Every chance we'll get Heartsed today, but if it stays level long enough, mibbe the Celtic players will implode the same way their fans have.

There was talk of Luton cutting the loan short in January, but I think he's still there. Been an absolute waste of time for him.

Wilson's just been appointed 'Director of Corporate Communications and Responsible Banking and member of the Executive Committee of Santander UK.' He starts in March, so you'd suspect his resignation at Motherwell is connected to that.

Where's Declan Gallagher when you need him?

I'd have serious concerns about him crossing the road by himself. I doubt even his harshest critic on here would imagine for one second he or his agent were oblivious to his contract situation. The board left themselves wide open to criticism/ridicule on this and they deserve it. But when they did issue the statement and folk immediately began foaming online about Kettlewell getting a year's extension last night, you have to wonder if those fans are actually interested in anything other than moaning.

The wording didn't suggest Kettlewell was unaware his contract had been extended. It clearly stated this had been agreed when he signed the permanent deal - does McGarry really think it was necessary to clarify Stuart Kettlewell was one of the people who agreed to it and signed the contract on that basis?

Must be doing the rounds. I'm not sure how anyone could honestly believe the manager was unaware his contract had been extended.

Was that on Facebook by any chance?

It's a no strings attached contract.

It's also embarrassing that even after they released this statement online, you have fans commenting on why they extended his contract last night. Don't know, don't want to know.

Jeez o, I thought he'd popped his cloggs there.

Unless he's fell out with Bair, jesus wept.

So, if it turns out Stuart Kettlewell's contract runs till May 2025....

😆

Wait till the post about Kettlewell's contract running till May 2025 hits....

Like you say, they both have 2 feet.

Biereth and Spencer both played most games and contributed during their time here. Their parent clubs saw enough improvement to recall them, so it seems everyone got something positive out of it. The problem of successful 'season long' loans being ended early is another issue that needs to be looked at, but it's certainly not one specific to Motherwell. Gent surely has to be seen as a success. Vale and Devine have started well enough to suggest they've been worthwhile signings. Halliday will become permanent in the summer, so he isn't a loanee in the true sense. Montgomery's injury was very unfortunate for him and us, but the same thing could've happened if we'd signed him on a 5 year deal. Shaw has certainly been a poor signing up till now and that may very well continue. Buyabu coming here has been a waste of time for all parties. Overall, I'd say our loan signings have generally worked out ok.

They generally have two feet and wear shorts a lot.

And that sends out a warning to potential loan signings in your opinion?

Exactly. Whatever it is, we don't know and possibly shouldn't know.

A professional footballer wouldn't.

Biereth and Spencer don't send out positive messages to potential targets? Loans are like any other signing, some work, some don't. What were this guy's personal reasons?

Reid 'em and weep.

I'm not sure anyone can have a worse winless record than 'never won'. If you want to count every league game they've ever played against Rangers, surely the fair comparison would be every league game we've ever played against them.

Or just stand McGregor next to Gregor. That would be enough to scare anyone.
