It was reported at the time that the fee we sold him for was £100k, could rise to £250k. Assuming that rise would be for games played or Sheff Utd gaining promotion etc. Didn't mention a sell on clause.
Hopefully we have one in

Motherwell hope to retain Scott McDonald
Scott McDonald could yet extend his stay with Motherwell, according to manager Ian Baraclough.

Clearly it is hard to know how close we are/aren't but good to hear we are speaking to him.
Maybe a bit harsh on reflection. Anyway, he has jumped ship very early into his new position for whatever reason which I am not too keen on. Hopefully we have set up what we need to in his time here and we can get someone in to fill the position without too much impact felt.
Effort/time to go through a list and compare who has already renewed then scoring them out or lifting them from a pile vs. Just firing them all out so people don't complain they don't get the renewal. The money lost will be negligible over the piece.
For what it's worth I renewed mine a few days before and haven't got the renewal. So thats a quid saved.
Not had a chance to listen yet. If he plays morw games like he did against Rangers at Ibrox then I could deal with that. In general though, he didn't offer much more than Twardzik in my opinion.
Probably not a huge one but it seems we bid a small amount for the Irish striker we missed out on. So, probably have cash along the same lines as Johnson (I.e. We will pay if we think we can turn a profit)
Missed out on this guy. Looks like we were prepared to spend some cash too:

Sutton story is in The Sun.
He will probably be guaranteed a start at St J. Something I would imagine Bara would not guarantee him given the amount of time he spent on the bench under him.
I am not a huge fan so won't be that fussed. However, I do realise he prob guarantees at least 10/12 goals a year inc penalties. So, hopefully we can fill the gap with a super duper new signing!
Adam Campbell released by Newcastle. Liked the look of him in pre season a couple years back when we played them. Does not seem to have kicked on since then though. Can play either wing and up top. Only 20.
Throw enough shite and some of it will stick I suppose.
I am pretty sure Ferguson is a centre back and was just chucked into left back to help out. will give him more than 5/6 appearances in the correct position before deciding.
Does he even have any coaching badges/experience/want to be a coach?
I love him as much as the next Motherwell fan. But, injuries have taken their toll and he done at this level I think.
Las, Hammell and McManus have all got/are doing their badges. So if we need some player/coaches we can use them.
