Wouldn't really surprise me if we lose by 3 or 4 with increasingly annoying ex-players scoring all of them. The scoring being rounded off by Declan with a gun to the head celebration. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Right - a great weekend in the mountains with no phone signal - think I'll check the score from Pittodrie and then have a read of The Thread. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m going to risk it anyway and take the hit. About 6 months ago, I got a new next door neighbour. Current Well player, from down south. Absolutely lovely guy, just a genuine nice guy. Down to earth and no airs and shits about him. Have become quite good mates with him and despite my previous attempts he doesn’t usually talk much about the club. Wee bits here and there. Rest of the neighbours are **** and Tim’s so they don’t care who he is . However this week he did say a few things. He came home from training the other day and was out with his dog, I asked ‘hard session today’. He laughed and exact words ‘never a hard session mate’. I looked at him and laughed. He then said basically training it’s an utter shambles, no one has a clue what the f**k is going on. Basically he has seen better organisation at the juniors or as he put it non league teams. Utterly amateurish with little emphasis on the graft in the game. He genuinely seemed gutted about it all. Hammell is not respected by the players and seemingly his ego is out of control. Big split amongst the players which has resulted in Burrows being approached bye multiple senior players. Burrows is a rabbit in the headlights and doesn’t have a clue what to do. Kerr is stuck in the middle and can’t bridge the gap with players and managers. However there is a big split with Kerr over something that happened with Barry Maguire, no clue what. He didn’t elaborate. Sounds pretty far fetched until you watch our team and it all makes sense tbh. We are an utterly divided team from top to bottom. Rudderless off and on the pitch. If all this is true then surely the board are aware of the problem. It is also quite simple to fix.. Get in an experienced manager who can revamp the training and motivate the players. The players must believe on what they are being asked to do. Too many of our players have regressed. It looks like they do not believe in the tactics and what they are being told to do.. There is only one solution change the manager and do it before it is too late. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather it said something like "don't lose your man at set pieces" or, "cross it to someone wearing the same shirt as you".

Knock me down I get the point you are making. However we have representation of the fans on the Board as part of the Well Society. So yes I do not run the club anymore than Busta or Yassin. But these representatives are available to the fans and will be well aware of our feelings. Also all the directors are fans. So technically we are actually being run by fans . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busta and Yassin running the club for a day would be highly entertaining.

I wonder what it would have said if someone other than "He's a Nice Guy/Club Legend" Stevie was the manager on this current run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 It's my opinion that the Well society/WS board have no influence what so ever at the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowsdower Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Is it just the one WS rep on the club board? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) No there are about 7 or so on the WS board. and I think 2 of them are on the club board. I'd have to ask again. Edited February 5, 2023 by Busta Nut 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliphas Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) That's right, Douglas Dickie and Tom Feely are the link. Sitting on the WS board and club board now as full directors. I think, from memory, prior the WS/Club rejig they were maybe just reps but not full directors? Could be wrong on that. The only other directors are Jim McMahon, Andrew Wilson and Flow. So I think Douglas and Tom definitely have the influence as is needed. They are involved in everything a director should be. But how much of that is actually driven from WS discussions I'd doubt.

They will give, as these people are there to do, frustratingly vague strategic goals such as 'put the club at the centre of the community', which the underlings then try to implement. The society owns the club because there's no alternative and the society board is a backstop to the club board to prevent total negligence - of the sort that goes way beyond picking a bad manager or having a shite team. I don't know what other sort of influence you think they could have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
