El Grew Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 This may or may not be a hypothetical question, but In the event that we do end up being relegated, will Wimmer stay or does he have an exit clause in his contract to cover for such an eventuality.

weeyin Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Unless Wimmer chooses to share his contract details with the media, that will be confidential. However, as anyone can resign at any time, he wouldn't really need an exit clause - it would just be a matter of negotiating the details for leaving. Ditto for sacking him.

MJC Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 If we are relegated he will go, I’m pretty certain of that. It may well be on his own terms or a mutual agreement but he’ll be gone at the end of the season if we are no longer in the top flight imo. I actually suspect that he might go in the summer regardless of what league we are in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I actually think this as well. I’m not sure why I just don’t see him as a long term Motherwell manager. I hope I’m wrong and I hope we win on Saturday and stay in the top 6 and he stays but just something is niggling away thinking he won’t be. The fact his family aren’t coming over worries me, family is the main thing for people and if things don’t go well they are the first people to help you out. I know Alexander’s family and Mcghees were both down south but that was just a few hours in the car or an hours flight, the ar5e end of Germany is a big trickier to make a quick trip to see his young kids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yassin Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 I don't think we'll go down but if we do get relegated from here it's hard not to see it as a pretty massive failure on his part, I'm not sure there'd be much justification for keeping him on at that point.

grizzlyg Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Why on earth we even discussing this? Jeez guy only been in door 2 months and inherited a huge mess left by that previous person. 7 games left and come 5.00 Saturday might even be in top 6. See if we are 11th with say 2 games left then I will worry. Positive vibes folks 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The position we're in is not Wimmers fault but it is his problem to solve. He came in after the window and needs time, possibly years to sort out the mess. Irrespective of how we finish the season , the time for judgment is much longer in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Aye, I’ve said several times that it’ll take him at least 18 months to sort out the mess he’s inherited. But that’s only if he’s got it in him to do so.

There would have been a lot of discussions before he took over so I am quite sure he knows this will be a long term project.

wunderwell Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 I think it depends a lot on the background of the way we run our club. I am so intrigued on how players are signed and how much say Wimmer has or even Kettlewell had on this. If we continue in the same vein and sign crocks from Ross County (who wimmer will be unaware of) I am fairly sure that the pain will continue. Could we see some input from the manager from abroad? I always liked the Hearts under Romanov raiding the Slovak and Lithuanian leagues (not highly paid) and promoting our youths. I am done with journeymen from Scotland & guys who can't get a game for lower league English sides. McGhee is a first team player at Dundee and I am ok with this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistandshout1983 Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Maybe others are picking up on something that I have not , I haven't had any vibes Michael Wimmer is here just for a short term but who knows It could turn out to be the case of course, but it hasn't crossed my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfc Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 This season has been a shit show from poor recruitment to a raft of injuries to then more poor short term signings to cover those injuries to then changing manager,it's a miracle were not in a worse position in the league,hopefully a bit of positivity around fir park on Saturday can help to get a big 3 points.on wimmer,he has been left with a shambles to sort through and it's hardly been a surprise that's it's been up and down since he came in,he will be learning all the time and is very close to being able to clear the decks and start to put a squad together that will be in line with his thinking.im happy that we took a chance on him too see what he can do rather than any of the usual hangers on that blight scottish football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
