I think it’s fairly certain that no matter how much we could offer JBA any decent sized club can easily top any monetary offer from us. So pretty much it’s all Down to JBA and how much is he enjoying his work, how much does he want to stay and see how far he can take Motherwell and is he confident and patient enough to wait another year or so to move into a much higher paid position.
Hopefully MFC are already making a short list of options to replace JBA when he leaves. Is that our current assistant? I don’t know. Whoever it is has to continue the approach that JBA has established.
Definitely, if We win both games it piles the pressure on rangers and Celtic. They have a cup game as well as a league game to kick lumps out of each other.
its hard to see us winning all of our remaining games but likewise it’s also hard to see any of the top 6 teams winning all their games. This is why it is important to focus on one game at a time. You can only win one game at a time.
I didn’t mention Hearts but we need them to be dropping points. With respect to finishing above the arse cheeks we already have that within our own control.
We are due to have 3 away and 2 home post split, which works in with us playing Hearts and Celtic at Fir park with rangers, Falkirk and hibs away. So not sure that they can mess with us.
Obviously hoping we get all 3 points in our game but I’m also hoping that the arse cheeks kick lumps out of each other on the Sunday, resulting in perhaps some red cards and maybe a few injuries to weaken them over the next few games.
I’m assuming post split is
home: Celtic and Hearts
away: rangers hibs falkirk
Ideal outcome, last game of the season versus Hearts at Fir park. Winner takes the title
Based on my Facebook feed looks like the media(?) ramping up JBA for Celtic next season.
Living here, in the land of conspiracy theories, I’m immediately thinking this is a ploy to unsettle our players for the run in to the league championship. 😡
It’s shame Slats done that cause he had a great game and was staying on his feet even when being fouled. Personally I think it’s not a big deal. He made a bad decision, there was a chat with Jens, you’re not very likely to ever see it again. Next question.
We control our destiny to get second place by winning games and maintaining better GD than rangers. We play hearts twice but trail by 7 points so we do need Hearts to drop an additional point outside of us beating them twice, in order to win the league.
as demonstrated by today any team is capable of dropping points so the thought of Motherwell winning the league may be described as us being in dreamland but it certainly not the impossible dream. COYW!!!
