I think that no matter the circumstances, our management team and any other asset of the club should ALWAYS be on contract. After the decent start to the season we had I would've had them both in and told them that the deal was, if they wanted a job, they sign on the dotted line.
This gentlemen's agreement malarky doesn't wash with me. Football is a business ffs. Motherwell have either been incredibly naive or incredibly stupid in this instance - and either way, we've all had our fingers burnt as a result.
Don't get me wrong, I'm pissed off at Broon and Knoxy too, but this should never have been allowed to happen.
