Kmcalpin Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 MFC in its dignified Official statement made a plea for us, the fans, the rally round the club. If we can aafford to and are able to, we should show our support by attending Tuesday's game (if its on) and selling the raffle tickets that have been sent out to season ticket holders - this initiative seems to have been forgotten, not surprisingly, in the wake of other events. Proceeds to be returned to FP before Christmas. Management, Directors and players all move on we will remain - we are Motherwell Football Club.

To many of them are to busy makin up daft wee songs to sing at Craig Broon next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted December 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 After whats happened I have no time at all for Craig Brown and I can quite understand our fans wanting to have a go at him but I'd rather we channelled our considerable energies into helping the club now in its hour of need.

themighty Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 I'm a season ticket holder and haven't had any raffle tickets. Don't even know what it's about? Clearly I've missed something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 I would like to see the club getting more stuff up on ebay. All the shirts did really well and this could be an almost constant source of income. With Xmas right around the corner they should be looking to take advantage.

Yir Elder Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Good post Dave. I'm sure many fans will roar their disapproval at the manner of Brown's departure. However, the main focus has to be getting 100% behind those still at the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orinoco Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 maybe the club was duped and put to much trust on this gentlemans agreement, hence why they never pushed for a contract to be signed. Maybe the old twat threatened to leave if he was pushed to sign a contract. Remember, the phantom agent who was trying to get him to be the Director of football job at Celtic. Given what's happened youve got to wonder if that was another invention by the twat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fi2810 Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 I would say that the best way to protest would be to get firmly behind the team and encourage them to get back into Europe again. Show everyone MFC can rise above all these goings on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaag Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 I think that no matter the circumstances, our management team and any other asset of the club should ALWAYS be on contract. After the decent start to the season we had I would've had them both in and told them that the deal was, if they wanted a job, they sign on the dotted line. This gentlemen's agreement malarky doesn't wash with me. Football is a business ffs. Motherwell have either been incredibly naive or incredibly stupid in this instance - and either way, we've all had our fingers burnt as a result. Don't get me wrong, I'm pissed off at Broon and Knoxy too, but this should never have been allowed to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All very well and good to say that you are unhappy at the lack of contract but the fallout has propelled your website into viable territory. Be thankful. Regardless of any mistakes, it is time to get behind the team. Mon the 'Well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedie Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 With the site views increasing it can't be long before Gaag is tapped up to run a "bigger team's" message board. The Celtic banner ads are just a starter for ten. Wait til he gets the call and he'll even be able to afford a main and desert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
