I've mentioned to a few folk this weekend that I've had a feeling in my water that he would be in the running.

If Nijholt fancies it, I imagine he'd be looking to team up with the likes of McCart or Boyd.

This thread is doing an excellent PR job for Nijholt. Think I've been swayed.

Sounds like Willie Miller is trying to back Motherwell into a corner. Miller is an arrogant arse like the majority of the Sheep. McGhee should fit in well up there.

22nd of June springs to mind. Whoever comes in it isn't going to be easy trying to organise pre-season, assess the squad, approach new players and negotiate competitive European football.

If a new appointment isn't made in the next few days then I'd play the Under 19s in the European tie.

Nail hit on the head. Superb post.

Leitch has no sentimental ies with us. He was ready to head to Tynecastle last summer. If we are going to go with someone inexperienced, then McCart gets my vote over Leitch.

Neil Lennon?

From what I've read, Gannon would be an excellent candidate.

I'm quite looking forward to us having a rivalry with Aberdeen. Certainly a fixture to look out for.

I think Chris McCart is likely to feature in the thoughts of John Boyle. Hibs were getting linked with some boy from Stockport. Having had a brief look at his credentials the other day, he could be a decent shout.

Spot on mate. If he ends up with Hughes and maybe Buzz they Motherwell have been taken for a ride. Boyle must ensure that the likes of Clarky and Quinn go nowhere near Pittodrie.

Just on P&B so hopefully we can take it with a pinch of salt but there is a mention of Brian McLean being pursued by St Mirren.

So his eye was on the ball last season when he was set to get on a plane to meet Romanov? Don't thinkso. Agree to disagree on this one.

I hope we continue to appoint ambitious managers but hopefully this time it will be someone who keeps his eye on the job all the time and talks about his future prospects in a dignified manner.

I'd expect Boyle to have began drawing up a shortlist a few weeks back.

Fuck off. I dislike McGhee and I'm entitled to be pleased that he is on his way.

He done fantastic in his first season and done a solid job last season but it is our interests for him to move on.

I just want his departure confirmed so I can open a can in celebration. The only possible dampner is that he doesn't take Leitch with him.

Looks like Celtic have got their man: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...tic/8086779.stm Hard luck Marky boy.

I've not seen Peter Sweeney since the likes of Cahill played with Millwall but he looked a very decent player back then.

Congrats to Clarky. I take it he didn't have much faith in us getting to the Scottish Cup Final though!?

Another point to arise from my discussion with my Hibs mate. There new tops are £35 from the shop and there is a further fiver off for Season Ticket Holders. Not slamming Motherwell in the slightest but Hibs seem to offer a fine deal.

Discussion about sponsors seems to have escalated somewhat. Anyway my Hibs mate says that he isn't too sure if its due to the fact they have a bevvy company sponsoring them but the logo free shirts have certainly been an option throughout their sponsorship. Hibs have changed to a property company this year so it will be interesting to see if the same option will be available. I guess not. On the debate around gambling/booze. The same guidelines should apply in my opinion.
