weeyin Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 tl;dr No ill feeling towards the club. The direct quote I see from Tait on the BBC website is: Quote "I actually signed the contract and sent it back but it was a bit of a wait to hear back from them. "Obviously, the league finished and Motherwell were third, so I thought the contract was fine. But they rang me and pretty much tried to change terms. I walked away out of principle more than anything. "I've no ill feeling towards the club but I felt at the time they were just taking advantage of a bad situation. So, I just thought I'd take a risk and leave and luckily for me it worked out." and the club said: Quote "We made a promise to Richard that we would look to review his contract at a later date, once there was greater clarity over supporters being able to return to stadiums," it read. "We are disheartened that someone who has been part of the fabric of our club for four years would make an accusation that we would try and take advantage of a grave situation like Covid-19. "It should therefore be noted that Richard chose to reject the new terms offered to him by the club. We did not withdraw the opportunity for him to remain part of Motherwell Football Club. He is fully entitled to follow this path and we respect his right to do so." I'm sure everyone that lost their income during Covid was gutted for him.

yosemite sam Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 He had the contract for a while, then actually signed it after the situation with covid had changed, hoping the club would just rubber stamp it. But they couldn't for the reasons given regards the uncertainty around the situation. So I for one have no sympathy for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grizzlyg Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Mandron signs for Buddies. Unusual for them to sign an ex well player. Probably tempting fate when they play us but I am glad we didn't offer him a new deal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather any of our scarce resources were spent elsewhere in the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzyB Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Mandarin wasn’t THAT bad, but happy he hasn’t re-signed. Obika is a better player. Still needing another striker, or maybe Efford is being put into that role. Not exactly loving our forward options going into the new season so far.

weeyin Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 I'd be surprised if we don't have one more striker in by the end of August. And be interested to see if they take the number 10 shirt or if we are planning to sign a 'proper' number 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
