To be honest, how can anyone one here expect it to get better. Regardless of who the manager is the playing squad just don't cut it at the required level.
We can't even out bid an English Blue Square League team for a player. The future looking bleak, not just for Motherwell mind you. Scottish football is crap and then some.
Better get used to lean times and just surviving in the Premier League for the foreseeable future.
And if guys don't want to watch that, who can blame them
Lots of other things in this day and age to spend £20 on.
