2026/27 Ins & Outs Discussion

[MJC]

As I’ve said many times before, European qualification for me is just a bonus for a very good season or a Cup win.

The ‘reward’ for me was how good we were last season when we were at our best. On paper of course it is great for the club and yes, financially it is good for us (albeit we have reported it has cost us money in the past) but I am more concerned with what happens ON the park for us and I just can’t get on board with this idea of mere playing a couple of Euro qualifiers being held up as some sort of trophy by the club because it looks good on paper, and by the supporters because they get to enjoy a piss up abroad somewhere when the actual football is very much an afterthought.

Each to their own and of course and no harm to the Motherwell fans who invest time and money to travel for these games, but it’s just not for me.

I don’t think it’s accurate to say we can’t control the signings and that slower due to World Cup 

here’s the SPL

• Aberdeen – 11
• Heart of Midlothian – 11
• Falkirk – 10
• Dundee United – 9
• St Johnstone – 8
• St Mirren – 6
• Kilmarnock – 6
• Rangers – 6
• Dundee – 5
• Hibernian – 5
• Motherwell – 4
• Celtic – 1

In addition we had more players leave than any other club so a known rebuilding job .
