I guess there's just a devil's advocate position where there's an outcome that suits both Alexander and the club. Not unlike the Mellon/United parting that @'WellDel mentions. Not read the post on SO but is our squad actually that bloated? You can definitely make the argument that he's not using the squad he has available but ironically that's in part what seems to have fucked up our season. We've 28 first team players listed on the first team page of which 2 are out on loan so we've 26 available. https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/squad/first-team/ We had 35 players or whatever last season and Robinson would regularly have 27, 28+ players kicking about on the books with a bunch that he'd have given up on inside a month or two. IMO a normal squad size comes in at around 24 bodies. We're 2 over as it stands. For comparison: United - 33 with 10 on loan = 23 available https://www.dundeeunitedfc.co.uk/team/first-team Aberdeen - 23 https://www.afc.co.uk/teams/1st-team/ Hibs - 26 https://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/squads/mens-first-team Hearts - 23 with 2 on loan = 21 available https://www.heartsfc.co.uk/squads/first-team/playing-squad Livingston - 25 (plus Gary Maley and Marvin Bartley) https://livingstonfc.co.uk/team/men/playing-squad/ St Mirren - 26 https://www.stmirren.com/teams/first-team/first-team-squad Dundee - 30 https://dundeefc.co.uk/team/first-team St Johnstone - 30 https://www.perthstjohnstonefc.co.uk/squads/first-team County - 26 https://www.rosscountyfootballclub.co.uk/squads Out of our 26, 5 players, (Reid, Jamieson, Finlayson, McAllister and Urminsky) are all on loan or are back from loan and not eligible to play. Millar and Dunne are out injured for the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) Mildly amused that in part the answer to "How the actual f**k did this gang make it into the top six?" is "by scudding St Mirren 4-2" (and by having more points than 6 other teams come the split).

The lot. I took a tractor to the wee working farm on-site and saw some coos too. An afternoon well spent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I was told this source was reliable (and therefore credible) in the past but I'm hearing this third hand. As I said, time will tell but I'm certainly not pretending to have inside information. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim McLean's Ghost Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 As long as we are all spreading rumours we heard. i heard Alexander is the one who started this. offered terms to leave to Flow. Reasons he would do this. He has a bunch of backroom staff coming up, he wants a nice payoff, he wants to be a free agent at the start of the summer. Usual talk that he has lost the dressing room too. Which with our current form and his management is not surprising. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has a bunch of staff coming up why does he want to be out of work and unable to hire them? Sorry if I'm being dense, I just don't follow the logic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I'm being dense, I just don't follow the logic. He doesn't want to mess those folk about. They are meant to be starting in the summer so if we hire them then bin him there will be a lot of hassle caused. Or you can see it as Alexander using them as leverage. Either pay him off now or have to pay more people off later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
