Every Society member owns 1 voting share in the Society.
Having effectively proportional representation makes no sense. It opens up the possibility that the Well Society members could vote 70% against the takeover but the overall shareholders vote goes in favour of it.
In that scenario the Society assets are hugely reduced in value against the wishes of the membership.
If you wanted a direct vote the shares were on sale dirt cheap not long ago.
But we are talking about the club so shouldn’t we be going with the majority of the shareholders??

One thing that I don’t fully understand is that the well society is the major share holder but votes as a unit (from what I’ve read but could be wrong). So does it get viewed as ‘one vote’ on the board or does it get viewed as the vote of X amount of share holders? If it gets treated as the vote of X amount of share holders by the board (voting as a unit) then I don’t think that is right. If the WS vote is split 60/40 or 30/70 or whatever it should be presented that way at the board to reflect the will of the share holders rather than taking the vote of a group of shareholders and basically flipping their vote, whichever way.
I can see simple majority votes when the WS wants to decide on an action that is a decision to be made by the WS, like should we give money to the club to help cover cost of pitch upgrade but when it’s a vote to be made regarding an action to be taken by the club the each share holder should have their vote counted as they cast it and not nullified by being in a group such as the WS.
Another point is that not all members contribute the same so does higher contributions mean more votes or shared? That applies to voting to decide as a unit and also if they were to present any vote as a ratio of for and against. -
Good advice!!

I think SK will improve with time. There’s a lot of “experienced” managers out there who will not improve much and wouldn’t do any better job than what the inexperienced SK has done.

The top half dream is dead. Long live the battle for 8th.
And make your choice...
If we can beat Dundee, and hibs don’t win, plus Aberdeen beat Livingston that would set up a cracker of a pre split weekend with Aberdeen v Dundee and Motherwell v Hibs. All four teams playing for sixth spot. (Also assuming Dundee lose to Rangers in their midweek game)
Edit: though Aberdeen would have to win by a cricket score to get 6th

I Like Halliday but he had a bad game today. Normally a composed player but today was just a slow player. Hopefully he has more good games than bad games.

Not quite yet but as good as.
-
That’s as bad a game as I’ve seen in a while. Both teams absolutely terrible.
-
Finally.
-
We have no shape or pattern, aimlessly wandering around and not knowing how to pass a ball.
-
Looks like nobody can be arsed today on here. Nothing on field to rule us up.
-
Need to offer a bit more going forward
-
Forgot we were still an hour out !

No team news yet?

3-1 for super well as we resume converting chances again after missing a bundle against Aberdeen. Bair, Vale and Bevis on the score sheet.
-
Doesn’t seem as bad as first reported then.
-
Hard to believe he’s only 19.
-
Would be nicer if we could have made some money from Spittal but perhaps he would not be moving on if a transfer fee was required.
-
Need at least a draw but preferably a win to keep our chance of top 6 alive and then see how other results go. Sounds like Miller will be out but I think we have enough cover in midfield despite also not having Slattery and Paton available. COYW!!

I thought the ball came off the Aberdeen defender before it hit Theo’s hand?? His hand was in a natural position for jumping. The response/ decision is a complete farce!!!!
Just watched it again and it didn’t hit Aberdeen player but there is still no way that was a deliberate hand ball. He’s jumping and there’s contact between the two players but Bair’s hand is in a natural position for what he’s doing. Deliberate hand ball my fkn arse!!! Ridiculous that multiple officials can call that deliberate hand ball.

I was already over here before administration times so not 100% sure exactly what happened but seems like we spent a lot of money buying players and giving them high wages in anticipation of them performing. I’m not so much in favour of repeating that but more in the way of having funds to help us thru years where we incur losses and also to enable us to offer competitive salaries to players we want to Keep. Having said that i mean with respect to teams in Scotland other than old firm

If killie can't afford to keep him. We won't be signing him. He'll be off back to Holland
Perhaps more a case of they might not want to keep him?

In my view Hammell was the wrong person at the wrong time more than Kettlewell. SK kept us up last season and for that he deserves credit in my view. It's also not easy to say what other people who applied for the role did or didn't have as attributes compared to SK and why the club felt that SK was the better option. It's not something fans will be told.
SK also got I think it was two games as caretaker manager and from recollection we won them both - so that had to go in his favour surely.
Also just got us our first win at Ibrox in top flight league in 27 years so he has something about him. I think he will turn out to be a good manager for us. The more experience he gets, I’m sure the better he will become. For sure he makes errors, probably overthinks some games but I think his methods, philosophy and personality will stand him (and MFC) in good stead.
