Steve Diggle Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 if this is true (and there's not really alot of substance, yet to say it is) Jack Ross would be a Tommy McLean type signing. Low cost, unspectacular, in to do a job. Really heartened to see that the old Gannon is a wank / Broon is god gap narrowing a wee smidgeon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onthefringes Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Anybody heard the rumour that Jack Ross (St Midden) has signed a pre-contract with us for next season ?? Hope it's a load of bull. Well, he hasn't. Not even on the radar 33? 34? Goes against the grain (Craigan apart) of what is trying to be achieved at our club, no?

Rammer Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 I overheard McGhee and Leitch in a pub in Aberdeen recently talking about Motherwell being interested in Jack Ross. They were also saying how good our under-19's were. Just thought I'd throw that out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat_tony Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 I would imagine, if true that he's being signed as a bit of experienced defensive cover should Craigan be out injured or we need an extra bit of experience at the back for certain games. Could be wrong though, maybe he would be our new starting right back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Diggle Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Enlighten me Diggle. Enlighten yerself. Your grasp of how harsh the finiancial situation the club is actually in is a tad limp IMHO. We need to cut costs big time We need to sell players big time We need money coming in through the turnstiles big time.

LadywellToi Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 There is a deal of naivety on here about the financial situation of the club. We have been affected financially by every one of the post split fixtures, where is our reward for finishing top six? It appears the penalty will be approximately £100k + and this is cash John Boyle has to find from his own pocket. OK, he's worth a bob or two but this is still a huge amount of money in a season that looked so promising a few months ago. The impact of reducing the season ticket price by even £10 would have a major implication for the forward budgeting of the club. I think what's important here we recognise that events have conspired against MFC this season and to be fair they have fought their/our corner vociferously. A season ticket allows a club to forward plan based upon a guaranteed income at the start of the season. By facilitating a repayment scheme they still have to ensure they get their money, therefore leading to a third company arranging it as a personal loan, otherwise if there was no penalty and the team was doing particularly poorly then there would no doubt that some would default on further payments leaving the club in quite a problematic position. There has been comments on this website to that effect already and despite this seasons league position whcih has be considered a success based on May 2009.

gary_411 Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Not sure if it'll be anything to do with players re-signing but the club twitter today said: "And - this coming week, expect not one, but two big news stories coming out of Fir Park! Exciting times!". Fingers crossed we've manage to tie up deals on a couple of players but either way it sounds like good news is on its way. Maybe even to do with ticket prices?

Finlay Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Hateley? Jennings? Lukas? All three? Seriously, I'd expect one of them to be the announcement of a new kit supplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malky79 Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 New deals for Jennings and Hately would do for me. I'd take Coke but he's blown hot and cold over the season, Jennings provides that bit of dig and Hately is versatile so in player resigning terms that'd keep me happiest barring the seemingly impossible return of Ruddy.

el-pidge Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 I hope the news is 3year deals for jeggings, job, coke, roody and the duke, PSV making a 2mill bid for Reynolds, £200k compensation from the spl, an artifical pitch for next season, new hummel kits with spearmint rhinos sponsorship deals (including a half-time entertainment package) Im not asking much.

Sounds all good - except Hummel. Didn't Hearts refused to pay up Hummel's contract because the quality of their shirts were shit (well it was the excuse they used).

We need to cut costs big time We need to sell players big time We need money coming in through the turnstiles big time. Merely to survive Thanks Diggle. I cannot disagree with anything you've said, although I feel the bit about club finances is a tad harsh. My point was really that I do not understand how missing out on the `Celtic at home` money is a `catastrophe`. I believe the club should aim to balance its books without top six money. I was trying to point out that despite Motherwell actually having a good year financially, we are being told that a loss will be made and this will impact on signings. If that is the case I am disappointed we are spending money we don't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
