Good point on simo. If we were two games from winning the league or cup, and our manager publicly applied for another job, this place would meltdown. At least McGhee waited until the end of the season.

Bold move by the sun considering they pronounced MVG as manager last time http://thesun.uk/6012B3EPG I'm now convinced it isn't going to be muttley.

I'll base my opinion on the manager on who just scored, every time that happens.

Usually the insider hints are stronger at this stage, so I'm not convinced it's McGhee either. Think Kenny Shiels has been leaking Mcghee's name to make himself seem like a better option when he gets it.

I'm sure it is better for him if there is a release to the press that he turned the job down, rather than that he was told he was unsuccessful. Guess it depends on who we go with. If it's some nobody then we can agree that craigan was our only choice, but if it is someone like McGhee I don't think we told him that we'd offer him the job if craigan said no.

It won't be craigan according to the sun http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/motherwell/6688512/You-can-rule-me-out-Les.html?CMP=spklr-_-Editorial-_-TWITTER-_-scotsunsport-_-20151012-_-SunScotSport-_-253054333-_-Imageandlink

Then he takes off his mask and he's Ian baraclough, it was him all along, because that's the only level of comeback we haven't done yet.

We're better at comebacks than WWE. Hopefully we unveil him at half time on Saturday after he chibs a Celtic player while wearing a mask.

I have, don't know about the other guy.

Just throw Gannon in as a scout and Tommy as director of football.

Did he say next week as in next week, or next week as in this week because he said it yesterday? If it's next week I can take a week off Twitter.

Which is why it will be McNamara

Don't have a tenner left, I have bet my mortgage on the new manager being valakari and dickov.

If he's a great tactician, did he not pass this info onto the manager or players, because by all accounts tactics haven't been our strong point. Did someone not mention that bara struggled at Sligo once he made his own signings?

Might get a game at the euros...

Paul Daniels now 4/6 on betfair.

Going on how much the odds shift after rumors are posted here, maybe this is a clever ploy to fool the bookies into lengthening the odds for the real appointment.

Must have been told he wasn't in the running. It was the same with butcher last year.

He applied for the job, so we're not "stealing" him. He at least views us as a bigger club (and our 130 years of history, exposure to European football, and other facts back this up) or else he wouldn't have applied. He will also see Motherwell or derby as good opportunities to get exposure in the UK. Whether Motherwell wants him or not remains to be seen, but if we do, it will happen.

Other than saying when they hoped to make the appointment, the club has (rightly) said absolutely nothing. This is the agent getting simo's name out there now that the Finnish season is close to done.

Who were the runners in the press before McLean and mcleish got the job? If I remember right, Sandy Clark was the rumor when kampmann got it, Ian McCall and Colin lee were touted before black got it. Can't remember the suspects when McGhee was appointed either.

When you do can you give us clues like in the old days when we'd have a two week treasure hunt to find out who our new sponsor was? I'll say it's McGhee and Latapy

I think vata is responsible for 100% of the story so far, because we know how the club works. If we really are after valakari, we will do what every other club does and speak to him unofficially and only approach the club if we decide to appoint him. I'm still of the opinion that new guy will be a name we haven't mentioned, or Russell Latapy because I said it first.

I think the club will be quite happy to let the papers and the like keep themselves occupied with the valakari chat while they conduct their interviews through the week. If I'm not mistaken, there still hasn't been a word from the club as to who we are targeting, and I doubt there will be.

Are you saying Wikipedia is wrong? So essentially, no one knows anything!
