rowsdower Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 "This vague plan to sell our club down the river is good enough for me, unless the Well Society counter with a very detailed plan that is accurate to the penny, is clearly better than the one I don't know the details of, and gets us a TV show like Mac and Deadpool did." I think this tenuous netflix link has caused some folk to lose the run of themselves. Take that out and I doubt any of the current supporters of it would fancy it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our fan base is full of morons who see doing something (whatever that may be) as being better than doing nothing. The WS don't need to make alternative plans beyond slightly refining what we have in place now. By that, I mean binning some of the bowling green brigade we have on the board just now.

wellboy1991 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Callachan ffs. That’s a hard no from me. However he really does sound like a Kettlewell signing. Especially with being injured. Would be a signing that would be pointless IMO. Unless we need an injury prone player on the books to replace Obika and Soare? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why we have an elected Well Society board to make these decisions! Look at how the Well Scoiety was set up. Out side of elections the basic membership has almost no say on the day to day running of the society. To instruct the Society to do anything you need to call a general meeting and get 66% of the vote for even the smallest thing, going up to 75% for any major change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 I did see someone make the Brexit comparison the other day, but the chat from the Executive Board definitely does give me flashbacks to the "350m to the NHS" written on the side of a bus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 On a slight change of topic but I see Aberdeen signed Mitov from St Johnstone. That will likely leave us and St Johnstone looking at similar targets keeper wise. I'd like to recommend Scotland international Liam Kelly to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it will do is cause division. There is zero up side to it. And if you lose, you lose big. Do the Well Society board want to be the David Camerons. Forever known as the people who gave away the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also remember, back then thinking "Surely there's no chance enough people will fall for this?" Which does still give me slight concern about this deal actually being passed. 95% of what I've seen online is against the investment, but I don't have twitter and haven't been brave enough to venture onto Steelmen Online. I did also see barely anyone in favour of the last vote online and that ended up winning unanimously. You also wonder how the older demographic, who may not be across social media, will vote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is out of all the Society Members how many are actually paying attention. How many are involved in chat on here and Steelmen? 100 maybe. How many are downloading the Motherwell accounts and looking to see what the club is actually worth. How many know what EBITDA is. I don't. The whole point of having an Board of the Well Society is so that ordinary members don't have to do all this. The Society Baord have made their position clear, that this is a bad deal because they have looked at the detail. They should not expect ordinary members to undertake the same dilligence. And that is why they should step in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See this is a myth about older people. I'm in my 60s as are most of my Well supporting mates and believe it or not we're all media savvy, we just don't live our lives online. There's about 20 of us who regularly meet up and there's not one of us who think this is a good deal. Some were initially swayed by the glamour of an Anerican media mogul and all the marketing opportunities that could bring Motherwell to a more global audience. That soon evaporated when the figures were produced. There's no doubt ones out there who will vote in favour (if one ever happens) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s another picture… … But student halls shenanigans notwithstanding, he hasn’t played in more than a year. I’d use the immortal damning with faint praise comment - I’d have kept him but I’m surprised he’s found a club at Motherwell’s level.
