Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons

I’m still convinced Clarke will take 4 keepers, to avoid difficult decisions and noses out of joint. Jack & Doak seem the obvious ones to drop out.

Clarke seems to have a strong loyalty gene, that would be the only thing that got Kelly on the plane.

I don't know the exact particulars to it but I remember reading that the money goes to the team the player served over the past season, even if you have a guy on loan I'm sure you even get a cut of it.

I know this season is one Kelly will want to forget but it would be a shame to miss out on going when he was the only one thats consistently been there throughout the qualification.

I'd rather have Bevis than that Livi Diddy.


is the OX no.1?

Offering Butcher anything is mind blowing to me.

Obika's details being missing is a mind f**k.

Just 11 senior players on the books. Is that a record?

Kettlewells recruitment hit rate has been pretty decent (with some obvious exceptions) so I’m kinda optimistic he’ll put a decent team together this summer.

Clear as mud really when everyone with a tracksuit and black gillet aren’t covered.

Kelly deffo walking. Positive.

McGinn signing a potential 2 year is welcome-ish.

Bevis still in the picture is worrying.

SOD being offered a contract too has a feel of getting the band back together about it.

If Okiba has any sort of Hail Mary after playing the equivalent of 5 halves of football then someone needs put in stocks and pelted with rotten fruit.

Bevis is never leaving this club, eh. 

Heard that the slight delay in announcing he's re-signed is just down to ironing out the fine details on who he wants as the opposition in his testimonial....

Suppose we don't have the context of what deals have been offered.

Butcher, for example, may have been offered a significantly reduced deal because Kettlewell likes having him about, but if he's no going to play much then the contract has to reflect that.

Could be a similar situation with Bevis, if he's happy to stick around as more of a squad player then fair play.

Great news about McGinn (captain?). Hopefully Nicholson and SOD stay on too. 

Spittal we knew about, interested to see where he fits in at Hearts.

Glad to see Kelly leaving, while he's had his good moments over the three and a half years, after this season's horror show it really was time for a change, for both parties. He'll pick up a decent wedge sitting on the Ibrox bench and playing the odd cup game. Look forward to him chucking a couple in at Fir Park when we dump them out in the quarters next season.

Offering literally all of that defence from last season a new deal is some approach...

Absolutely horrendous. I'm not surprised in a way but absolutely...Jesus Christ.

Yeah, decision making like this could have me grabbing a pitchfork and sanding shoulder to shoulder with @Busta Nut very easily.

I mean he was only foiled from keeping the defence pretty much intact by Butcher thinking he could get more elsewhere.

33 year old - offered a deal (declined), 33 year old offered a year with an year option and a 32 year old looking like he's been offered the same.

My guess would be that Obika must have triggered his option as there's no mention of him in that blurb from Kettlewell about players leaving (although he doesn't mention Callan Elliot either).

 

awww naw

Just 11 senior players on the books going into the summer. Is that a record?

Kettlewells recruitment hit rate has been pretty decent (with some obvious exceptions) so I’m kinda optimistic he’ll put a decent team together this summer. That said, if central defence is his one blind spot then we’re fucked.
