Just need to clarify, Swello's post isn't salty at all, genuinely...he's just literally describing KVV as a person and the post wouldn't change no matter who he signed for, even if it had been us. That's just what the guy's personality is. If you want to get the best out of him, you need to make him feel like you think he's the best player that's ever been at your club (because he already thinks he is, and will feel disrespected and get huffy if you don't agree). For a more, erm....*balanced* view of KVV and what you're getting, check any match thread or our club thread, pre-Kettlewell.

Hing oan.... So, you're saying we get all the benefits, but with someone else picking up the cost? We're fucking geniuses lads!

Stacks up with what was said a few pages back. Good news if that's the case.

No horse = not interested.

There's loads of potential contract clauses that we wouldn't know about, that stop us from doing things like that though. As an example, your highest paid player(s) may have clauses to say that if someone comes in on a higher wage, theirs has a trigger to match it. Bringing in one player on significantly more than everyone else has the potential to hugely unsettle a squad, and have the senior players, captain and vice captain requesting a meeting. Wage structures don't just relate to what's available for the playing staff as a whole, but to make sure the salaries are appropriately proportionate throughout it.

Current Injuries Jon Obika - Body

My favourite thing about it was Hammell saying that he'd been up at all hours of the night video chatting with Riku for weeks, and that he seemed like a great guy, and then he got here and it turned out he didn't speak a fucking word of English

If that happens, they HAVE to do the announcement on a horse. They just have to.

On the radio yesterday they were discussing Kettlewell, and McCall said that he'd had a lot of business discussions with him over the past 2 weeks and found him to be a first rate professional.

Feels like ages since I've had anything positive to say, so here we go. Gent's delivery is absolutely superb. I was trying to think back during the game to when we last had someone that could put a ball in like that consistently, and I struggled. Montgomery with Gent in front is a VERY tidy left side, that I really enjoyed watching.

I don't think it's the case that cosmetic surgery always looks shit, it's more that you can't see the ones that aren't shit so it leads to a false perception of the success rate.

Bob McHugh was the next big thing for 8 years, so there's a good chance it's still him.

Aye so, in the cold light of day, the video's not actually that bad. I think what's gotten under my skin (and everyone else's it would seem) is the context of it coming out after we'd been told for christ knows how long about a fundraising and investment initiative. I expect most of us thought we'd hear about business pitches, partnerships, on-going discussions, revenue streams, maybe even some info about a future stadium move, boardroom restructure, potentially interested parties etc etc. And what did we get? "Taylor Swift, gie's some dosh" Sort of reminds me of when I spent 6 months telling my art teacher that I was working on this amazing design project to submit at the end of the year, and what I actually turned in was whatever I'd managed to cobble together the night before the deadline.

Tom Green's got family from Motherwell, maybe he'll start a consortium.

I mean I didn't expect this to be the actual plan

They all saw it before I did Jim, and now they're all laughing at me.

6 seconds in and I've had to pause it already. Holy f**k.

Curtis Main picking up Harry Cochrane and throwing him away is up there on my list of favourite things I've seen. I have to say I'd definitely take him back if he's available on a deal that worked for all parties. I think he'd be what the management were hoping Obika would be, only with an actual functioning body and as above, Biereth - Main - Theo would be a pretty interesting front 3.

We could get Sonic The Hedgehog while we're at it, he's fucking rapid.

That's absolutely massive. Potentially a season-defining result.

8th, and within 2 wins of the top 6. Duno what all the fuss was about!

Who needs a defence when you've got Sir Theloneus of Bair

Hutchy is the only player I've ever seen clear the Cooper stand with a header. Don't need calves for that.

We haven't won a game in about 12 years, and yet there's a team FIVE points behind us, and there's a scenario that could take us to 8th in a couple of days. Madness.
