Sounds like we could do worse than utilise his common sense and business knowledge on the board too Seems a better thread for this link

Incoming manager Ian Baraclough watched from the stands as the Staggies scored in the 93rd minute through Tony Dingwall to deny his new side victory. Dingwall had earlier given the visitors the lead before John Sutton and Henrik Ojamaa scored for Motherwell. Baraclough wants the current coaching staff to work with him but Black is unsure of his future, and he said: "We will probably have a chat over the next few days and see what develops. "Certainly the manager has indicated that he would like to work with the current coaching staff. "It's been quite a whirlwind over the last 24 hours. Things have happened very quickly and there has been a lot to take in. “New ownership, new management and the game today - there are a lot of things I need to think about. "I don't know Ian Baraclough but then I didn't really know Stuart (McCall) on a personal basis either and we did okay for four years. It's just different when you've been working with someone."

By the way , I heard on BBC sportsound just before KO that Barraclough had asked Kenny Black to stay on , assume as no.2 . Seems to be some confusion over this on here with suggestion of Craigan ? coming in Sorry posted on wrong thread

Dan had some great saves again, but when the opposition is putting us under pressure with corner after corner , that's when you need a goalie to come for cross balls. Ainsworth must be the laziest player to wear claret and amber since Paul Kinnaird. Hope the new boss can instil some worth ethic into his undoubted ability, then he will be an asset .

Looks like he will kick some arses. Welcome to Motherwell !!

Forgot the name of the news reporter who seems to know all things MFC. Nothing on his twitter ?

Gaag is 4/6 now

Aye maybe the board have had a wee quiet word with Tommy Craig

Any manager is a risk of course. We just hope the board come up with the right man for the job

Probably been mentioned but from BBC website , Flow says "We spoke to two people [on Friday] and both interviews were absolutely excellent, very encouraging. If nothing happened on Monday, we'd still feel confident we could have at least a decision between two so that's how good it was. '' (supposedly Butcher and Van der Gaag)

Two teams fighting for their lives. This has got a draw written all over it I think. Unless big Mitch is announced as the boss.....in which case it's 5-0 to the mighty

Happens in every walk of life, not just football

Betting suspended in Paddy Power just now

I suppose there's always stories like that when a manager is sacked, although it does seem he was disliked by players and fans alike. Certainly a bad day when the club captain comes out and spills the beans

I agree . Any idea who the 6th candidate is - Ian Murray, Johansen, Leitch ?

Looks like Maskaant is the more experienced coach, but I just can't get over how bad a player he was

Did someone say David Weir was one of the six or was it referring to Derek Weir of the board ?

In reply to Eddie .....Don't have a problem with it. He did the honourable thing to resign and the dust has now settled on him leaving. It's a clever move by Sky to give some insight into the Well team and gives McCall some exposure too

I've been really impressed with the job that Jonathon Jonhansen's done with the under 20s. He is young, ambitious , has worked under successful managers , knows the club and will not be afraid to develop and play the young guys. One of the five ?

Imagine Souness and Butcher double act . FFS would make Roy Keane look like mother Teresa

Missed today's game due to work, but was itching to go. Can't believe how low that home attdndance was today . Despite our poor run of form, would have thought a mouth-watering tie and reduced prices was enough to tempt people out . I guess many have been scunnered by events on and off the park.

Obviously highly thought of then. Pity we missed out on even interviewing him

What's wee Tommy been up to recently? Been keeping his hand in the game at any level or busying himself with golf etc?

Off topic, but I see Jack Leitch has been the subject of some pioneering surgery( some sort of internal brace )by Gordon MacKay at Ross Hall. ( he played reserve team football with Rangers at one time) Same consultant that fixed my cruciate and I'm sure Derek Lyle's left and right knee injury. He's in good hands that's for sure !
