Danny Lennon?He applied last time . Thoughts ?
-
Count me out . Don't do boycotts . 50years of watching the roller coaster ride . Good times great times bad times terrible times but stuck with it so no boycotts from me thanks
-
Doesn't look like he's going to fall on his sword judging by his comments on BBC sport Scotland . Over to you board
-
Expect a decision will be made pretty soon . His position is untenable . McGhee could make this easy but not so sure he will tbh
-
Craigan with Robinson assisting till end of season . Then look at it again . Don't think they'll need to sack McGhee. Even he knows surely for the benefit of the club and his own sanity that it's time up . Writings been on the wall for a while now . So as like a lot of Well fans are thinking if u really care about the club then step aside mark . You've lost the fans and by the looks of it the players too
-
Do the honourable thing Mark . Time to go . No more excuses . You've ran out of them . Best for all if you go .
-
Happy enough with this appt even if it is on a short term basis . Bit thin on detail re whether it's a restructuring or future planning . Would like to think we'll here something substantive from the club soon .
-
This gesture could be very significant if Well fans buy into this . On the proviso we stay up this year this could have a knock on effect on who we sign /don't sign this summer . With the possibility of hibs and united returning next season and also possibility of two main strikers moving on this gesture could indirectly cut us a bit of slack in who we sign . Even maybe helping to keep both strikers on new terms . Possibilities here if this works . Might help those that are currently reluctant at present to join up as it's a very good incentive tbh . So to sum up this looks like a win win for the for both club and fans

Well it shouldn't . There not kids . Need to get stuck in . That's what I expect minimum -
Bbc Scotland sport live news under summary . Very brief

McGhee to give press conference at 12:30 today . Any ideas ???
-
And there lies the problem . People now starting to become disheartened with the whole well society project . I'm still paying my d/d but my patience is running thin now . Unless some movement forward in the right direction and people can see this is going to work am afraid to say that I can see a drop off in support for this cause . Hope am wrong but my gut feeling tells me different
-
For whatever reason the majority of fans are just not buying into the well society . ive been in since day one as well a contributing like a few others by direct debit but as I say I came away from that meeting thinking for the first time this ain't working out the way it was meant too be . Not a lot of positives came out the meeting after the agm that night. I'm sure the well society board members are working flat out to keep it going and resolve issues with Les but in my opinion it looks like it's starting to unravel . Hope I'm wrong

Went to agm in May and was a bit dissapointed as to the lack of positivity surrounding the well society coming from the top table particularly as Alan Burrows was on radio a few weeks before telling us what a wonderful opportunity it was for our club . I do however appreciate that Jim McMahon has the club at heart and won't sign up to a deal which would put the club in a dangerous position but I came away from the meeting wondering what Jim was really thinking . Think it's time for some honest and straightforward answers to some fairly straight forward questions like . (1) is this gonna be a good deal for the club (2) does the Mfc board still believe in it (3) are we considering other avenues of this fails and (4) did Les pull out as he felt it was a no goer . Think all society members deserve answers to these questions . I for one am starting to loose patience with the whole well society thing and beginning to seriously wonder if it's going to succeed . At present though and i can speak on behalf of a few members there is no feel good factor whatsoever and more and more people are becoming disgruntled/disillusioned by the day

Looking at the the whole ownership thing although I'm a paid up member of the society if we had a choice between fan ownership and a rich preferably well fan owner then I would prefer the later . But the reality is nobody wants to buy smaller clubs in Scotland as it will cost you . Spoke to a chartered accountant about this and he said the last place he would advise any of his clients to invest in was a football club . So on that basis we have two choices . Wait and see if somebody wants to buy us (unlikely imo)or go with the well society . The choice is there's no choice . So on that basis lets get behind it and MAKE it work . No other alternative . So any body out there swithering/fence sitting don't over analyse it or beat itself up . Just sign up and join the party
-
Agree with what Alan burrows said on radio that Les being involved has stopped people signing up as possibly in some fans thinking he was going to be there to bail us out when we needed it . In a way he's forced our hand now . So now it's over to us . My opinion for what it's worth is that there no plan b. This is the only option and I'm willing to let it play out and also play my part . For £5/month or £60/year to join I think that's very reasonably priced . I personally pay £10/month but am acutely aware that may be too much but a fiver ?!!!!. My hope is that the well fans come on board and a least give it a go . No other options that I can see

Of course David like any other fan ur entitled to ur opinion and airing it . However my opinion is that ur views are utterly breathtaking. Your negativity is incredible . Am very grateful les came in at a difficult period in the clubs history and am happy to go with his plans and that includes the well society . Having spoke to various fans from Morton Dunfermline and believe it or not airdrie they would bit ur hand off to get someone like him in . It's easy to criticise but what is your option if u don't like this one . We got lucky with Les and time some people realised that . So come on get ur glass half full for a change .

RIP Joe . A great man and a great footballer . A credit to your family and our great club . Forever remembered . Joe work new my father

Good post and good idea .
-
Yeah I agree . Things have become a bit blurred and it may be helpful to collate a few questions we could present to them so they could collectively give us some definitive answers . For this to work I believe it would need to be a collective statement from all of the three parties so we know as fans they are collectively all singing from the same hymnbook . From there I believe we could possibly kick on . I am still in favour of this project happening and believe it is a wonderfull opportunity . I know after speaking to st mirren and killie fans they would bite your hand off to secure there clubs future in this way if given the opportunity . We have this opportunity and I urge the board to work there socks off to convince people to join up . Find our level ? . No thanks . Ask St mirren Morton Dunfermline and even our friendly neighbours Clydebank fans if there happy the've found there level . Think I know what the answer might be and it ends in ...off !!!!!!
-
Yeah it's the lack of clarity which is causing confusion and probably one reason why some people haven't joined up yet . Club/society/les need too clear all this up so fans are confident in the process . The Les interview last week has puzzled many fans . A joint statement / meeting would be helpful with a Q and A session afterwards .

Here here good post . Am all for that

Investment ? Certainly not . Investment and some kind of return ? Definitely not . But yes I agree more transparency required as we all seem to have our own ideas on how it will work or not as the case may be . Maybe if any society board member reads this they might like to consider a meeting with society and non society members as it's all getting a bit blurred . This article in the paper has given people more questions than answers and we need some clarification/transparency . Not having a clear simple message can potentially put people off . So if ur reading this it's over to you board ????!!!!
