Well Well

Absolutely tragic news. Thoughts are with his family. Another talented young man taken far too soon.

I haven't been this happy since the wife told me she was leaving me..

A wee interview to help with the build up nerves... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ell/8140954.stm

Some cracking players on free transfers Moritz Volz is a stick out. Wish we could afford him

Sutton..?? Is that a new signing..?? haven't heard much of him in the last year, where's he been playing..??

Michael Rose guy looks not too bad, wicked free kick taker as well and chips in with goals as well. http://www.stockportcounty.com/page/Profil...9~22938,00.html

We have the PO Stand that is a fitting memorial. Leave the strip alone, need to give this a break guys and move on a bit. No disrespect to anyone especially the family but we need to move forward. I think we have pretty much covered most of the Uncle Phil tributes pretty well. Especially liked the commemorative tops worn by the players and the big fans flag.

Nobody else worth selling after those...think JB is trying to put together a transfer budget for the new guy to make the job a wee bit more attractive.

Back to school and sack that teacher...you're grammar and spelling is deplorable young man...!! (quick scan of reply for spelling/grammar prior to posting.. )

....and the Motherwell rollercoaster goes round once again...hands in the air...here we go.......

I see the SPL are in talks with ESPN for the TV coverage. Maybe JB and the prospective candidates are waiting on the result as this would obviously be a major influence for any new manager.

Reading some of those comments I would steer well clear of Staunton...looks like he would embarass the club at some point...just a matter of when and how embarrassing it will be...What teams has he managed..??..What experience in coaching...is JB just looking for people who have been out the job more than a year...I feel really uneasy now if this is the quality of manager we are going for... Edit - Just read his Wiki....am gonna throw maself in front of the Motherwell to Glasgow train if he gets the job..!!

Yeah same here...although that is exactly why he was brought back to be groomed for future manager at the club. Although I think we should all put this McGhee/Leitch thing to bed and concentrate on what the new management set up will be and IF we get any new players...lets not look at the past and look forward..

Reading that I hope to fuck he didn't listen to anything Malpas ever said to him about management...

Yes it was, if you could have been arsed to actually read a few posts on other threads...once again another pointless thread...admin can you do the necessary..

The whole East stand should turn their backs when he comes out...!!

...once again can one of the mods tidy up all these managers threads into one thread. Wish people would stop opening up pointless threads when there are more than enough about the managers position already started...

I must be the only one who actually thinks we won't bring anyone in at all. I think we will be held to ransom once again by Aberdeen when Muttley finally ends up there and comes back and puts in a £50k bid for Clarkson expecting us to bite the hands off them. I am really unsure about all this and really think we will have to see some players leave in swop deals as I don't think JB has ANY cash for new players at all and we will probably be lucky to find a manager willing to accept quite a low pay deal as JB will be cutting his cloth accordingly due to the sparse times we have been going through. I can't see anyone getting replaced at all apart from possible swop deals. I also don't think JB will pay for playeres wages from his personal account again. I see the club bringing on the youngsters, whether they are ready or not and banking on a 8-9 place finish next year. We banked on holding off on the pitch repairs for a season hoping the pitch would hold up and everyone knows what happened there. We are carrying out those repairs now as we know the league will not accept it again and would probably automatically relegate Motherwell at the end of the season if we didn't dig deep and replace the pitch and carry out repairs to the USH. I don't think we have learned any lessons there and would not be surprised to find the management crossing their fingers, not buy anyone this season and hope for the best. We have continually done this and I don't see it changing anytime soon...

JB should just walk out of the meetings...he holds all the aces...tell Milne to phone when he wants to talk serious money..If he is so desperate to bring the messiah back home then dig deep...

Easy...turn them into feeder clubs..!!

Certainly would invest a few million on lengthy TV advertising in as many formats as possible...SKY, Virgin, all the council TV stations just to get all the other clubs pig sick of seeing someone shout "C'Mon Ye Well" continually..

Maybe its just me but I would love the chance to own the club. Certainly set aside 100 million for myself but the rest would be spent over my lifetime and after me to support the well financially. Do a Fergus McCann. Build a new stadium preferably as close to Fir Park as possibly. 20,000 seater with at least 3 theme pubs in the ground for the fans to have a drink prior to the game. A hotel and conference centre. Buy up Dalziel training area and turn it into a state of the art training area. Free season tickets to loyal Well fans who have had a season ticket for more than 2 years. Free season tickets to last 10 years. New manager I would have to give that to someone like Moyes. Hard working, feet on the ground manager. Give him around 10 million a year for players. Heavily invest in youth players to feed the club with good young talent. Have ongoing lifetime learning for everyone involved in the club so that when they retire from football they have training and qualifications to get a new job if required. Thats just to start..

Ok you have £1billion left by a very rich family member and you wanna splash some cash on the Well. So you have agreed to buy the Well from MR Boyle who is last seen running out the door with a briefcase crammed with cash from the sale. Its the close season and Muttley has gone to Aberdeen...Whats your priorities.??..New Stadium maybe..IF so how big.??..New manager.??..Who.?.and how big a transfer budget would you give.??..Youngsters...Would you go round up all the best in the land.??..Fans....How would you treat the fans with your new found wealth...??

Will someone PLEASE merge all these Lennon/McCart/Leitch/etc... manager threads ma heids bursting... ...there's one popping up every minute now...!!

Hmmm...Being a Virgin customer aint too happy at that news (free setanta). Don't really care who shows SPL games as long as I get them for bugger all as part of my package. Don't think SKY would be interested in Scotland and if they did it will be a fraction of the Setanta deal (who cares the Old Filth always get the lions share of any deal anyway).
