joewarkfanclub Posted Monday at 11:49 Share Posted Monday at 11:49 Brilliant podcast. Puts the position across eloquently and succinctly. Any chance it can be shared on FB and Twitter to try and reach those with only a lose relationship with the facts? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoF Posted Monday at 12:15 Share Posted Monday at 12:15 16 hours ago, thisGRAEME said: I wonder if it's a generational thing, more than a social media thing? Folk of my age saw all manner of stupid plans blow up from various clubs like ourselves, Clydebank/Airdrie United, Livi, Gretna, a couple of Dundee's, so I'd say if you're in your 30s, you've probably got a very healthy level of scepticism towards any new owner/scheme because of these. If you're in your teens or early twenties, you saw Rangers pop but broadly aside from that, almost everyone else has been faintly sensible for a while, so maybe you don't have that? I’m not so sure. Scrolling the official Facebook pages of the club and the well society, pretty much every single reply in support of this proposal (and critical of the WS) looks well over 30. And I’ve checked. Because I’m a creep that way. I know Facebook is now for old people which will no doubt have skewed my detailed analysis there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, "Motherwell Chief Executive warns against the impact of foreign investment" is definitely an interesting angle to take a week before a vote on erm...potential foreign investment. But again, maybe that just me reading too much into things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't contracts traditionally run till season end/end of May, that's why Dec and Kelly's contracts were extended? Quote Motherwell might be looking to bolster their defensive options, but the club has allowed former captain Liam Kelly to depart this summer. He got a hearty handshake and door help open more like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camer0n_mcd Posted Monday at 14:17 Share Posted Monday at 14:17 That'd be our 10th signing of the summer (our 9th permanent signing), it's incredible we're managing to do all this business despite being skint and desperate of a cash injection, unless of course.... We're not. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadStar Posted Monday at 14:17 Share Posted Monday at 14:17 Almost encouraged by the squad building getting done early by Ketts. Compared to the lack of signings at this time last year can only be a good thing right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly one with links to the markets we tend to bring players in from. This isn't me having a go at Weir, I think he was dealt a bad hand and did what he could alongside Daws and Kettlewell to clear the decks and still bring in just about enough last year.

camer0n_mcd Posted Monday at 14:20 Share Posted Monday at 14:20 Quote In the vast majority of player contracts in the Premier League and the English Football League (EFL), the expiry date will be 30 June of the final year of the contract. In normal circumstances, all domestic and European competitions are completed in advance of June 30 so as to avoid players’ contracts expiring prior to the end of the competitive season. 5 minutes ago, Vietnam91 said: Don't contracts traditionally run till season end/end of May, that's why Dec and Kelly's contracts were extended? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive shrug...there's definitely an advantage to being done early but there's some players of a higher quality who only become available or decide to commit later in the summer. You only sign for us in June if you're sure there's nothing better out there... I'd assume with the lwb we're basically done and will hold off the rest of the budget to see how it starts and if there's extra additions available at the deadline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity he missed last week but I wonder if his contract expired yesterday/today so he wouldn't have made it anyway? I mean, it wasn't the main takeaway from the Caldwell article @Handsome_Devil posted but I did clock this tacked on at the end and wondered when the interview had happened (given we brought in Hegyi at the tail end of last week) and whether he meant *this* week. Quote Caldwell admits it’s been all hands to the pump in the recent recruitment drive that has brought Liam Gordon and Ross Callaghan to the club. He said: “This summer has been absolutely crazy. I have been working right through the close season because we have a squad to rebuild. We were third-top league scorers last season but finished ninth so that tells you a lot about the team. At the end of the season we only had eight or nine players under contract so it’s been quite a significant squad rebuild. I’m hopeful by the end of this week we will have 22 players signed up and ready to go for the new season.” Edited Monday at 14:28 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
