Yup, same here. I realise they have far bigger fish to fry at the moment, but a wee automated welcome email or similar would have been a nice touch. Anyone know if there is/was there a cut-off point for voting rights?

Agreed. Individuals quizzing him on X or P&B will do next to hee haw when it comes to influencing folk who can only see £ and Hollywood signs. The Well Society have to do/say something meaningful, and sharpish, or the horse will have bolted. By the way, how long do they normally take to acknowledge you've joined?

If they're still against the deal, as you would suspect, they better get the finger out on one or both.

Bigger than you?

What's SOD got to do with the perma-crocked?

Fingers crossed Barmack picks up some decent signings in January.

It's always very, very difficult to see something when you close your eyes.

That's being discussed, apparently. Arsene Wenger proposed it.

The worrying thing is, you have someone saying, those communications are none of my business and I won't take them into account when voting. There's none so blind.

If the idea we could play a home game against the Old Firm at Wembley is even a semi-serious fund raising proposal, we better start padding the board room walls.

We can argue till the end of time about whether the Executive Board should be putting forward this proposal or their motives for supporting it, but once they've done so, can the Well Society board - under the rules - refuse to put it to a members vote because most of the board members think it's laughably shit?

Yeah, no opinions, no forum.

Perfectly understandable that folk have an opinion on the past records of our new signings, most of us probably google them as soon as they're announced. Judging them before they've kicked a ball for us is a different matter, and a lot of the folk who indulge in that will never change their opinions according to performances, for obvious reasons.

What's his past record?

'comprehensive update' from club coming early next week. https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2024/06/13/update-following-mondays-statement/

Yeah, some are clearly falling over themselves to annoint him as the messiah. Seems their hearts and minds are set on accepting investment from whoever or wherever, and no amount of facts either.

Signing off on quotes or articles written by others is one thing, telling someone else to go online and get involved in conversations with fans is another thing entirely. Why take the chance an employee inadvertantly says something to piss off a group of extremely easily pissed off people when you're trying to butter them up?

Even if it's not the man himself, it's someone working on his behalf. As close as we're getting at this stage.

I assume our lot looked at him, saw something they liked and believe they can help him more than his previous clubs have.

Not being funny, but you should get onto Pie & Bovril, challenge him directly, or at least engage directly with the folk you think are falling for his patter.

Chocks away?

Snap. I wonder how many other fans have reacted to this proposal in the same way. And good luck to yourself and wellfan on the new arrivals front.

"The design of our offer was always to give fans 50%+. Because there were discussions with lots of parties, and the actual governance of the Club isn't the easiest to understand, we landed where we did -- but if the main concern was keeping TWS, specifically, at 50%+, I'm sure smart people (not me) could sit in a room and solve it. Intention matters here." You'd think smart people would have realised how big a concern this was always going to be and solved it before putting the proposal forward.

Did the hoop problem not concern teams competing in Europe?

Taken in conjunction with yesterday's announcement, look out for missing plot posters going up on lamp posts around Fir Park.
