The costings in the plan for many of the initiatives just seem way off, as @thisGRAEME has already highlighted. Some genuinely head scratching projections for income anaw. But the major takeaway for me is how reactive the Barmack's whole plan is to the Well Society document - really makes it seem that either it's been hurridly reworked from an existing plan that only the exec board have been privy to, or it's been written over the last few days directly in response to the WS plan. Once again - we're talking about an investment approach that has been going on for 6 months now, and has already been rejigged from a laughable offer which was made before the Well Society plan was even published. Suddenly, with a vote looming it's all about working directly in partnership with the WS, dovetailing with their development plan - how convenient! Around 75% of what EB is proposing is already part of the WS plan, without the need for members to increase their contributions in exchange for less of a shareholding and less control of the club's strategic direction. This is not 'preserving fan-ownership as the backbone of MFC's operations' as EB's business plan asserts - quite the opposite. Ultimately, both plans talk about values and community but the difference is that the WS plan walks the walk - the actions, initiatives and investment approach it proposes is rooted in the local community, reflects the club's and societies' values and gives something back to fans and people and businesses in Lanarkshire, all while improving the club's infrastructure / governance and growing it's finances. The Wild Sheep approach talks a good game but when it comes to proposed actions it's all speculative digital opportunities, making the club more attractive to foreign investment, connecting with influencers... where is the commitment to the community and maintaining the long-term stability of the club's core audience in all of these 'creative iniatives'? As someone who has worked a lot in the third-sector, that's a huge red flag for me. You can't claim to be values-led and then pay complete lip service to that concept in your strategy and outcomes. Snake oil stuff.

If thats true and i dont know. Then with the finances as bad as they are allegdly now, then there wouldnt seem much hope for them unless someone else wins the lottery

The fact that the above still needs to be said to folk is unreal.  The level of investment needed for Motherwell to consistently finish above the rest of the 'diddy' clubs would be off the scale.  The idea that an amount of circa £300k a season is going to get even remotely close to that is now way past being funny, it's downright fucking stupid. 

Charlie Telfer to Ross County? Not the kind of player you need in a relegation fight I would have thought. 

Ironically we need a Brown type of player in that midfield. A real b*****d, with a bit of technical ability for good measure.
