I don’t ever remember being as engaged with a Motherwell manager when he does his press conferences. Even our previous managers who had a wee bit of a personality (I think we’ve had a couple ) I wouldn’t have dreamt of sitting listening to their 10min presser.
lovely to hear his resoluteness about how we don’t need to sell and his building of a better team and adding players. The guy is impeccable.

Welsh not even in the squad for Celtics game tonight.

Hearts will cave and will not win the league. (Bookmark this)
celtic are awful, toxic atmosphere at the club and their players are the poorest I’ve seen since the early 90s
Rangers in my view have the best chance to win it unfortunately. They seem to be better organised under Rohl.
both rangers and celtic tho will drop points.
we are just as good as the above and should have nothing to fear against any of them.

Just consider the mess we were in only a year or so ago under Kettlewell. This conversation way back then was inconceivable.
It’s quite incredible what has happened over the past year. At this time last year we had something like 12 loan players? Right now we have none and about 5 of our players that are the target of big clubs along with potential big fees. The main big fee is for a player who wasn’t even selected in the first 11 last January.
i know I may be mocked but I sincerely believe if we keep our players and win the next 3 league games (which is entirely possible) that we will be in the mix for the league. Again a year ago to think this would be laughable.

I just watched Stephen O’Donnell on Go radio and he was asked about Maswanhise.
Clearly O’Donnell is a Much smarter cookie than Halliday. Discussing that he’s a contracted Motherwell player and if any bids do come in that the board and manager will do what is best for the club.
I can’t help but think that this sounded like a pre recorded message and maybe one which has been “advised” following Andy’s word soup last night.

Aberdeen tie.....wait for it......7.30Ko on sat night of 7 February!!
What a crappy time. Be lucky to get home for 2 in the morning. Certainly won’t be taking my son up there. Pricing is away to pot as well. £23 and £18 for a concession.
Typical Aberdeen -
There we go…. It’s only a matter of time. Daily record report
“Motherwell insider says it’ll take £3m fo Celtic and rangers to get Maswanhise” lol
I know many of you don’t think it’s a problem but if I was manager of the club and I had to deal with crap like this initiated by one of my own players I would be going fkn mental.
Just another problem the manager now needs to deal with and answer to at his press conferences…. A problem he can do without -

Way to miss the point.
What I'm saying is if you have exactly the same player at Stranraer, Motherwell, Hibs and Celtic the transfer fee received is going to be in a pretty predictable order.
Accies got £3m for James McCarthy in 2009.
I can’t recall Accies having a conveyor belt of quality talent prior to him.

Seeing James Scott playing for Ross County on Saturday, (as well as Allan Campbell signing for St. Mirren after sitting around for 6 months without a club) should have been a reminder that virtually none of the players we've sold on for big money have really made any real impact at a higher level.
Even arguably the best players we've produced in the modern era, James McFadden, Phil O'Donnell or Tom Boyd, have not exactly set the heather on fire down south.
You have to think that that affects any sell on price for a player after a while.
Certainly if I was buying from a club one of the first things I'd be looking at is, have players from this club succeed at a higher level?
Hibs can point to John McGinn at least.
Thats fine then, your quite right, let’s just punt him for nothing because of our past history of under achieving players.
nonsense

Mio - I’m with you big time on this one.
first of all - he should shut his mouth and have nothing to say about any Motherwell players value - he’s a player not our ceo . Know your place type thing .
If referencing other clubs players being with 6.5m etc , it would have been so much easier to say - this is a 22 year old international player here at FP who’s the leagues top scorer . Now if others are worth 6M then be interesting to see how much clubs would pay for the top scorer .
in all honesty it’s passed the time Halliday moved to his next role , either as a pundit or go play at Patrick or similar . I know he means well but I don’t really see him as promoting us, more himself and being dragged into the media OF that so many others have lived off for donkeys years
Totally agree.

3m is a lot of money for a club like us
When in the same breath he’s saying about Bowie being worth £6.5m….. get yersel to fk Andy.
When both of those poisons have recently bought Idah for £9m and Chermiti for £9m and TJ quoted for £3m utter baws!!

Why the fk is Halliday on a podcast saying it’d take £3m for Maswanhise to leave us in January?
he needs his arse booted. His opinions in general are fine but not when it comes to teammates and something which would make our team poorer.

Tawanda Maswanhise named among the Most Promising Talents at AFCON 2025!
we can just add an extra £2m at the end of the season for this. Thank you AFCON

Shane Blaney joins Sligo Rovers again on loan from Livi.
A name of a player and club that Sends shivers down the spine. What a horrible flashback.
good luck to him, he always gave his all.

I just do not see JT wanting to move to another team in Scotland? Why would he? There’s clearly teams down south looking at him, I know he’s a Zimbabwean international but his ties are in England, he’ll want eventually move down there and prove his worth and also get paid more than any other side will offer up here.
i dont really have any concerns of the talk from the Klarna twins and there payment plans.
my main concern is our manager getting bored of Scottish football by playing Aberdeen 5 times before the middle of February.

We’ll be a TV game I’d think? The other ties all look really gash!!

Oh FFS

Make no mistake.
Celtic recalled Welsh and played him tonight for exactly this purpose.
Subbing him off for Scales on 74mins proves it.
You could see he was fuming…. Shaking his head as he ran off. I feel for the lad as he has been Actively trying to leave, going to Belgium last year and then coming to us.
anyway it does look like Blantyre Celtic are through to the next round now 2-0….. wow
-
I’m not convinced Celtic would let him come back anyway, they’ll penny pinch and not be able to buy a centre half and to be honest, Welsh is the best they have.
I’m sure JBA is already looking at other defenders. What will be will be.
Welsh has now been taken off anyway….. he doesn’t look a happy boy! -

I think it was a police decision, they are basically admitting they cant handle the Celtic support .
Surely not, do they not know they are the best fans in the world.
damning considering Aberdeen took a couple of thousand to Darvel.

When you take into account the important games he couldn't play in, is it worth bringing him back?
I think that’s a fair question. He is used to how we play and the system but he’d be out for our cup games and 2 games (one hopefully in the top 6) against Celtic.
As much as I like Welsh and rate him I think I’d much prefer bringing in another centre half if that’s possible -

Assume he’s starting then? Hope he has a couple of howlers 😂
Yep, he starts. No surprise i suppose
I might have fancied Talbot if they had played at their own ground but they’ve sold their sole and cashed in
-
Well That’ll be Welsh not featuring for us in this years Scottish cup final triumph
-
The whole Martin Oneill at fir park looking as Maswanhise is all over the Celtic social media this morning….. please just fk the fk off!! You haveto laugh at them.
no bother Celtic, pay us £9m the same as you paid for that championship donkey Adam Idah and we’ll think about it.-

Motherwell v Kilmarnock 24/01/2026
in Club Chat
Posted
We’ve not lost a goal at home since the Falkirk game on the 18th of October.
Thats an unbelievable stat considering we are Motherwell. And it’s unbelievable I hadnt thought about this until today.
hopefully tomorrow will extend that stat
