Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons


Recommended Posts

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).

Under £2m, over 6 years, to become majority owner of the club seems absolutely mental.

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.

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.

"We do not believe it is remotely acceptable that the incoming investors should receive three of eight seats on the Executive Board, plus the Chairmanship, and a casting vote in the result of a stalemate from day one."

Aye, get that straight in the fucking sea!

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.

For £300k down ..... the price of a Cala home behind the South Stand.

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.

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.

Utterly woeful offer, and a total dogs dinner of a statement from the club. And just pie in the sky loose ideas from Barmack on how to run the club.

Step one should be rejecting this. Step two should be the Society board calling an EGM to remove the executive board with immediate effect for publicly saying this deal should be accepted. How can McMahon and the exec genuinely feel this is an appropriate offer?
