Think we will finish between 6th and 8th. I reckon we will be pretty solid at home but I fear for us away from Fr Park. I like McCall a lot but I think consistency is something we will struggle for under his reign. However, if he can get us performing week in week out then we could end up challenging for Europe. Race for 3rd should be wide open as Dundee Utd won't be as strong and Jeffries is a one trick pony. A good Scottish Cup run and a league win over both halves of the Old Firm will do me. With regards to the rest of the league, I think Rangers will run away with it and ICT or St Mirren to get relegated.

Anyone who takes on finance to invest in a football club needs their head looking at.

Pretty sure he is in the same boat as Porter, Humphrey et al when it comes to his contract situation. Major coup from McCall if he manages to pull this one off.

After reading this in January, I thought Nicky Law was well out of our league: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/r/rotherham_utd/8462681.stm

David Robertson is.

Steven Caldwell has been offered a deal in Scotland but there is no chance we will be in for him. I'm surprised that there hasn't been more speculation given that McCall stated that he was looking at players that were keen on a return to Scotland. I've still got my hopes pinned on Kevin MacDonald should Jennings depart. A former target of ours, Craig Forsyth, was about to sign for Watford but I imagine that may fall through now with Malky Mackay landing the Cardiff job.

Weather permitting, I'm liking the look of Tynecastle on Christmas Eve. Hopefully we have our squad in place for the beginning of the season as we have been handed a favourable draw.

Hibs v Sunderland 6th Aug. Not sure if there are any others.

Am I the only one that wouldn't dream about pishing away £300+ on some sort of 'feel good' trip?

I thought Birmingham had the option to extend his contract by two years, thus entitling them to a transfer fee should anyone pursue him. If he ends up at Celtic, I'll spew.

He was supposedly very close to signing for Peterhead. It appears he has had a change of heart about going FT. Doubt he will be on our radar.

Agreed. Given the vacancy was mentioned on here a good few weeks back you would imagine Motherwell would have someone lined up for such a crucial time. Get the Accies fella in.

Regardless of opposition, all friendlies at home are shite. I appreciate there are a few '\Well fans who follow Leeds but the majority of our support won't see any significant appeal of an above average Championship side. I'm sure Leeds will bring a good support which will be a welcome boost to our coffers.

Only caught our game against Sunderland and the standard looking woeful. There was never any doubt Rangers would win it.

Le Fondre has been the subject of Hibs rumours for months but even the majority of their messageboard posters accept that he is outwith their reach. Would be surprised to see Nicky Law stay in League 2. I'm sure I read about Blackpool making a bid for him in January. As for Randolph, I'd happily sell him for a million just now to give us a bit of scope to strengthen the squad.

With small businesses struggling and folk getting made redundant all over the place, I very much doubt it. I imagine that a significant proportion of our support go out on a limb to secure a Season Ticket. I'm in favour of the concept but I don't see it being feasible for a washed out community like North Lanarkshire that will never take a huge interest in Motherwell FC.

I heard we were interested in him a few months back, at the same time the papers were linking us with Forsyth from Dundee. I think Erskine signed a new contract with Partick towards the end of the season.

So under these proposals, the membership would essentially facilitate a 750k interest free overdraft?

HIbs to fork out £450k when he was available for £100k in January. Aye, very good.

Got to agree with that. There is no chance of him heading back north for 2k a week.

Getting linked with this type of player is what I like to see. Hopefully there is some merit to the rumour.

Neither are target men.

Porter and Hughes permanant. Gunning and Clarky on loan. Jennings stays. We'd win the league!

Famous last words but there is no chance of him heading North. I can see the only competition coming from the Edinburgh clubs, whether either is interested is a different matter.

Eh? Murphy and Humphrey would cause havoc if they had an intelligent player like Hughes threading through balls.
