Guest 'Flow Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Club Statement Motherwell Football Club today (Wednesday) released the following statement in relation to speculation surrounding Craig Brown and Archie Knox. Commenting, Chief Executive Leeann Dempster said, “Given the fantastic on-field success in 2010, it is not surprising that other clubs are taking an interest in our management team. With that in mind, we can confirm that representatives from Aberdeen Football Club met briefly with both Craig Brown and Archie Knox yesterday afternoon. However, both have decided to reject any approach and reiterated their commitment to Motherwell Football Club. We look forward to continued success under both men in the future.” http://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/index.php?op...&Itemid=133 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmmfc Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Should serve as a warning to Motherwell to get them onto some sort of contract rather than losing them for nothing in the future. If they were willing to even meet with Aberdeen, there is obviously a part of them willing to consider alternative employment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelEdge Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 I didn't think they'd go, but excellent news nonetheless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were willing to even meet with Aberdeen, there is obviously a part of them willing to consider alternative employment. I don't know, I mean I take your point but I think that meeting with Aberdeen's representatives would have been more a show of common courtesy rather than any sort of serious discussion. I didn't think there was any chance of them leaving but good to get the confirmation and well done on the club for getting a statement out so quickly.

East Stand Screamer Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Phew! Couple of things come to mind... 1) I thought Jack and Victor were doing us a favour and kind of got stuck... I'd be surprised if they were out to create a new career like that and go round a club or two 2) Who do Aberdeen really think they are? Twice they've circled out management team now. Why the hell would anyone want to go up there rather than stay with us? Their history is just that. History. We're a better team. 3) Thank fuck!

johnstone Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Aberdeen are in a total mess. They would be best just to give the job to Paul Hartley and ride it out until the end of the season. They have a few decent young players but they are all injured - the rest are ganting. Brown and Knox are not stupid and will have seen they are beyond rescue. Their only hope is that the Accies remain totally shite for the rest of the season and they can pip them in a relegation battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
something else Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Fuck off Aberdeen! Stop living in the past, stop lookin to steal other (better) teams managers like the OF do. Yer a diddy club, get used to it. Dicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllyMax Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Fuck off Aberdeen! Stop living in the past, stop lookin to steal other (better) teams managers like the OF do. Yer a diddy club, get used to it. Dicks. WHS ^ 10 The sheep are in debt, can't afford players, have declining support not much bigger than ours and are in a dangerous position in the SPL and they STILL think they're a big club because of something that happened under a particular manager years ago. How many managers have they had since Fergie ? They have slowly gone down hill ever since and it's not to do with managers. They are just declining with the rest of Scottish football and they haven't worked it out yet. Fuck them. Fuck them all, right in the ear. c***s !! PS - Well done Craig and Archie. you did the right thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numpty Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Should serve as a warning to Motherwell to get them onto some sort of contract rather than losing them for nothing in the future. The impression I got at the time was that if we'd insisted on a contract, they wouldn't still be here anyway. Can't see that changing now.

The_Craig Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Excellent News. In the modern climate where assistant coaches can get fired at half time, it's nice to see that our management team has some loyality to the club. Glad to hear CB and AK are staying. And GIRFUY, mutton molesting bastards!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fi2810 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Well done and thanks to Craig and Archie. They already had my respect, but more so now for showing loyalty and respect to Motherwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprawell Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Hello, Am I missing the point? Why the hell didn't they just pick up the phone to Windy Miller and say, sorry we are happy at Motherwell, now on your way. Disappointed that they even gave that clown the time of day. Glad they are staying though that's the main thing. GIRUYYSSB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 got to respect CB and AK, Aberdeen make an approach, they don't ignore it and arrange brief talks and polity tell Aberdeen it's a none starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Never worried about Brown going to Aberdeen, I suppose there was an outside chance Archie Knox might have wanted to be top man again and he has old links with Aberdeen but looks like Aberdeen approached them both as a team, not either one individually. However Brown won't go on for ever. Will he stay at the end of the season? Have one more after that? He has done a great job but I don't see him hanging around for an indefinite length of time. He'll step down when he thinks he's taken us as far as he can and probably Top 4 or 5 and Europe is pretty much all he can do with the resources baring a cup win.

CoF Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Hello, Am I missing the point? Why the hell didn't they just pick up the phone to Windy Miller and say, sorry we are happy at Motherwell, now on your way. Disappointed that they even gave that clown the time of day. The interview on the BBC link above should clear that up. Bigger pool of players and bigger budget made the job worth considering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leroy Trusco Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Very good interview from CB. Made it clear how the shit went down with Wiggy and Tashy. Liked the " They have a bigger squad but the league table indicates it's not a better squad". Roon ye Mutley!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
