"Wealthy Benefactor" is the financial model we just spent a few years trying to move away from.
Exactly.
Not saying it’s s good idea.
Can’t think of another way of coming up with £50 million though....
-
I think it would probably take some sort of wealthy benefactor to put up the money, probably on the understanding they get the Fir Park land when we move out.
Which even allowing for this benefactor being out there would be a massive gamble that they could break even or close to it...
I don’t imagine the planning and execution of such a hypothetical plan would be done in a few months either.
Anything over and above your basic concrete soulless stadium probably ramps up the costs quite quickly.
My three must haves would be:
4 sides
grass pitch
safe standing for home and away fans.

Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Any increase in the local population will hopefully help attendances in the long term.
Aye, when the Ravenscraig loyal and Ravenscraig CSC fill the south stand.

Think O’neill could’ve done better than a Stoke side heading for League one.
Although looking at their squad, he maybe feels he can turn it round.
Wouldn't grudge Robinson at all if he got the opportunity, but selfishly hope he doesn’t. This could all move very quickly given the international break, or they may choose to go with a caretaker and have a replacement in for March?

Jimmy Calderwood surely ?
He’s unfortunately got dementia.
I’m amazed nobody is talking about Gordon Strachan. Think he’s some sort of Director of Football at Dundee? If Robinson were to go, I’d have him in a heartbeat.
I suspect Robinson will be heading to Edinburgh one way or another in next few weeks.
(was there an overlap with Leann Dempster and Robinson?)

Hard to tell from the TV pictures as Long's just out of frame when the pass is made, but he doesn't even look particularly close to being offside to me. It's an interesting (desperate?) grounds for appeal, but unless the referee has actually blown for offside then the ball is in play, so I can't see how it would succeed.
Can’t see that being successful, but it’s compliance officer roulette, who knows...
I think Nemalinen (sp?) is playing him on.

Gary Holt was being interviewed pre-match on Wednesday and was very open about how they planned to play.
Similar to Robinson’s “earn the rite to play” but went further, actually saying he hopes it’s a terrible game as that suits them.
Lead me to wonder, is their less pressure on Livi and Hamilton to even attempt to entertain given they have nobody watching anyway? Neither have a pitch conducive to playing football, so that may be a factor?
Although given the price they charge at the Toni Macaroni, surely they do have some responsibility to entertain the crowd...

Sadly simulation, or diving to us punters, is part of his game. He has previous for this.
I think the free kick that lead to their goal was a foul, but he made an absolute meal of it. Got booked for diving in the Scotland game v Belgium.

When you look at the money Oli McBurnie, Joelinton, Wesley and Solanke moved to EPL clubs for Morelos is better than all of them.
Don’t disagree, and an EPL club will pay Rangers or Celtic more than they’d pay Motherwell for the same players.
The “problem”* in England now is that your Leicester and Evertons don’t need to sell players, so a Man Utd for example have to pay stupid money.
*i say problem, from a competitive point of view it’s great that Leicester for example can hold on to their best players and not have their squad dismantled, but it’s pushing up the already ludicrous prices.

I talk about Celtic in the same manner. Am I a fanboy of both or is that just something you think is impressive to throw in? It's not.
This desperation to sell is the fantasy here which I suspect you have pulled from the fantasy material the internet is littered with. The reality is they owe money to no one but directors with deep pockets who are going to convert those loans to shares. Do you grasp what winning the league and achieving CL football would earn them?
You're talking a minimum £40 million just for making the group stages then millions more in gate money. That's their objective and to get there they need quality like Morelos. To suggest they're desperate to unload him when week after week he's proving how much they need him and have Gerrard actually coming out stating they have to keep him is the real fantasy here. Pulled out of thin air with not scrap of evidence to support and ample evidence to dispute it.
They will sell him at some point but given he's contracted till 2023 there is no rush to cash in. He's money in the bank for them at anytime they want to cash in over the next few years.Rangers won’t get in the champions league though, even in the unlikely event they won the league.
Any money they bring is already spent.
Rangers PR company are trying to push up the price of Morelos by putting out these fake bids from Chinese clubs. He’ll go to a bottom end EPL club at some point, possibly January for far less than some of the ludicrous figures quoted.

Happened right in front of me , Gillespie won the ball clearly , no foul.
Gillespie was there 10 minutes before O’donnell threw himself over him in a vague hope of the ref evening up the red card.

Dom Thomas scores for Killie
His sole contribution to the game, a cross that sneaked in, hooked just after the hour mark, a good game by his standards...

I think we can compete with Aberdeen since though they too have something of a financial advantage it's almost trivial in comparison to the advantage the OF have.
Aberdeen are competing in pretty much the same market we and everybody else are and given we're up there with them I was surprised to see any Motherwell fan want them to beat the OF. We need anybody who can to take points from Aberdeen.
Aberdeen taking points from the OF would have no effect on them finishing top 2 but it could have an effect on 3rd and 4th spot.
And their fans too have a disconnect from reality. McInnes has given them their best string of league finishes in years yet they want him fired because he can't compete with the OF. Same meaningless stuff you see here. Shit the bed etc whatever that's supposed to mean. It baffles me what they imagine anyone else could do against that kind of financial superiority.We can only compete with Aberdeen if we make the best of our resources and they don’t make the best of theirs.
Yes, we’re shopping in the same market, but we’re watching the guy with the sticker gun hoping to pick up a bashed tin.

What is fast becoming a major issue is our lack of goals and a real distinct lack of ruthlessness when attacking. Passing up scores of chances every game has been a continuing theme of our season so far and it would be great to finally address it by giving someone a hefty scudding. It's a problem plenty of teams in the Premiership would like to have, but it is problem that has to be solved nonetheless if we want to have a good season.
We had a couple of games like Hibs at home, where it could have cost us if they’d improved in the 2nd half. Fortunately they didn’t and we got the 2nd goal, but had wasted 2 or 3 chances to get a 2nd before half time.

We can compete with Rangers and Celtic in a one off game. As we’ve shown in the semi final win, or play off games.
We can’t or certainly have no right to compete with them over a season. It’s not just the quality of player they have, but the depth of squad.
They “bought” one of our best performers from last season, and punted him out on loan as he wasn’t even in their 23.
To he honest we have no right to compete with Aberdeen, but the gap isn’t as big, so if they don’t spend well and we do....

If he elects to punch it he should punch it away from the goal and not back into the danger area. Basic stuff.
Craig Samson school of goalkeeping.

I think this was it. May 1997

Ikpeazu and Lyndon dykes both absolutely bullied their centre halves.
Im not sure Devante Cole can match that physicality, but he’s probably the best option (unless we stick Hartley up front....)
I saw a fair chunk of their game and they seem better suited to counter attacking despite normally dominating games.
I’m afraid we have to park the bus, and hope to pick them off with a set piece or on the break and take it from their.
If we’re still in the game when they get their penalty we’ve got a chance.

Also, since there’s a dinner attached to it there will be bias toward players who are still with us, as seeing them speak and accept the award will be a big selling point.
John Gaghan might get in then.

The amount of draws they had was incredible. My bet 365 account is proof!
I’m sure I saw a stat a few weeks back that they’d drawn 17/46 games 1-1.
I think I’d bet them to win every one of those.
Ive been working down there, and also watched the documentary, so taken a bit of an interest in them, but they are an absolute car crash! Great support mind you, you don’t see many Liverpool or Man Utd tips walking about the streets there. Something I’m always quite envious of.

Would he turn down say Sunderland ? that would be a hell of a call.
I don’t think you could turn down a club that size, provided you were given a good contract.
Given how it’s ended with Jack Ross, there’s no way they’ll go for another SPFL manager though, so we should be safe from that one.

I’ve not seen anything from McKenna that puts him ahead either, certainly not on current form.
