Skys said they would honor the deal for one season without Rangers. That to me says they will continue for this next season and renegotiate after that. It may be that they continue with the original contract which would have run to 2014 had the new one not been agreed last november. The old contract was £3 million a year less than the new one.

Maybe he flew to Sneck for his hols.................wee change from Drum

They turned me away when i asked about it. They won't do them in case anything happens to it cause they cant replace it since they dont sell it in there shop What an awful shop! Shows a lot of confidence in their staff then! lol Not staff......equipment

According to some press he only went away last weekend

They have a collective brain my dear.............its called the Lodge.........and the initiation 'ride the goat' is all about taking a good kicking.

Sorry people but theres a couple of points being missed here. Jonny hasnt yet decided what he's doing. He's been away on holiday. Obviously come back and told his agent to hang fire. Butcher is away on holiday. Jonny wants to talk with Terry before he makes a decision. Please stop the conspiracies and let time take its toll. Personally I see the guy staying.

The main league sponsor, Clydesdale Bank, has one more season to run. They are not pulling out early. Sky TV have a deal in place. They have publicly said they wont be pulling out. They may renegotiate but they wont pull out. Motherwells figures are based on neither of those two puting the cash up. They are over dramatising because the Grand Master says they should.

Wish I could suss how they arrive at their figures. TV monies and league sponsorship monies are in place for coming season. There has been no move to change any of that. They may lose out on a few bums on seats but so will every club. Fact is, and its a well known fact, that the people of Motherwell and indeed those who run the FC also have sympathies for the west of Glasgow and a tendency to join them in July festivities each year.

Maybe they should do what some other clubs have to do and cut their cloth to fit. Move out high earners. We have to do it. Hearts are doing it. Maybe then we'll all get to a situation where all teams can compete on fairly even terms.

Top place play-offs wouldn't be fair. Two teams fight out all season in expectation of champions league place, which is worth a lot more money than Europa place, only to then be jeoperdised by a play-off. NFL play-offs are to reach Superbowl. Your introducing play-offs for two competitions.

Bit unfair on the nine teams being dumped out of the league as well and where's your missing team going. Drop nine leaves 33. 2x16 = 32. How about 3 leagues of 16 = pyramid leagues North, East and West Have a playoff system Play each other twice Make league cup a group system 8 groups of six 2 from each to knockout stage. That would produce more than enough games to make up shortfalls.

So technically he has to turn up for training on 29th.........unless he pulls a sicky of course

Just going by the date he actually signed for us.

Didnt realise Chorley was a wilderness.

Think Jonny is still under contract to us till mid july. Also think its 29th that players get together.

They may need to take a year out anyway. They wont have a team put together in time for season start. Unless its a team of youth players. Imagine the party if they couldn't get out of Div 3 at first time of asking

Accepted. I was going to sit last night and work out the total mileages for us and Killie but Ronaldo took my attention instead.

Mistake in your letter CD...........Inverness to Motherwell is 173 miles and not 116.6 Inverness to Dundee is 138 and not 119 These mileages are according to AA route planner.

Dont see him having too much of a problem first two rounds but if Cillic gets through then that could be a tough one. Cillic is improving all the time and is an excellent grass court player.

What you say there Libero appears to me to be a contradiction. You say that Scottish players demand more because thay know they can get more down south yet we have to go down south to get cheaper players. If there's more money on offer down there then why are so many willing to come north? They could just stay south and the Scottish players wouldn't have places to go.

http://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/Sport/Football/Malpas-wants-decision-from-duo.htm Last season Butcher said it. This season Malpas is saying the same. That Scottish Footballers are too expensive. The average wage in Scotland is around £20k yet our footballers are looking for wages way above that. Yes its a short career but does that give them carte blanche to demand the highest earnings. Earnings are one of the things killing the game in this country. The smaller clubs like ours cant afford to pay the prima donna salaries being demanded so the two or three clubs with the larger fanbase will always top the scales. Is it greed or are those players deserving of what they ask for? Bear in mind that bonuses are paid on top of salaries.

I'm sure Kevin announced recently that he was retiring and concentrating on media activities.

Do they??

How many has he assisted?

I had some down time and finally got back on CTO, I've missed it here!! As for refreshments, the honest answer is I don't know. August maybe? Being a man of leisure now M I'll look forward to the first time you travel up. And I'll buy the first one, especially if its on the train up. x
