Was just having a look at the latest update and, as it goes on, it's looking more and more likely we'll be unseeded. And there's some big name seeded teams in there - Copenhagen and Panathanaikos, with Ajax in the play-off final against Utrecht. Our old friends Katowice are currently poised to be in there too. I suppose the question is do we want to be unseeded and get a draw against the likes of Ajax, or sneak in to the seeds and end up in the likes of Azerbaijan or Kosovo (or Ireland again!)?

I’m also relaxed about it, as I saw it coming a while ago. I’ve said my piece on it above anyway, and now I’m just looking forward to the European games.

If he went then after 1 game would be valued at £25 million!! 🤣 I saw Cardiff linked so £2.5 million plus turnbull would be great piece of business

Yup i am relaxed to and also relieved as I feared him going to Sellik. He has made us such an attractive proposition and there a few sellable assets we can cash in on (well done to board placing min £3 million on Watt). As said before I expect another unknown and no doubt club already been doing the groundwork. Also fact Fadinger happily signed extension when he must have known Jens was going makes me think players are fine. Jens could repay the favour by giving us £10,000,000 for Just! 😁

If Watt goes to Celtic I shall mow the grass outside with my mouth!The personal abuse he got from the Celtic fans after being outspoken about that game was embarrassing so they can just behave with the AI generated bs.

Yeah have been pretty relaxed about it all it was always on the cards crap sure but it was always going to happen. This could possibly be the norm for us going forward but if whoever comes in steers to a fantastic season and leaves with making the club better then i am totally 100 percent down with this system.

As with Wimmer and Askou the next manager will be someone who we have never heard of, probably no experience of the Scottish game, and in general all the excellent qualities JBA had that gave us such a great season.

I'm relaxed about it too. The fact that the traditional "Who do we want next?" thread hasn't been rolled out yet suggests that most of us feel the same way and trust our new board.

Bob Dylan's still there though. Like MFC, he's changed his manager a few times with varying success.

They pay double what anyone outside our league pays. Dems da rools! 😜😜😜

I seem to be a lot more relaxed about JBA's departure than almost everyone else. Last season was thoroughly enjoyable and all credit to him for transforming us on the field. However when I looked at his CV last year, I noticed he had had 7 coaching/managerial jobs in 8 years; the longest lasting about 2 years and 4 months. On that basis, I never expected him to stay very long, and I doubt he'll stay long at Toulouse either, for whatever reason. Our board now has a proven long term system in place and I have faith in that.

Usual paper talk on a player Celtic and Rangers crap.Bidding war is good if we do decide to sell Watt. Good statement from chairman Kyrk stating clubs position on JBA if a big club came in for him and obvious we have been making plans behind the scenes. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/16291016/elliott-watt-asking-price-rangers-celtic-motherwell

Chin up mate

Seriously? Where the laughing emoji showing that you’re joking? “deconstructed and have to rebuild whole philosophy and set up” From the chairman’s statement today "It's no secret that we have got a strategy in place that we will continue to build upon our model, using the same principles, as we enter this new campaign. "Managers leaving a club can be a hard pill to swallow, and whilst we appreciate Jens for what he has done here in the last 11 months, we have been continually working on contingencies and learnings to ensure we do not rip up and start again but continue to build and grow. "There's lots to be excited about. "We have over 20 contracted first-team players, European football on the horizon and crowds are 40% up at Fir Park. "We will continue working hard behind the scenes and will update supporters in due course. This is the start of a journey, not the end."

The best I'm taking is that we have had an amazing season, and the man that helped us to achieve that has left the club and a great position that the Board has a clear intention to build on.

I'm utterly deflated too. I've learned not to get used to good times as well fan but getting tired of it now as even when we show slight improvement, we are deconstructed and have to rebuild whole philosophy and set up. Totally deflated. Will probably give site a miss for a while.

Jens going does feel a bit inevitable but nevertheless disappointing. We’ve lost good players before but I don’t think, in my time, I’ve genuinely felt as empty as today. Yes we’ll move on and absolutely we’re in a better place than we were this time last season. At this moment though it just feels, to me at least, as if it could have been more. Best wishes to him and I hope the players don’t feel as deflated as I do at the moment.

Welcome to the MFC roller coaster. I thought you'd have been used to it by now. Onwards and upwards.

Unless you know Taylor Swift and can convince her to give us some dosh, then best get used to it.

Bought one. Mwell FC is in my DNA so I will still go. Just fed up of constantly rebuilding when we look like remotely being successful.

So were you thinking of getting a season ticket or did you actually get one?

Digging the thread title. 👍 Groovy play on words. I am looking for every small comfort in life this evening.

Think the best thing we can take today ladies and gentlemen is that our boss is not downgrading to green bigots. We regroup and move on. Thanks for input. Now on to better things.

Good one.

Do some people not get sarcasm 😂
