Big Stall

I reckon if the rest were to stay, then there is noway Hateley would walk out the door. He would know we have a right good team and a chance of making something happen next season. Much better opportunity than knocking about in the lower divisions with Rangers.

Since the turn of the year, this team has been truly flying. We have been full of creativity, confidence and goals. I didn't think it would be possible, but I believe the last few months have been better than the 6 week showing (November – December) in McGhee's first season. McCall really needs some credit as well. He has built a team that from middle to front is packed full of entertainment, pace and creativity. Importantly, it looks as though McCall has finally cast aside his old 'lets not get beat when playing a better team' mantra, and recognises the potential this team has. Just sends them out to go about their business. How much I would love to see us get another shot at Rangers and maybe even Panathinikos right now! As with everyone else, I'm pretty gutted that we have managed to build this team and now we will see it broken up. Fingers crossed everyone we either get a 'well fan winning the lottery or John Boyle still watches the games and wouldn't mind gifting another couple of hundred grand to cover keeping the team for another season. Lets face it, our form in 2013 has been championship winning form. If we kept that team together could we win the SPL next season? Possibly, but I'm pretty sure we could have a real good tilt at Celtic!

I'de love it happen but sadly I think the only chance of that is if a 'well fan wins the Euromillions and is able to provide a fund. Noway will or should the club be breaking the wage structure, regardless of how tempting it will be to do so. We have been down that road before........

Im pretty sure I heard McCall say he has told them all they have plenty of time, but there is a deadline for their contract offer to allow us to build next seasons squad.

Either Randolph or Faddy. Both are much better than our level and both will probably be off. Our team was slammed full of creative players but Faddy has just added that magic to make it happen. Our defence has been pretty shoddy this season but Randolph has been outstanding. I reckon theres still a decent chance at keeping Higgy, and we can get by with a central midfield of Carswell and Lasley.

McCall said on the radio yesterday, when he first came to Fir Park he thought Sauders had some good right back attributes about him, but Saunders wants to play centre back. Maybe Saunders made it clear he won't be sticking around if he doesn't get to play CB.

Debated long and hard what text to send my celtic supporting mates, went for... "Pumped by the 'well twice in 6weeks, what a goal by king henric. Hail Hail!" Seemed to get the message across. Get it right up yi lennon!

Forget the kit, Lasleys boots are belters!

Server doesn't seem to handle the thousands of hits Motherwell fans are currently putting on it. If anyone gets in, any chance of putting the picture in the thread??

I've said it before but I'll say it again. The Canterburry away top seemed to be one of the most popular strips we have had in a long time. Why not use a similar style now and again. Obviously better quality material would be good.

Dont see Hooper on that list. Someone should tell Lennon its abysmal!

Hes also a fucking clown! Suarez is the best player in England IMO but wont win POTY because of his actions, should be the same here.

Got to agree, refreshing to hear a football fan on the radio not being a complete super scoreboard bampot. Well played Fraser, you were articulate& well informed. You came across very well& its difficult to imagine how any listener could disagree with anything you said.

Im only just getting over my raging stauner from Faddy signing again, if we got him for next season I think it would rip right off!

Obviously the plan originally was to have Higgenbotham and Humphrey in the team, but then Faddy came along and obviously someone has to sit out Anyone else think that Humphrey is getting more game time because he's out of contract and McCalls trying to keep him sweet to sign a new one? I reckon if Humphrey wasn't out of contract Higgenbotham would have gotten more game time.

Want and expect him to stay, but not worried in the slightest. If he was to go, we would be due 2years compo

cheeky wee quid on the 'well 3-1 Higgy scoring first at 60/1! Loving it! In walkabout with a few guys from my work, a few other 'well fans in there including the DJ! YAaaaaas Mon the 'well!

Who did you boys (with the drum contact?) My A-rab mate says the security head at Tanadice is an arse that tried to ban Craig Whyte masks for home fans when they played the Rangers. Reckons he wont last if Thomson realises hes costing united money. Is there any way you or even Motherwell FC could try contact someone higher up the tree? Might russle some feathers..... Also tweet about it to a few journos who are currently sticking it to SPL chairman, ewan murray, Cosgrove etc. It might raise some awareness

I see Thomson saying there is no sponsor in place for next season which means a £2m loss for the league or he says £150k per club. Of course the fact that no sponsor was lined up ready to sign if we went to 8-8-12 or whatever it was, matters not a jot... Apart from Thomson being a walloper, it us a worry knowing we are another £150k down without a ball being kicked

No

McGowen is on a different level to the St Midden stars of past& present who have stepped up to the 'well. He'll be heading down south i expect. Shame as would be a nice replacement for Law.

See even if we didnt have a split, do you think our fixtures would be better? Remember we are 2nd in the league, scoring goals& have a certain Faddy. We are a decent draw for TV

Does top 6 fixtures start next sat?

Fuck that, you can stay at home and look at decorators photos. Group stages are the next step for the 'well......

You'll be back for the group stages anyway
