Erskine Alpha Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 If/when we don’t get our preferred targets then we are forced to play our youth. This might provide a good sink or swim platform for those guys and we might even save ourselves money if they start knocking in goals. This of course is a big if. Either way it looks like a dogfight at the bottom of the table for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellsince75 Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Good news kvv will be at FP at the weekend bad news he won’t be in our dressing room if we can’t match up to st mirren or killie in terms of salary when we’re running small squad I seriously worry about our way forward as a club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Questions need to be asked. We pay out more on wages than St Mirren or Killie going by accounts but we can't afford to make KVV a decent offer despite being very low on numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone pointed out on twitter a few days ago St Mirren are getting bigger crowds than us just now. More gate money coming in. Its always going to be tough for a club like Motherwell given that we are fan owned and have a relatively small core support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunderwell Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 10 minutes ago, steelboy said: They are a charity. They can't give St Mirren money. That's correct. You are right. I think what we can take away is they spent 1.4 million less than us in salaries. We lost a million, they broke even and just wait until we publish 2023 in line with them. 2 manager sackings and panic buys to stay in the league. That for me is why they are stronger just now and we are tightening up the purse strings. The board cant lose 7 figures two years in a row of "our money" in some ways. So get used to our new tighter squad whilst we work towards Break Even. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think the board will not budge and do this two years in a row to save our season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
