mio Posted yesterday at 01:21 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 01:21 PM I’m not in the Tam Cowan school of selling anyone we can and keeping our “diddy club” going, although if a crazy offer does come in (which I’m 100% sure it won’t from those 2 parasites in Glasgow) then it does need to be considered. But if players are contracted and we are at present flushed with a decent bank balance then I agree….. fk selling to anyone. let’s strengthen this month and see where it takes us.

Stuwell2 Posted yesterday at 02:07 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 02:07 PM It’s all and well saying we don’t need to sell so don’t but if the players contract has a sell clause, another team offers the correct amount and the player want the move how do we stop that without upsetting the player and running the risk of putting off future players by not honouring our side of the contract? Not saying that it will happen but things are never clear cut and as such we need to trust in the board that whatever happens it’s done for the best reason.

I doubt very much our prized assets have clauses with sell ons considering we got almost all of them when they were out of contract and clubless. I think it was more of a verbal contract to say we are a shop window for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also fuckin someone over if you break a verbal agreement won’t go down well and would damage our reputation and relationships with present players and potential signings. .

It sounds like you're just making up stuff to be worried about. Some players will want to stay, some players will want to move on, some new players will be happy to join. Same as every season. That's for dealing with in the summer. Just enjoy the ride for now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewelllfan Posted 22 hours ago Report Share Posted 22 hours ago Realistically if you we're getting offers for Watt, Maswanhise or Just of 3m+ we're going to take it. Also if you look at it from the clubs perspective you'd rather JBA being the manager to replace them. If Slattery wants to stay get him signed up same with SOD all the others OOC should be allowed to move on. If Hendry's out we need a Striker in asap as Osong is poor and people seem to think Stama wants to move on which is fine as long as we recoup what we paid. Think for me this month we need 4 or 5 in everyone around us will strengthen so we're going to have to as well. From his tweets on X Watt's a Rangers fan so if he's angling for that move let him go and make as much as we can from the sale to replace him.

I don't disagree I'd far rather they go down South/abroad but at the same time the same way it was when Turnbull went to Celtic if the player wants the move and the money offered is at the level you want it to be their going to move on that is the clubs model and there's no way this time it would be any different.

I’m not worried about anything, was just replying to folk thinking that it’s easy to say no to offers and players leaving. Personally I’d be looking to sell Slattery and leave the rest until the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllyMax Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago Do the club not have a 1 year option on Slattery ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago Yes, bottom line pretty much always comes down to what the player wants, which is as it should be. However, what annoys me is agents/potential buyers getting inside players heads while they still have year+ of contract to go, basically unsettling them so that keeping them becomes almost impossible and you are practically forced into selling them.

fizoxy Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago We have a lot more players on 1 year options than I thought, I dont know how enforceable they are, but at the very least it gives us more negotiating power for fees. This summer Koutroumbis Gordon Connelly Robinson Nicholson SOD Slattery 2026 +1 year club option Balmer Stuparevic 2027 Hendry - paid a fee McGinn 2027 + 1 year club option Stam - paid a fee Maswanhise Watt Just - paid a fee Said - paid a fee Longelo - paid a fee Ward Ox Sparrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirParkCornerExile Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago 5 minutes ago, parko66 said: I'm sure he is on a 1 year rolling contract Correct. JBA won't be leaving mid season. Could I see him leaving in the summer? Most certainly if we continue going as we are. Whether that would be Aberdeen is debatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si91 Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago I listened to sports sound this afternoon and they played a clip of JBA’s interview from yesterday; he mentioned looking to see what the rest of this season could look like and what we could be as we head into next season. Someone mentioned this before - perhaps the platform Motherwell give/ have given is more important than a few extra pounds each month. It certainly is a great time to be on this particular Motherwell rollercoaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago No-one should be shocked at Thelin being sacked. After yesterday's result it was odds on. Have they/will they approach JBA? Who knows. Will he approach them ? Again who knows. If there is interest from either side then our Board will have no say in the matter. Thats not to say he would be interested, but money talks and he could double or treble his salary with them. Time will tell. The first test of his mettle. Anyways he can't leave for both Celtic and Aberdeen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can refuse permission to speak to the manager . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago The extra gate money coming in under JBA, with home crowds clearly up, should absolutely be used by the Board to sweeten his current deal. It would keep his focus on us rather than counter offers and would be a logical, now proven, investment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spit_It_Out Posted 17 hours ago Report Share Posted 17 hours ago JBA isn't going anywhere christ he might be more than happy at Motherwell everyone calm down sure he is going to leave us at some point but to Aberdeen nah I don't think so. Now if I was a St Mirren fan I be worried Robbo will be already speeding up the motorway as I type this after a sneaky couple of texts with Burrows. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
