Regarding figures what would be deemed sufficient to even offer 49% of club to potential buyers given the ground Fir Park is on must have decent value, the player assets also have decent value and the business as a whole has some value...?

Nicholson could possibly fill Spital's role next season, with a good pre season he looks like he could be decent, Tierney also really young and loan move and hopefully some game time has benefited him so might also be a contender to fill the gap

Is Spittal not out of contract at end of season so if he leaves we get zero benefit other than his wages to spend (gamble) on someone else?

https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/moses-ebiye-set-motherwell-transfer-32278625 Interesting, long term replacement for Obika?

It's crazy to think that when he signed we r now thinking where would we b without him! The injuries to the other strikers have been a blessing in disguise because he has had that drive to improve knowing he can put it in action during game time. Been some season attacking wise having 3 decent young strikers to watch considering we only had KVV previously. Vale has been a great and clever replacement for Biereth as similar in work rate and style that suits Bair. Bair deserves a new contract and hopefully an extended one to also protect our investment. KVV had a one off wonder season where as Bair is young and should only keep getting better which is exciting in itself.

40 points is a good marker to avoid 11th historically, sometimes quite a bit less points was enough, 14 points needed from 11 games.....

Sturm Graz potentially Biereth's next destination apparently

Callum Lang on bench too

He is suspended for this Dundee game

Kelly Butcher Casey Spencer Gent Davor Slattery Paton Spittal Wilkinson Mika

Move to a back 4 seems sensible (back 3/5 has ran it's course), have Gent and Spencer as attacking wing backs, bring Davor in for a holding role (Butcher can also step in here) play 2 up top and have 3 in midfield for creativity.....sorted 👍

I got the feeling during summer transfer window we were outbid on or couldn't agree a deal with our main transfer targets and had to make do with some bodies that would actually sign for us....I reckon what we had planned and what we actually got was totally different at the end of the window....as such can't blame SK too much, reckon he needs until after next summer's transfer window to have a squad more or less as planned....defo a work in progress and not easy work at that.

Love Dan shouting at the Killie guy on way back after his goal, Slattery is hilarious just before and after Paton's goal

Around 5 weeks

Would prefer having Moult on the doctor's table instead of Obika, at least Moult might get goals when he is able to make a cameo

To be known as "Dave" going forward 😂

Paton was a real surprise in one of the training sessions I seen, he was a standout by miles, hopefully a good preseason and he will be a decent signing without costing very much

I am sure I read Alexander saying Tyler was brought in to cover right side of defence, given he was signed so late I wouldnt be surprised if Dec or SOD have got a knock and Tyler brought in to cover them. He has probably got the most recent minutes under his belt of our signings so expect him to come in for Dec or SOD tonight.

At first the thought of Tommy Wright made me shudder.....however with the short term target to finish 10th and giving Las someone else to learn from for 6 months then would be a sensible appointment for the rest of this season only.....this depends on the calibre of applicants we have received or approached at this stage of the season.....finish 10th and start again in June makes me feel a lot better than other options just now as just now we are relegation certainties......the current players need a proper hard no bull shit b*****d that gives them the fear (Lasley isn't that guy) to get any sort of reaction as we will be left with the majority of them for the rest of the season as we are limited as to what we can do this transfer window......unless there is a long term gem available just now I am happy with Wright for 6 months to finish 10th, I am confident he would manage that short term then he can go back home to his family then we can reconsider Lasley or any other applicants.....ideally though please let there be a hidden gem who has applied just now.

Would be crazy not to hold onto him until after Thursday and preferably have him not play against us on his first match away from us, delay it by a week and timing would be ideal to have international break to get polworth back up to speed before our next match

You guys do remember how honking Donnely was at Left Back....moving him to RB is madness

Any restriction on pubs buying the games and showing them?

Not having a Sell on Clause if he left at the end of the season could well hurt us most!!!

If they both sign a new deal their value instantly goes up. Offer them an increased % of any transfer fee and they will get a tidy bonus when they move on to more than compensate the value of their weekly wage increase...simples.

It has to be accepted that this coming season will be a season of transition with the younger players given more game time with the aim of making them starting 11 picks the following season. The likes of Lasley and McManus will be pivotal in this transition and will be signing on this season in the knowledge that this could be their season last as a first pick but will be relied upon to pass on their experience both in training and matches. They will get more experience in the coaching and behind the scenes activites with a progression for them to take up this role more full time as opposed to playing following this season. Seems a sensible way to commit to bringing through the youth and at the same time giving the older heads a career path too.
