Ya Bezzer! Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 On 5/12/2025 at 12:53 PM, weeyin said: I think we'll still see youngsters coming through, but you're right that a lot of the prospects will be nicked by other teams before we see them. That happens to teams much bigger than is, and isn't likely to end soon. That's why I'm in agreement with those people, like our CEO, who say the development payments need to increase. They haven't changed for a number of years while transfer prices continue to rise exponentially. The Covid seasons created a gap in development which hasn't helped, but at least we kept our academy active. Of course you can't guarantee any of the youngsters will make the step up, but if we do find any, the fact that we can offer first team football sooner still gives us some advantage. Cornelius was a Hibs youngster who didn't sign for us until he was 17 or so, so while we helped his development, he isn't really an academy product. Getting paid at Scottish Premiership wage levels over a career probably still makes you richer than one big move at 18 and then disappearing into a big club youth system never to be seen again. The key is giving youth players first team opportunities and the chance to actually develop a professional career. If we do that we will retain quality youth players, perhaps not all of them but some of them and maybe even most of them. With increasing costs and dwindling support there is basically no long term future without youth development. It should be central in our medium to long term planning at the club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wunderwell Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 17 hours ago, wellgirl said: They are. Particularly on Facebook. Ranging from we haven't had a new manager bounce to he's rubbish - it seems to be a pattern to be fair - when we get beat the chants of he must go go up. Some comments as well as to how he doesn't know the Scottish game. I think some people don't quite get that his stats are actually decent and - there are also people blaming him for the fact that we didn't get top six. I get that it's been a disappointing season in a lot of respects but come on - he can only do so much with the players he has and we are safe from relegation - job done in my view. I hope we scud Killie and Ross County just to prove the detractors wrong. where? I've read every single comment on Motherwell FC's Facebook for the last week and not one single person has said this. I mean some of the players don't fair well and there is grumbles - but there is no one calling for him to be sacked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizoxy Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 23 minutes ago, wellgirl said: but there were folk calling for Wimmer to go on Saturday and to bring Naismith in - or Arnott - which baffled me a bit as he's never managed a club. That's a take and a half 😆 Facebook is mental. People have been born and had kids of their own since Dougie last had any involvement in football, none of which involved coaching. Reminds me of when Colin O'Neil was complaining about not being considered, because he thought we should be handing out jobs on vibes.

wunderwell Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 1 hour ago, wellgirl said: Yes they have. There have been comments about getting him out and getting Arnott or Naismith in. Someone who knows the Scottish game was the exact comment - and the comment is still there. I've no reason to make it up when it's on the page. Yup you are correct. I changed from "relevant comments" to "all comments" and I can see what you are seeing. Even Facebook must know irrelevant comments and keep it off my feed Crazy stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistandshout1983 Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Good job there wasn't Facebook in the likes of 1995-1996 when we went something like 10 games without scoring under Big Eck, or in the last year of Billy Davies Going further back than that Tommy McLean would probably never have lasted up to 1991 either if the club hadn't seen what he had been trying to build I did read the one as well about Dougie Arnott at the weekend , legendary player he was but for anyone to suggest him as our new manager is ridiculous comment to make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I read about that as well What sounded so much better though in the book beating the same team 3-0 at new year , then Celtic 2-1 very soon Apart from McClair at Man United scoring goals my only other memory of him was coming back to Harry's revolution 🤣 Ended up at Blackburn as assistant manager if I remember right the same season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
