I'm sure they knew. Jens staying for another season was always likely to be our best chance of holding onto a few of our most saleable assets this summer, and when footballers get to thinking they'd like to take up attractive offers, contracts won't stop them.

Bonjour, Monsieur Just. Bienvenue à Toulouse.

The ones under contract can think what they like. I"d also be amazed if they didn't expect Jens to leave.

Over at P&B the word is Max and Jens are now an item.

That'll be Welsh sorted for an escape to the sun. Question is, how many of our guys decide it was good while it lasted, and follow Jens out the door?

Unless Jens takes him

My Moneys on Max getting it.

What have you got against the English and the Irish.

Gutted but this will sound daft I am relieved in a way as he isn't sellik bound. I am sure club have replacement lined up and no doubt overseas

You missed out the rottweilers roaming about amongst them.

Sounded like he was staying, then going, then staying.... His body language at the final whistle suggested it was goodbye.

Looking back at the video of his speech in the dressing room after the Hibs game, i sort of sensed he was saying goodbye himself..or does that sound daft

Tweet been posted by a Belgian 'transfer specialist' (207K followers) saying a deal's been agreed between the clubs, JBA finalising details with Toulouse. Edit: just saw this was posted on Ins & Outs.

Certainly makes sense.

I had heard it was a done deal when the news of the Toulouse interest was broken but Motherwell wanted to publicly deny it so as not to derail the last game of the season

I suspect the Board and the Manager knew aobut the interst much sooner, but kept it quiet. Deals like this can be quite complicated, so likely some behind the scenes negotiations have been taking place. I wasn't sure when he'd leave, but was always 100% sure it would not be for a Scottish club. I'm actually OK with it happening this quickly, as it will allow us to bring in the new man for a full summer of preparation. Much better than losing him in late July or early August.

If we were going to lose him it had to be early in the window losing him now is fine gives us time to sort out a replacement

Really hope Jens doesn't leave right now and has a crack at Europe If he does leave though Best Wishes to him . What a season to Remember

Wow..that was quick.. i feel gutted now.. All i can say if signed and sealed, is thanks Jens for the best football ive witnessed in all my years supporting the Well. All the best to you and your family and your new life in France.

Seems JBA away, really really disappointing. https://x.com/i/status/2057153444691976448

The club are currently only negotiating with Toulouse to allow them to speak to Jens. Always the chance he hears something that sets off alarm bells and decides its not for him. However, if and when he does leave, I 100% expect our next manager to be from outside Scotland. As others have said, lots of countries have numerous teams / managers / coaches that play the way we do now. Id also proffer that Jans would have some input into who might be a suitable replacement.

Was he always with JBA. I thought he was drafted in to be Assistant to him.

Im all for this. Its what they do at Parkhead for European games.... We built that stand to milk Celtic & Rangers for revenue. It would be crazy to throw the baby out with the bath water. However, we do need to do something, so the above seems a reasonable and manageable compromise. Would also allow the stewards to focus in the gates without worrying about anyone coming over the wall.

Keep them in the top tier only. And if anyone asks tell them exactly why. You can't invaded the park from up there. Someone needs to make a stand. It certainly won't be Scottish football authorities .

I hope we ask John McGlynn if he fancies it. Falkirk play some good football and I assume we'll be in a better place financially than them while having one of the best academies in the country. Outside him nobody in Scotland really interests me. Hibs fans seem to be desperate to get rid of David Gray I wouldn't mind him rocking up here if he gets mutualled and Simo is an option in but I expect we would look abroad again.
