Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons


Recommended Posts

Tldr: we think you're stupid, let's end fan ownership for a pittance.

The Society should, this week, say there's no vote happening, let's restock both boards and start afresh with EB to see if any practical solution can be found.

Moving a home game against the Old Firm to Wembley?

 

Yes and ho! 

I would give that five greenies if I could.

The whole 'we've actually overvalued the club at £4M' is such breathtaking nonsense - I'm by no means an expert but have enough knowledge of loans, interest and commercial accounting from my own job to know clearly manufactured sh*te when I see it. Underpinning it all on the covid loan also seems incredibly convenient - and sudden, as those accounting 'complexities' for our debt seem largely absent from our signed off accounts post 2021? Unless I'm missing something?

Completely unrelated, I just got a text from a pal that works at HMRC who suggested the board should be careful about their next audit with such a huge change in valuation figures year to year...

If @capt_oats hadn't posted that Limmy gif already, I'd be putting it here. A ridiculous attempt at twisting the narrative by the exec board.

That statement says that it is Barmack + 2 other board members of his choosing. Is that a change? I thought it was Team Barmack 4, The Rest 4 (2 'WS + Finance Director + CEO)

Well that's a whole big pile of doubling down and nothing really new. Just the original statement padded out with even more words, 'we know best' vibes and condescension overload.

Wheres the Wally/Erik with his shiny new improved terms?

I don’t have the intelligence or patience to read these large statements, or indeed the long winded posts on here, but I take it nothings really changed?

See @capt_oats GIF posted above.

Also, 'we can't rely on transfer funds in our financial model' (umm, it's worked well so far) swiftly followed by 'transfer funds will be used to reduce the cost of the 'safeguard' buyback option' - what can you say about mental gymnastics like that?

Madness.

tl;dr

Many words from both sides in the last week, most of it waffle.

I'm waiting for the @Vietnam91 Match Of The Day-esque analysis commentary...

Don’t even know where to start with that pish statement tbh.

The tone was set early with the whole, ‘well you said it was too long, but want more info and now we are going to make it even longer’ pish. Then follow that up with beware it’s long and it’s technical for your stupid little minds.

Comes across as angry, patronising and condescending.

That's just the original statement but said slower and louder is it not?

With fewer details. e.g. there's nothing about Barmack receiving Chairman status for £330k, which is a huge concern of many of the fans.

From Erik's words on here, it seemed we would see some concessions in favour of the society so either he has not taken that forward, or the board have decided the original version was better and rejected the change.

The biggest issue for me is the assumption that the remaining non WS or EB shareholders would be aligned with the society and that this constitutes fan ownership. It has been obvious from the last week that some of our biggest individual shareholders are aligned with themselves only.
