Popular Post well fan for life Posted June 11 Popular Post Share Posted June 11 Imagine turning up to sign for us right now. "Welcome in. Ignore the bedsheets and the folk packing their stuff." 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Surely that signing immediately kiboshes the idea that the club is on death's door and needs investment to survive. I'm sure decent six figure sums were being discussed when he was linked with St Mirren. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan is to spend 2 million quid on players this fortnight and then announce a sale for 20p because we're seven figures in debt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice that there's no mention of a fee 'undisclosed' or otherwise in either Motherwell or Palace's announcements but yeah that was the rumour. Also as @StAndrew7 says below: 11 minutes ago, StAndrew7 said: That narrative has only been pushed by one person, really. The outgoing chairman. And even then he had to walk it back when he had his absolute car crash of a press call after the video launch. I mean, I'm pretty sure Weir mentioned that we expect to at least break even this season (which is another point that folk wringing their hands about the losses over the last couple of seasons - when we sunk literal millions into capital expenditure projects - could do with taking into account).

It's gained traction online but I don't nink that it's permeated with the offline fan base. 2 minutes ago, capt_oats said: I notice that there's no mention of a fee 'undisclosed' or otherwise win either Motherwell or Palace's announcements but yeah that was the rumour.

Aye this narrative I think was only mentioned once by McMahon wasn't it It's probably been discussed more on here and other forums probably than anywhere else. Be good if we could stop referring to it full stop. Edited June 11 by eliphas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camer0n_mcd Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Was thinking to myself yesterday morning that it had been a bit quiet since the end of the season, since then we've had: • The takeover proposal announced • Had the Society board condemn it • Had 2 resignations from said board • Signed a guy on a 2 year deal for what will be a 6 figure fee • And been linked to a big Serbian striker. All in the space of less the 24 hours 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking of pish spouted. The more you look at the two bumpf's surrounding the resignations: "Following the statement released today from the majority of the Well Society Board, I unfortunately cannot align myself to much of the content." and "I’m at odds with the strategic direction currently being taken and cannot in all considered conscience continue in my role as Board Member" Supporting an offer to take the society from 71.7% to 46%, it’s peak mental gymnastics and questionable as to what their first duty lay, their electorate or fealty to what McMahon wants. All the majority on the WS are doing is following their own Articles of Association. Some choice clauses include: 2.i. to strengthen the bonds between the Club and the community which it serves and to represent the interests of the community in the running of the Club; 2.viii. to acquire shares in the Club, and to assist the Club by supporter representation on the board; 4.1.f. buy and hold shares in the Club; You know, all the stuff you lack alignment with and are at odds with strategic direction …... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
