Did I read "Income from members was £200k and after expenses the funds increased by around £155k" as the Society has expenses of £45k? Are the board members paid?

Nah. I assume they'll get expenses but not paid.

As mentioned below, 45k in costs seems good going.

I was thinking that Mcgrath would maybe have better offers on the table, but i'm actually not sure he will, can't see hearts or Aberdeen going in for him, not sure on Hibs either having signed Levitt. 

So we could be in with a shout, saying that, not sure we actually need someone in that area of the park.

I'm sure I read somewhere that they helped to fund our walking football teams trip to Newcastle for a tourney.

Shameful they would spend money on that and not Paneer and Pakora research #BurrowsOut

Cheers all 👍

Aye, had we not signed Davor then he'd be a ready made replacement for Goss, but given we now have Davor/Miller/Paton/Maguire (eep!)/Slattery for those two positions it's not a critical gap needing filled now.

Mercurial foreign striker required first.

Motherwell boss Stuart Kettlewell is looking at ‘flawed’ players that maybe have a point to prove, as he bids to bolster his squad further.

The Fir Park boss admits that players who may not have had the best season but can be improved are on his radar, and says they don’t have money to pay transfer fees for anybody.

He said: “I’m not pleading poverty or trying to make excuses here, but we don’t have top dollar to go out and sign players willy-nilly or pay transfer fees.

“We’re not paying transfer fees for any players, we’re looking for free agents, guys that have maybe had a flawed season or maybe haven’t been at their best for a spell.

“It’s our job to try and see if we can turn that into a successful season. That’s where we are.

“To do that you have to find the right one, or the right one that your coaching methods or managerial skills can resonate with, and you can your absolute best out of.”

Kettlewell added: “We have to move some players out before we can move anybody in, so we’ve been actively trying to do that.

“I think I’m being fair as well – if I don’t see them fitting into the system or what I’m looking to do.

“These guys have know that for a period of time, that doesn’t just fall on their lap one day and they hear, unexpectedly, that they’re not a part of things – that’s something we’ve been working on for a while.

“That gives me an opportunity to bring in a couple of players if that happens.

“If it doesn’t, as always, I’ll work with the players that we have at our disposal, and there will be no complaints.

“There are one or two guys that we’ve spoken to, that we’ve identified might not get that game-time that they would expect, or hope for.

“Everyone has been treated fairly and given ample opportunity to show what they’re about.”
