Even in his first tenure McGhee struggled to get players in. Seems to favour quality over quantity, which can be a hard balance to get right. I'm sure there will be some movement this week.
So tell me.....why do other provincial clubs have a sponsor sorted for next year? They knew months ago that they wanted to change sponsor, so why deep into June is it not sorted. Unorganised, unprepared, last minute i.e. Typical Motherwell.

4 new players in coming days...........according to the gaffer.

Apparently we are interested in Dayle Southwell of Boston United, along with half the SPL by the looks of it. Free agent for Scottish teams. Scored 50+ goals over the last 2 seasons.
Kieran Kennedy sounding like he is away on Twitter too.......'Not the way we wanted to finish the season but Really enjoyed my year in Scotland big thanks to the fans for all the support!'.
A player at the Sponsors Evening confirmed that Wes was away at the end of the season. The club had the option of another year, but won't be taking it up.
Baraclough bid for this guy back in August, but it was knocked back. Recently signed for Cork City on a free. Chance missed or bullet dodged?

Not just Scotland.........there really aren't that many maverick footballers around theses days. Pace and power with a smidgen of skill are valued above all else.
Went for Kennedy, but if the ref had been any good, he'd have given away two penalties, so hardly a man of the match performance, but we are so bad at the moment, he stands out as the only one with any real desire. The team is chronically bad at the moment.
He did try and sign Jackson Irvine, who would have performed that role, just couldn't get the deal done. Bolger was another one he went for who also seemed to be as capable at tackling as scoring long range goals. For whatever reason, he hasn't managed to get another strong midfielder in, but I reckon one will come in before the deadline.

That puts to bed the did we, didn't we discussion. Looks like 1 or 2 other players will come in before the deadline too.
