Tommy McLean did a fantastic job at Fir Park. He was very much "of his time" and had to build his team over a period of several seasons as was the norm in those days. He built from the back and made us hard to beat and competitive which were the foundations of our success. I would contend that we improved as a team nearly every season and that has to be seen as a marked success for a club of our size. The fact that he didn't go on to bigger and better things after he left Fir Park can perhaps be put down to a number of factors. Times were changing and he was unwilling or unable to change his managerial style to accommodate these changes. He was also just a very "good fit" for Motherwell at that time. A true case of the right an being in the right place at the right time. I will always be grateful for his service to the club. As for now, one game at a time.

Ditto. How is tenerife?

I remember Craig Patersons career was finished because he asked for £50 a week more. I don’t think Tommy played him again. I always remember thinking he didn’t deserve that. ive no doubt there was penny pinching and tough budgets but he did manage to broker himself a good pay deal when he left us for hearts Anyway, he’ll still go down… even with me… as a real legend of the club.

I'm biased, I knew Tomtom really well from working there, he was under extremely tight budgets, FP had been neglected/homered/patched with sellotape for years and required massive investment and running repairs, pennies mattered, the contracts of the players he 'fell out' with were based on 'we are cup winners' Tommy's answer was 'so?' Would have been interesting to see what he would have done with Phil's transfer had he stayed.

No one has ever said 'well said' to me before 🙂

Consider it wound!

Does “we” mean “I” 😉 im not convinced he did move on from mistakes. We suffered years of negative performances and then we had a couple of really good seasons, mostly sparked by the genius of Cooper. He then tore apart a good cup winning team because he fell out with them and then buggered off to Hearts who he almost relegated. He also failed at Dundee Utd I just think our views of him are clouded because of the cup win. But….. that day is still one of the best of my life so I still love the pig headed wee guy.

We control our destiny to get second place by winning games and maintaining better GD than rangers. We play hearts twice but trail by 7 points so we do need Hearts to drop an additional point outside of us beating them twice, in order to win the league. as demonstrated by today any team is capable of dropping points so the thought of Motherwell winning the league may be described as us being in dreamland but it certainly not the impossible dream. COYW!!!

Are you well_said..........are you well_said........are you well_said in disguise....🤣🤣

You say negative, we say pragmatic, didn't suffer fools and moved on from his mistakes PDQ

Utd were in the cup final that year and a different proposition to this team no?

🔥

Becsuse it was the first one i saw that i felt the need to respond to, not because it was your comment, as i said before Slattery is more interesting than you, so wind your neck in.

Fortunately, most young folk don't give a flying fruitbat about history 🤣! I don't think Jens cares about previous PL seasons either and he reckons we can do this (if we get a fair shake from the officials, which I admit is a bit of a stretch: the likes of arrogant Beaton really get on my nazzums). Having seen the confidence and commitment on display at St Mirren, which I thought was a real banana skin of a fixture, I think the players BELIEVE too. Let's just enjoy the possibilities.......🙏🙏🙏

Your best joke ever 🤣

Not man of the match but a mention for Ward having a couple Of decent saves to keep the clean sheet.

No idea, but would be hilarious if we are paying him less than Ross County are paying Kettlewell.

You quoted me while talking about faux out rage. If you were just talking in general terms fair enough but why pick my comment?

Surely he won't be an out this season, but do we know how long JBA is under contract for? I'd like to think that he's ours for the foreseeable future and that we can demand a few million in compensation when the time comes.

.

Just to remind everyone, we are having an amazing season despite selling our star man for £4.5 million in summer. I wonder how Lennon would have been in this team, I genuinely think he would have thrived in it

Oscars are generally awarded for good acting performances, though.

I still remember Utd scoring in injury time and the announcer giving the other results at fulltime - "And in the other Premier games where they played the regulation 90 minutes"

Pled guilty then legged it before sentencing.

One of the locations where the abuse was found to have taken place was in Lanarkshire and the partner was blamed when he didn't perform well for Motherwell, so every chance that he was already toxic when he was sold.
