They both charge us the maximum permitted.

My preference for Lennon would be 1. Como 2. Bologna 3. Torino 4. Udinese Given that those are the 4 that are allegedly in for him, Im pretty comfortable that he will get a good move and we will get a decent price. I think Como is the best fit as he would be going to an upcoming team and under the stewardship of Fabregas, he would be learning from one of the best. Also, the views! Whats not to like? Bologna would also seem to be a good fit and they have certainly been good for Ferguson. They have European football to look forward to, so I would guess even if he wasnt a first pick there, he will get enough games thru squad rotation. Also the possibility a bigger club comes in for Ferguson creating space. Torino, not sure how they play but clearly a decent standard to finish mid table and having Adams on board, should help the settling in process. Udinese, Im not so keen on. Moreso due to their links with Watford and how mental they look with consrant churnover of managers and players. It might turn out ok, but Id be concerned he would be loaned out and might disappear. Every chance he may not go to any of the above, but wherever he ends up, I just hope it happens soon and we can all move on.

I know what they were discussing. But why does anyone really care? Most of our fans are season ticket holdlers and those that arent can easily be accomodated in the Hunter where the prices are cheaper (and imho the view is better). The big 2 have been overcharging our fans for years to sit in shite seats in the worst areas of their stadia. I get that 2 wrongs dont make a right, but Id be really annoyed if they got a better deal at Fir Park than we do over there. Given its the big 2 that pretty much set the prices, then Im more than happy with the clubs position on this. Especially as we dont roll over rand give them tickets elsewhere in the stadium anymore.

Re the pricing debate. Most of our fans are season ticket holders. Attendances show that. Any walk ups will find space in the Hunter no problem. Thats what I did, when I didnt have a season ticket. I never had an issue getting in. Given the financial argument, Im surprised we are even discussing this.

I really want it to be true! Bologna would be a great move for him. Como would as well. Udinese not so much......

Scott Burns reporting this is all news to Lennon Miller and Motherwell.....

The only guarantee seeding gives you is that you dont play Rangers or Celtic. You could still get an away tie to a non seeded team. Which could be very difficult. Just not as difficult....... St Mirren away anyone?

Motherwell are no better or worse than any other support. Every team has their "Happy Clappers" and their "Right Miserable Bastards" and all the rest that fall somewhere in between. I just think because we have quite a small support, the extremes are more visible than most.....

SODs for me. Strolled it for the most part and scored the winner, albeit it hit off him more than anything. Thought Fadinger had another decent game but got hooked fairly early....

How this goes all depends on how Morton set up. If they come out and have a go, we will win as we have the better players. Simple as that. If they sit in, try to shitfest it and drag us into a battle like they did at Cappielow last year, it could be a much longer night. What we musnt do, is allow ourselves to be dragged into that kind of battle like Kettlewell did. Keep.playing our football on our terms and we will win. Ugly or otherwise.....

Decent enough first half without being spectacular. Controlled the game, limited them to virtually nothing, had a few chances and scored the goal we required. Second half the tempo was very poor and allowed Stenny to have way too much of the ball and improve territorally as a result. The fact they didnt take adavntage was maybe more good fortune than anything. We did create one or two decent chances and should have put the game to bed, but we didnt so hey ho. Good wee away day. Nice wee bar, friendly locals and a win so cant be too sniffy about it. Sterner tests to come so will need to improve......

Really liking his interviews. Doesnt take any shit and is able to explain the tactical plan and process succinctly! Liking this brave new world! 🧡❤️🧡

Heading up for this one to tick another ground off the list. Hoping for a little light rain to make the pitch a little slicker and more agreeable! I expect it to be another tough game but us to have learned and improved a little off the back of the past week. 2-0 to us. A goal in each half with Sule and Stama both getting off the mark.

I listened to the Sportsound Podcast and its exactly this. Lazy journalism generating clickbait by bastardising something that wasnt even an interview. I actually thought Lee Miller did well NOT to give any information away when asked a direct question. It does seem that A CLUB has made an offer though and that the family/player are happy with that club and that both clubs are trying to thrash out a deal suitable to all parties. That was my take anyway. If the rumours of it being Como are true that would be an unbelievable move for the boy. Playing your football in the most picturesque stadium on the planet under the management of one of the worlds best midfielders with a chance to impress and attract even bigger clubs? Oh, and the owners are loaded.......

The new players all showed up pretty well. Watt, Just, Fadinger and Slattery all ball players who will link up well once they are more familiar with one another. Longelo was very good in the first half. Took his goal well and was had a great strike just before that well saved by the keeper. Good to see McGinn back and giving his standard 7/10. For overall performance and getting the winning goal it has to be Fadinger though.

My take away from last night not having been at the Clyde game. Its early days but the signs are promising. The football is already more easy on the eye. We wanted to move away from eye bleeding football and be more progressive so the club have gone out and got a (second) manager to do that. We have an obvious style, structure and pattern of play. The team/squad already looks more balanced than its been in a few seasons with the manager saying there is still more business to be done in key areas. The manager has a clear plan and is able to communicate that in interviews. His analysis of the game and explanation of why we played the way we did was spot on and should embarass some of the roasters in our support who were on the players backs straight from the off (it wont). I am quietly encouraged that we have some decent footballers in the door and the makings of a decent team once the problem areas are addressed. Its still pre season. We started the game last night with 7 players who have barely played together. It will take time for them to gel. Shame Lennon is leaving. He would thrive in this brave new world!

Loved the Spanish Archer! 🧡❤️🧡

Thats a shame. He looked good!

Came from a fake account looking for clicks. But he is the kind of player we would like to sign and he is a Copenhagen player.....

Hopefully the big boy fae Copenhagens reserves isnt just a rumour. He looks pretty tasty for our level.....

I foresee a tentative sluggish start as the players get used to the new system. But I still expect us to enjoy majority support within the stadium and for us to grind out a 2-0 win.

I really like the kit. Love the sentiment behind it with the 30th anniversary coming up. I do prefer the petrol blue we have used before, but this also works well with the claret & amber trim. Quite plain and simple with some more subtle detail. Kind of torn on the British Steel logo, as Steelman 1991 says, the organisation weren't blameless during the closure, but it does link into the community sentiment and the workers were a bigger a part of the place than the management ever were. Would buy one in a second without the G4 Claims sponsor. Will wait to see it in the flesh before I decide to part with my cash. 8/10.

I just dont see Miller wanting to go to Celtic. Lee Miller is on record saying Lennon is a first team player now and needs first team football at a higher level to develop. Firstly, not sure he gets that staying in the SPL. Obviously he would be playing with better players but its still the same league. He could have a chance of Champions League football, but he would be competing with McGregor, Hatate, Engels and McGowan for a midfield spot. Not sure Rodgers drops any of the first 3 in a big game. Hopefully the David Turnbull experience will have sounded loud enough alarm bells for him and he will take his talents elsewhere. Preferably Europe.....

Ive never bought into the feeling that Motherwell fans are any more indifferent or indeed harder to please than any other fans. We just notice it more because we are them and they are us. Most supports with a broad demographic will produce similar percentages when asked to make decisions on various subjects. Its like politics. Nobody really gives a f#ck about local elections cause its roads, bins etc. When it comes to the big decisions more people tend to sit up and take notice. Still a piss poor return though.......

Have we just exchanged our new manager angst with Lennon Miller angst? I get its the close season and there isnt much to talk about, but no need to be getting worried The boy has an agent who will be making sure everyone in Europe is aware of his availability, over and above the clubs communications. The kinda clubs with the money to buy him dont have League Cup games to prepare for in 2 weeks. They will be in no rush.
