Not at the moment. It's simply gauging opinion on whether or not we would be open to the idea of outside investment which would result in The Well Society holding less than 50% of shares in MFC. Do doubt there will be further options once a preferred bidder has been decided upon and more details of the investment can be made official.

SK's mandate was also to cut costs by reducing the size of the first team squad. There are a lot of factors at play here but what SK has achieved with such a small squad is remarkable. There is also no lack of fight within the squad, even when results haven't gone their way they have battled for 90+ minutes for every single point picked up along the way. How many teams sack their manager after relegation? Do you have those statistics to hand?

Similar to the Dundee Utd model of a few years ago too and we can see where they are now.

No idea. It's not a yes or a no for me at this point but I would like more information on the potential offers so I said yes to consideration.

Yes, I would consider a proposal that would see the WS lose its majority or no I wouldn't.

Looks like Dan Phillips will be a free agent at the end of the season. I think he is the kind of player that we need to just sit in front of our defence and offer better protection than what we have now.

Whoa! You almost had me onside there. Best you go and have a sit down now.

Surely that's enough? As long as he does those things and keeps it simple, the other midfielders can try all of the fancy stuff.

Mika scored and Max on the bench again.

Paton by a bawhair from Gent.

I though that was yet another ridiculous comment from the fud in the commentary box. Well yes, his hair is stuck to his head so of course it can be offside as his head is a body part that can be used to score a goal.

When they made the double substitution at 3-0 it was our throw-in. We really have to do better than just handing the ball back to them. Who was marking Gartenmann for the second? Devine was at fault for the third and hopefully he'll learn from that.

Thought he was onside.

Bair loves sheep.

Thought he was a midfielder? Square pegs in round holes, etc.

Why should we not have a women's team? We're a community club and it's good for all of the young ladies in the area to have both male and female footballers to look up to. Women's football is growing rapidly in other countries with teams moving to 'men's' stadia and playing before huge crowds. Our club absolutely should be supporting this initiative and hopefully they'll be able to play regularly at Fir Park in the future.

He's team captain and came up from the English championship so I'd say he's certainly going to be one our highest paid players.

Paul Hanlon will apparently be available on a free at the end of the season. 34 but would boss our defence and might even make a good captain.

Yeah, that's my point, maybe Kelly has been dealt with differently and in private. SK comes across as someone who is a good man-manager and, more often than not, he knows how to get the best out of his players.

Everyone reacts differently to criticism - Gent has been superb since that very public kick up the arse.

I read somewhere that he hadn't play a competitive game since June. If true then it will take some time.

Mark Ferrie and Callan Elliot really need to be playing if they want to extend their deals, hopefully we'll see both getting a good run before long. McGinn and Spittal need to be offered improved deals to stay with O'Donnell possibly retained as a versatile backup but no longer a first pick. Nicholson might be worth holding in to if he wants to stay but will need to see how he is when fit. SK can be added to the out of contract list too. I like him and hope that he succeeds but the next couple of months will need to see some improvement.

Just out of interest, does anyone know how much the club earns from a trip to Park head? I'm not sure it's that much but then I've never been and am basing my opinion in the low numbers of our fans that are permitted to attend. Or does the club get a share of the whole attendance?

Not a complete unknown as he has played two cup games already.

Don't think that development fees are a factor with cross-border transfers or has that rule changed?
