Aye, I think this is a good deal for us and Bair but we're hardly ripping Auxerre off imo. I've seen a few folk make Conor Sammon comparisons in terms of getting a move off one good season- I know the Killie version was a different player from the one we ended up with but Bair has much more to his game than that IMO.

I'm not a big balance sheet guy but it's nice to get a fee in that £1-1.5m range- the first since James Scott I think? There's obviously been the pretty regular income stream of tribunal fees for young guys running their contracts down, the sort of random opportunistic deals like Gallagher, KVV or Watt plus the once (or twice) a generation Turnbull/Miller money. Bair feels like the first example in a while of the model working well, incredibly well really in this instance

We should still be fine obviously but watching Halliday, Paton and Davor try to break down a defensive League Two team sounds like a grim afternoon

What happened to the Raith PCAs?

aye, Zhukov having a Yorkshire accent was an inspired touch

Even Stalin wouldn't have disappeared Danzaki and Shields that well

I honestly, by several orders of magnitude, care much more about England losing this than I ever have about any Scotland game.

I was sort of assuming we'd be trying to punt Miller this summer. I mean km perfectly happy to watch him for another season but with contracts etc it seems this will be when his value is highest, unless he somehow scores 7 or 8 over the season.

Any idea if yous are hanging onto MacDonald? Genuinely not having a dig- just curious as I've got a few mutual friends etc. Not really someone I'd associate with now, like.

How much to be made Chairman?

Erik gets a slagging on here- what if its this "Courtney Barmack" that's behind it all?

Genuinely- has Moses had the best Motherwell preseason of all time?

I can't really keep up with all these Derek Watsons, Derek Wilsons and Andrew Wilsons. Is there an Andrew Watson?

Clarence Seedorf if we stretch it far enough

A good addition to the Motherwell Players Relatives XI that I compile in my head too.

Could have just kept Bevis

Callum Hendry is very Motherwell I think, for some reason

I'll be honestly I'd love to see an episode of The Stuart Kettlewell Show.

They keep calling the Premiership the "SPFL" too, you'd think a proofread/understanding of the Scottish league system might have caught that.

I know logically it had to be in the close season but did we have to have this entire business coincide with a European Championships and a General Election? My head is fried.

Sparrow #7 and Halliday at #11... concerns me.

I feel like I'm probably the Barmack camp's target voter. I was too young to properly appreciate administration. I want to see us compete for 3rd again. I've played too much FM. I'm raging we didn't sign KVV. I'm a Well Society member but I don't have any particular emotional attachment to fan ownership as a concept- but if it exists I want to support it as much as possible. I'd like to meet Elizabeth Banks. I'm still absolutely not voting for it. Call me naive but I really find it hard to believe that there's another 50% of Well Society members that are more pro-Barmack/anti-fan ownership than I am? Impossible to read into the psyche of the Facebook- investment at ALL costs- moonhowlers but the way they talk about the WS they don't strike me as members.

St Mirren are pleased to announce...

If Dundee sign Gorrin I'm voting for Barmack.

I'm honestly distraught about this.
