News reports suggest that James McFadden has been left behind in Hong Kong as a result of a "ticketing problem"...

9.30am

One of this morning's papers is reporting that we could be under new ownership in two weeks.  Potential bidders have been trawling their way through the club's accounts as they prepare their bids.  A club source is quoted as saying:
"I think within the next fortnight things will have moved on.  The interested parties are sitting down with the their financial advisors and accountants.  Only once they have talked it through with their people can we take it forward in a Motherwell sense.  That process takes time but I'm confident we can move on within the next 14 days.  The ball is firmly in the court of the interested parties."

Meanwhile, the same paper reports that new Preston manager Craig Brown wants Billy Davies to join his backroom team.

Thanks to my old friend Stephen Todd for sending in the following report:

You may be interested to know that I had to call 999 late last night (around 10 pm) as plumes of black smoke and a horrible orange glow were coming from the direction of our beloved Fir Park. I was told that the fire service were already on route though and it appears the fire was put out quickly. It was at the gap at the end of the Main stand between that and the South Stand (you know the bit that the club wasn't allowed to extend the Main Stand into due to the homeowners lack of permission). To be honest I am not sure from here if it was definitely the part of the ground or a back garden of one of the houses, but it looked pretty far back. Anyway it appears that no serious harm came but just in case you get offered some rather charred Fir Park souvenirs then you will know why!!

'Well Worth Saving are organising a Quiz Night in the Davie Cooper Suite on Thursday, June 6.  More details will be available soon.

Don't forget about this upcoming event at Fir Park (apologies for the poor quality of the image)...
