Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons

i don't know why a team would offer Kelly a contract to be number 1. He has been horrific and shat his pants live on the BBC vs Morton.

I can see him re-signing with us just because it is the path of least resistance. Same way Obika was signed.

 

That seriously would be depressing. We need a fresh start next season. Kelly signing even on reduced terms would be a retrograde step. 

Wipe the decks clean and start over imho.

What a segment handled so well. Amazing to see the footage of some of the play that day that was lost due to the tragedy but man it brought back a lot of the emotions.

Is Kelly still our most expensive signing?

Was a fee ever disclosed for Kelly? Surely we didn't pay more than the £500k, or whatever it was, we paid for John Spencer?

Aye I've never heard that patter

Aye. Until 5 posts ago I don't think anyone's ever claimed Kelly is our most expensive signing. Plenty of folk have claimed he's our highest paid player at the moment (and Aston Oxborough's our second highest :))

Either way, the season Kelly signed permanently the accounts showed we spent £542k on players and we paid fees for a few along with a development fee for Tierney. So you'd assume that whatever we paid for him was less than £542k and in all probability less than we paid for Spencer.

Anyway, I'm away to watch AVFTT now.

Aye, I do all the Alloa media. Just seems complete bizarre to be added to the mailing system.

I get marketing emails from St Mirren because I've been to away games there which I find odd so I see where you're coming from.

From memory Kelly, Slattery, Ojala, Johansen and Efford were all under contract when we signed them and as I say we'd have had to pay Bohs a development fee for Tierney (and maybe even Mahon).

Alexander really convinced the purse string holders he had a grand plan eh?

While Spencer is the top fee paid, is Sean McSkimming the second? I think we shelled out £300k for him in the mid 90's. As Kelly is combined with a number of other payouts in that financial year, it can't be more surely?

Will be interesting to see if Ketts is as ruthless with guys he brought to the club as we was with other managers players this summer.

 

*Just checked £300k in 1994 is £610k today. Mad times.

Is anyone else watching the game on ‘dodgy stick’ the Motherwell TV channel seems awful quality. But the Aberdeen one is perfect. Found our Well TV streams to be crap recently.
