Bair would be nice, but it won't matter unless we properly replace Spittal.

I've got high hopes for Caldwell and fan ownership moving forward. It seems like a good fit for him and the Society.

Also: Jim McMahon, 16 July: "discussions around this proposal are creating significant divisions within the fanbase." Ballot (midway), 16 July: 80/20 against the proposal. Get him to fuck. He's been found out on multiple occasions now.

The number of votes cast was 1531, and the turnout of eligible members was 56%, so that puts the number of members eligible to vote at 2735. I think. If membership was remarked to be approx. 3800 a while ago, there must be 1000 members who were ineligible to vote. 1,531 votes were cast by Tuesday 16 July at 10am 56% of eligible Well Society members had voted by this point This ensured the turnout threshold of 35% was exceeded 330 Well Society members had voted to accept the proposal (21.55%) 1,201 Well Society members had voted to reject the proposal (78.45%) EDIT - Basically, the maths suggests that there was about 1200 members eligible to vote who didn't vote. I think.

Looks like they played a 4-3-3 and all their attackers scored. Maybe Kettlewell could learn something from Ian McCall.

Set us back light years?! Sorry, but that’s a lot of hyperbolic bollocks. If anything, this debacle has highlighted the need for the existence of the Well Society and has proven that fan ownership works in the longterm interests of the Club. With competent stewardship, appropriate and mutually beneficial investment will come. And I think we can all agree that McMahon has not been a competent steward of the Club towards the end. As you say, it’s now the Well Society’s turn. Give the new Board a break and the chance they’ve earned.
