It's not quite a clean slate but with some players moving on already and a good fee for miller almost certainly incoming then there should be enough scope for the new manager to make the changes that's required.no harm to any of the guys that are out of contract that might yet stay but I hope none of them do.

I would very much doubt that. If the club have been happy where we are training and have been for the last few years I don't see them changing that.

Stuparevic has a Ionger term injury but if the other two are recovering don't see why they shouldn't play a part next season.

Aye he's back at carlisle and won't be returning as he's very much in there managers plans for the coming season.

I think we need to write off Nicholson, Robinson and Stuparevic from the squad. They are unlikely to contribute anything this season. Miller will obviously also be gone at some point. That leaves us Oxborough, Ward SOD, Koutroumbis, McGinn, Balmer, Wilson, McGhee Sparrow, Halliday, Slattery, Fadinger, Wells, Ross Stama, Maswanhise Of those out of contract, I think the only one Id try to keep is Seddon and at a push Paton. Thats a squad of 18 at present, which I would say leaves us room for at least 4 signings to improve the quality available for the starting 11 and resign some of the existing squad to places on the bench. If Sylla is one of those, I think we need a centre half, attacking midfielder, and a striker (2 would be nice).

Armstrong is back at Carlisle as far as I'm aware.

Now that we know the manager I suppose the focus will be on the ins and outs. I’d say first task is we need to strengthen the middle of the defence. A good quality midfielder with some pace. A good old fashioned centre Forward. Maybe Armstrong would work under a different manager and more attacking style of play? speedy winger. I think we have some decent players in our squad and adding just a small number of players with the right qualities in the right positions could vastly improve our performances and results. I know we already signed McGhee and Fadinger so in addition to them ……. minimum: 4 players strong centre back midfielder with pace strong imposing centre forward speedy winger maximum: 4 mentioned above + 2 others Moving some of our existing squad would make it easier to bring in new faces but it has to be quality over quantity. I think we already have quantity so we need to change that to having quality.

Yeah I got that

That was a St Mirren fan at the wind up. Not the first of the day, and I doubt it'll be the last.

I suspect that a lot of the money will go on a new training facility as previous managers have said that what we use at the moment is inadequate and has made it difficult for us to sign some players

I shared this elsewhere, it's a year old, but a decent insight into the guy

Someone on pie and bov just said if our new manager does well he could make the step up to St Mirren in a couple of years (saying nothing)

Yer in luck as I can't figure it out so nae grizzlyg puns.....for now anyway

I’m assuming that Miller will be off soon, so I’m looking forward to us getting a nice hefty sum up front and the chance of some future add ons. I’m hoping we don’t squander any money on transfers but rather use it to be a bit more competitive on the salary front and enable us to better compete for some higher quality players. To be honest if we can replace Miller with two or three better quality players than we currently have in our squad we won’t miss him that much. With the team and tactics we’ve had the last few years we have not got the best out of him. We basically restricted his ability to play to his full potential by the way we played and the “support” we provided around him. So my comment about not missing him that much is a reflection on Motherwell FC and not on Miller. His talent and ability is there for everyone to to see but we were just never able to take full advantage of it.

Obviously hoping the new boss does well and that he brings back some entertaining football to Fir Park. His immediate task is to get the kind of players he needs in order to support his preferred system and for it to have any chance of success. Should be interesting (and hopefully exciting) to see what new players he brings in and what he can get out of our existing players.

Scooby doo will do for me, all depends how successful he is though, Its been a while since hes been seen on Corrie.

Just got it. I wont spoil the fun! 😆😆😆
