All sounds great, but as a Manager he didn't really appear to make significant headway with Telstar, leaving them in more or less the same position as when he took them over. Not knowing the team or the Dutch Second Division that may have been an achievement in itself. However, you don’t have to look outside Scotland to find a Manager with mid-table second tier experience. What exactly was the work achieved with AZ Alkmaar? Or what is his proven track record as an assistant coach? And was he actually headhunted? Or are these just glorified statements? What is that we can 100% attribute to Nijholts talents in any of his previous coaching/managerial positions that would qualify him as being a successful Motherwell manager. All I see for now is a Well Legend who has been overlooked for several managerial jobs in the past few years. (Why is that?) Maybe he is just a bloody good coach, or maybe not even that, and bearing in mind even being a good coach doesn’t make a good manager. If Nijholt is to be a future manager of Motherwell, I really hope to be proved wrong, but for now, I would rather have someone with some sort of track record in management behind him. For all the criticism of McGhee, his experience has shown compared to the likes of Malpas, Davies and McLeish when they managed Motherwell.

I'd have Albania much lower down that list and no way is Montenegro a third world hole. Someone mentioned the weather, although we should beat any of these teams comfortably, a game in Eastern Europe in July would be a serious challenge. Just mind Celtic a few years ago. Better hope for Wales or NI

Don't quite get this, great player no doubt. However, how did he do well at Telstar? Did he not take them from Mid-table Dutch Second Division to nearer the bottom before parting company? And is he not one of two assistant coaches at RBS? Not massively inspiring.

I'm clutching at straws, by the looks of things we would have to be unseeded to get a draw out this neck of the woods and looking at the teams, I think we would be seeded, so I don't see it happening for me this round. But we'll wait and see, a lot of ifs and buts to go first (we may not even get the spot). Had to change my name from Ujpest as Celtic are trying to sign one of their defenders and are looking at setting up a feeder agreement with them. McCart's been out a few times over the past while. Anyway, I think we met your father and his mates as well, all the best to them. Cheers

You Did, on several occasions from the Tuesday onwards. and the dug wants another Euro trip! If all pans out good, jaunts to Ireland and Wales are gonna be a disaster for us. A nice "Home" tie in Hungary would suit us fine.

being selfish: Hungary, Bosnia, Croatia, Slovakia or Slovenia
