Kelly will still be on his Motherwell wages + a wee bonus perhaps (e.g. a cut of the uefa fee) to make up any shortfall for signing for his new club later than planned where he will be on at least double the wages. Aye. I think the fact that it seems to be being framed by various media outlets as him signing a "short-term" deal which implies it's a new, fresh contract is causing folk looking from the outside in to see it as something more meaningful than it is when in reality the likelihood is that the expiry date of his existing Motherwell contract has been amended from 31st May to 30th June sometime in the last 6 months or so. Which is broadly what happened with Gallagher albeit that was a quid pro quo to get the gun from his head and get us to drop the extra year he'd triggered. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Hoping to harness the power of The Thread here) Don't think the wages are enough at Motherwell on probably his last big pay day. Family ties here, are a massive factor though , but our pay structure has limits. But..... Bring back The Hutch! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Don't know if it was mentioned at the time or if everyone was focusing on the survey and month by month season reviews but the club posted this last week and apparently we're now ahead of sales at the same point last year (feels worth mentioning as when Caldwell gave his update at season end his indication was that we were slightly behind but expected to see a pick up). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Under £2m, over 6 years, to become majority owner of the club seems absolutely mental. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handsome_Devil Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 It's amazing how months of negotiations, speculation and work cc an be summed up by "lol no". Even if you were willing to consider giving up fan ownership, and the risks that brings, you're surely not going to be tempted by this. It's an appalling offer. It's a shame we've wasted so much time on it but in another month we can hopefully put it behind us and move on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillips455 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Well get that much when the Championship clubs go mad for Bair this summer anyway! Or atleast Bair and Miller together. I can't believe anyone would take this kind of deal seriously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Hard no - I was open minded but for <2m over that period of time and the loss of fan ownership, it's not even worth considering further - it's derisory in fact. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desp Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Genuinely disgraceful from Jim McMahon. Like, fucking abhorrent stuff. He shouldn't be allowed anywhere near Fir Park again for trying to sell the jerseys in this way. I've no issues with seeking outside investment, but months go by for this? A shambles. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezz Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I'm absolutely astounded this got as far as it has with that level of offer. Months of negotiations for that to be presented as the offer!? A total shambles. Good statement from the Society though. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 The fact that anyone found this deal acceptable to agree to it in any sense is not far from being a scandal TBH. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
