Well Well

It will be announced when the usual fanfare is in place. When we can get it widely publicised etc...wish we had a media officer would go a hell of a lot quicker with one..

I am outraged at the suggestion that I get outraged at the slightest excuse.. ...........

Excellent news.

The thought of Butcher as manager is complete and utter madness. How anyone on here thinks it will be a good appointment is completely beyond me. Plenty of claret and amber tinted specs and golden memories ruling heads here. I hope the board continue the tradition of appointing someone no one is expecting and is not an ex-Motherwell player/coach, manager. We need a manager who will change things around here not an old pals act. This idea that they have to have some connection in some way to Motherwell is ridiculous. Motherwell minded is a disaster. No nonsense manager who can steady the ship short term but with a medium to long term plan is required.

Comedy gold Milo...nice one... The players wouldn't know what an important game is if it came up and hit them squarely in the face. A lot of professional players I thought were Well legends have shown me not to hero worship. They turned out to be a huge disappointment when the chips were down and when we actually needed those dyed in the wool veterans to get us through this they are all hiding away in plain view.

Bit late they could have done with it on the park

Budget for finishing 10th every season and first round exit of cups. Simple. Anything above that is a bonus. If that means losing some high earners, well am all for that. Even if we totter around in the championship for a few years before coming back up, better that than no club at all.

Ahh think that was due to 'Skippy Sunday' they have never got over that

exactly, maybe I went on too long but my sentiments as well

Thats what Boyle promised he would do. I wonder what is going on with Boyle that he needs this sorted as quickly, deadlines are set and he is getting out no matter what. I know his shares have been up for offer for some considerable time but it is the first time there has been such a deadline. Also if the WS do get the soft loan/ funding etc then where does that leave funding going forward. If all the cash is tied up in buying the shares and keeping us afloat then we are basically treading water. I know we can once again cut out cloth accordingly but if we do anymore we will be a part time club. If we do turn part time (it has been hinted at in the past) I don't see us going any other way other than a quick exit of the Premiership and down the leagues. If John Boyle sells out to the 'other' bidder then I also have grave fears for the identity of the club. It may be lost forever if we become a feeder club for South american players. If you lose the soul of the club then what is the point of continuing to support it. I have no answers, I am just thinking out aloud, wondering the best way forward if there is one. The only thing I can see is that no matter what happens there will be even less cash to keep the team going under the WS and no team at all as we know it under the other option if rumours are to be believed. This is truly a watershed moment for the club

Have they..?? news to me I thought he had distanced himself from the job at least publicly. Haven't heard any new approach from either side since other than some fantasists on here. Also this Nobbie Solano group, I know Boyle wants rid of his shares but I know that he is very keen in getting the right person(s) to take over the club or he would have already sold it to the one dodgy guy a few years back during the Malpas era. I can't see this ever happening, no one in their right mind would sell the club, not even Boyle to a Craig Whyte type character again in Scotland.

somewhere to bury all the bodies from deals gone wrong..?

I agree my reference was to the guys looking for Faddy, Scott Leitch etc

Sorry but the folk on here looking for ex-Well player combinations as manager(s) need to get out of fantasy land, that is the quickest route to relegation and financial disaster. A proven, roll up the sleeves, no nonsense manager is what's needed right now. Get a grip of that dressing room. There are experienced professionals who need sorted out. IF they can provide a performance like the last game then where the hell were they all season. Funny how when players are under pressure and they don't want to lose their comfortable contracts under a new manager they then up their game. These players are supposed professionals. Time to get the right man in and lay down the law.If they can roll up the sleeves like they done against united they should be ashamed of themselves that they couldn't so it under McCall. First time I have felt such animosity towards our players.They always seemed to have a decent work ethic but the last wee while they have in my mind been very poor in effort and professionalism

Take out Vigurs name replace it with any Motherwell player and you realise they are almost all the same...

If United score early this could be a hammering as the morale will plummet and the usual suspects will hide in plain view. On the other hand it will be interesting to see how Black formation differs from McCall's. Will it be an attacking formation or full of defenders..?

I would rather have Nigel Farage than Derek Adams.

We have centre halves.. Who knew...

Unfortunately with the turmoil behind the scenes with finances and potential new owners whether that's the WS or someone else there will be no change of structure or management until the new owners come in. McCall will never walk you can see that in his interviews, he just thinks we are going through a rough patch, he doesn't see his management as an issue. Mind you I don't think i have heard any reporters actually asking him any hard questions despite this terrible run. Short term nothing is going to happen until at least January imo, by that time we will be adrift at the bottom.

Maybe its just the way I am reading between the lines, but, from that email it appears that there is the possibility of someone else buying the club or another consortium. It also does not look like it is a welcome takeover by the way the email is written.

This has been my thinking for a while now. I also think his backroom staff especially Kenny Black should have these guys fighting fit and working their asses off. However I don't think Black is that type of coach and doesn't crack the whip when it is needed. Having watched a few training sessions they don't appear stressed physically at all when they finish. Not saying they should be crawling out but they should look as if they have been put through the mill. Maybe I am just not up with modern training techniques and they don't put as much emphasis on physical conditioning anymore.

almost scripted

Great idea..!! Flexi ticket has a lot of appeal http://www.motherwel...k-flexi-ticket/
