  1. I'll wait to hear about any actual votes that have (or have not) taken place before I pass judgement. However, the point of the Well Society is to build up membership so that we don't need to be consulted - because we will then be running the club. If it turns out decisions were made behind the scenes then, for me, that makes it even more important to increase the membership as quickly as possible and have those shares transferred as quickly as possible.
  2. We never used to win televised Sunday games either. Until we did.
  3. Number 1 rule in football: Never believe a single word an agent says. Also, end of January is a week away.
  4. Is that the ex-manager whose future is under review by the board?
  5. Agreed. Looked a wee bit rusty at times, and played well at others. Probably didn't deserve to be 3 up, but of course, other games we play better and lose. Very happy with the result.
  6. Ah, sorry. I have everything possible blocked on my browser so don't see any problems. http://atdhenet.tv/59281/watch-motherwell-vs-stjohnstone should work too, but I'm sure there are plenty others.

  8. Mind this is the same Dazzer that said "Jennoe" would be stuck on the bench at Coventry - and he has made 25 league appearances already,
  9. Assisted by the guy that canny cross a ball.
  10. http://www.thefirstrow.eu/watch/164355/1/watch-motherwell-fc-vs-st-johnstone.html in case anybody was looking.
  11. You can run it with the right app (such as Photon Flash Player)
  12. Not 'Flow's fault - it's the company offering the service. Their email address is enquiries@matchdaydigital.co.uk if anybody wants to suggest alternative platforms (although I'd be surprised if they weren't working on that already as it would increase their market)
  13. Aye, but the fip side of that is that we had his services for 11 years, and in recent times in particular, his contributions have undoubtedly helped our financial position. Probably more than if we he sold him 3 or 4 years ago for 300k or whatever. As a club, our biggest hurdle is our complete lack of credit facilties. So 125k in the hand is more valuable to us in cahsflow terms. We have also gone through a period of not selling anyone - which has helped the team continuty, but wrecked our business plan of selling one player per season. We supposedly knocked back 175k for Henrik, so it hasn't been a case of bending over every time someone waves a wad.
  14. No idea. East Stand has been my spot for 44 seasons (although less often now, obviously). Always been a hotspot for the verbals, often before a player kicks a ball. Classic hits include "Ye cannae tackle, McAllister", "Yir too slow for this game, McLair" and "McLean Out!"
  15. Done deal apparently. The contract buy-out that is, not him signing for us. You can just imagine the stick a Boyd/Higdon front pairing would take from the East Stand.
  16. I'd take it with a pinch of salt. That board has been misleading before. A few week's ago, I noticed Higdon's name omitted from the starting 11 and he played from kick off.
  17. Because you can take that footballing talent and easily add body strength. You can't take body strength and easily add footballing talent. How much body strength did McCarthy have when he joined Wigan for 1.2 million?
  18. Then we will have to be content with losing players on freedom of contract every window. We have a policy of bringing in players for free (or through the youth ranks), and paying fairly low wages. You don't generate big transfer fees that way, but you do balance the books. With one or two exceptions, the guys we have sold haven't exactly excelled down south, so you could just as easily argue we are getting the best of those deals.
  19. A million for Randolph and you'll just throw in the rest of them for free? Harsh.
  20. Rumours are he is heading south to some team like Watford.
  21. From the Well Society Twitter feed:
  22. Absolutely. Even if they just told us why/if they were supporting it, it would be a start, but consultation seems a pretty basic function of the Society.
  23. As far as I know, we are still not paying anything for players, so we would never be in the running here.
  24. Glad the board rejected that original offer of £1m. Holding out for the extra £0.05m makes all the difference!
  25. He night not be going to an EPL club (although I wouldn't rule that out completely given that guys like McCarthy went to Wigan), but he only needs to look at Ruddy to see how choosing the right lower league team can get you in to the EPL sooner rather than later.
