I've decided not to go.
I am definitely going*
*to watch it on the internet

Do you mean "European Cup Final" or "European Cup/UEFA Cup/European Cup Winners Cup Final"

Can any think of anything for banner against rangers
We're Only Here For The Boycott

that depends,
if it is £20 a head, Rangers get to take 15% costs so £3 then Motherwell split the gate getting half of £17 so £8.50
if it was at Fir Park we would pay the tax on the £20 leaving only £16 - £2.40 costs leaving only £13.60 split two ways giving us £6.80
Were you David Murray's accountant?
Either way, if I just donate 20 quid to Steelmen Forever, the club gets more.
-
They'd get the same cut if it was a home game or neutral venue though, which I assume no one would object to attending? I'm looking forward to a good gloatfest tbh!
By the time sevco finagle their overheads, our club will see less of the 20 quid than if it was at Fir Park.

Would rather gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon than give 4p to that knuckle dragging scum
I know what you mean. I'd rather donate 20 quid to one of the Steelmen Forever initiatives (and watch the game on telly) than fund either of the bigot brothers' bile.

WHY?
The little google info I could dig out mostly has him pegged as a midfielder, so maybe that's why.

Is that Iain McLeod?
That's him. Looks like the "Thou shalt not pass" photo from the review-of-the-season booklet they published.

February 1984 to the end of that season was when we had our first shirt sponsor. I won't cheat by answering, because I checked it out on the interwebs.

They forgot to mention "plus a chance to get to the next round of the diddy cup".

Think the loss was either $300000 or $500000. Was surprised at how big a loss it was.
2 years ago they were predicting it was going to be around 500k, but I don't know what the final figures were.

From looking at the link without joining to read the full story it looks the usual OF biased news paper story, McCall only says that our previous record at ibrox makes them the bookies fav - he doesn't say that HE makes them fav. - maybe the full story tells something different but I can't be arsed joining to read a load of shit written by some OF biased hack.
Direct quote from the gaffer:
"Given our poor record at Ibrox then you have to say that home advantage makes Rangers favourites."
Despite what Jay thinks, I'm not "greetin'" about it, just tired of hearing it from the guy who is motivating our players.
I have praised and defended McCall on here many times, but this old chestnut just gets on my wick.

I see McCall has got his tipster hat on in The Evening Times.
-
I saw him play a few weeks back, sitting in behind the forwards, and done really well. Great link up play, great touch and got on the scoresheet.
The guy has played for 16 clubs in 10 years. I think that speaks for itself.
-
Fraser Kerr? Didn't we let him go before we got him back on loan?
We didn't 'let him go'. He was scouted by Birmingham City and got a scholarship to their youth academy.
As for Lawless, top scorer in the first division is great, but that isn't a higher level than the Motherwell first team, so my point still stands.
-
The opportunity for a sale is a tiny one, though, and we are failing miserably to capitalise on it resulting in McCall being forced to slash the wage bill by quarter of a million. That has meant the likes of Lawless being punted when he is the type of player we should be looking to develop and sell on. He was young, and would have been cheap but now the Jags are reaping the benefit of our hard work.
Not so sure about that. We have been culling a number of youngsters every year for a long time now. It's a tough game, and guys that show early potential often fail to develop into first team regulars.
In the past 10 years, asy, I can't think of any of those we have let go who have gone on to play at Motherwell first team level or even command a transfer fee elsewhere.
-
When someone leaves Fir park they become a non person in other words i could not give a flying feck what Jennings or any other ex Motherwell player does.
The 'whoosh' you are hearing is the point of this thread passing over your head.

Uncanny. I had a dream this morning that we won 4 - 1. Should have stuck a fiver on it.
-
thats that then.no new faces.
Did he not say at last year just before we signed Clancy?
And he had said we couldn't sign anyone before we signed Ojamaa. And then, after we signed him he signed we couldn't afford to pay him more, just before we paid him more.

It's a good thing we didn't make the Europa Cup group stages, as that would inevitably impacted or league form and sent this forum into relegation panic meltdown.
-
Always used to budget for 11th - not sure what the current regime do, but it was always 11th under the last accountant.
11th plus Cup Quarter Finals or something wasn't it?
-
Ok so now we r stable? We got more money than we expected through rangers demise, along with champs league and euro league games plus season ticket sales well up and yet we won't capatalise while we have a decent squad make it stronger and make ourselves SPL 2nd team? I'm not happy with that lol
Plus all the players we let go of in the summer, the wage bill is less
Last season, the board told us there would be an expected 500k loss this year. If we are lucky, we might be in a position now to cover that.
I haven't seen anywhere that our final season ticket sales are way up.

Its the oldest trick in the book.
He wants to go back to Hearts, this agent contacts Hearts secretly and Hearts offer a package. He gets his agent to have talks with another club and makes sure it is publicized. The agent then contacts Hearts and says "my guy is close to signing to this other club, better up your offer". Hearts then increase the pacakge on offer for the player.
1) The player gets the move he wants and a better deal
2) The agent gets a better percentage
3) The club get the player they were after.
The only loser is the 'other club'.
Happens all the time, just happens it's us who are the loser this time.
Aye. We have benefited from some creative dealings. There were howls from down south about us 'stealing' Chris Porter and Giles Coke. Plus, of course, we nicked Davie Cooper from under the noses of the Jambos.
Swings and roundabouts.
Jenno'e's Doing Well

The point is that a regular poster offered a strong opinion that "Jennoe" was not good enough to play in League One and would end up a bench warmer.
This opinion was based on the fact that he watches League One every week, that every other poster is a moron who knows nothing about football, and most importantly, that he has even been inside the Ricoh Arena recently.
