I didn't think there was any more mileage in this one...you've come good again

Do you not mind browns " no comment " interview after the players ousted john Collins...that was cringe as...don't think his answers would be very entertaining if we are using that as one of the yardstick. Pity john Collins isn't interested in management game any more, he had hibs going great until players didn't fancy the graft.....allegedly

Oooooh the point totally missed but hey ho sarcastic attempts at humour are obviously not for everyone, including me as well it seems🤦‍♂️

Jose Mourinho has been spotted at upper crust........... In all seriousness see who we get if we get a foreigner who's gonna come in and try play football I'd be happy. No more of kettleball or the likes.

Must be a contender cos......everybody's talkin about him 🤪

Definitely, speedy recovery

Adams goal celebrations made Chris Long look like Mr happy 🤪🤪

If you want to go requesting information about pre-teen & teenage boys, then be my guest. Not my scene at all.

Is he Danish or swedish🤣

Partick's Baraclough in hospital after accident Wishing him all the best

Did you do a thorough check back to his primary school days, he's bound to have had more than one minor injury.

You'd probably have to give mom to Adams for scoring a hat trick but Lennon Miller was every bit as good as anyone else in the team.....and totally outshone Lewis Ferguson.

Let's be totally frank about this. He left for a better job/pay/budget.

Okay, fair enough. My point remains that it would be negligent for the Board not to consider the risks of appointing someone in similar circumstances to Wimmer. Whether the potential benefits of such an appointment outweigh the known risks - or whether someone closer to home offers more overall value than another Wimmer - is ultimately for the Board to decide. But if it goes wrong again, the shit will be on their hands.

Pah, Nilsson Schmilsson.

Not at all. My point is that we need to move with the times. Look at the other leagues in Europe. They see foreign coaches all the time, it's commonplace. But in Scotland, we still look at a foreign coach as something exotic and risky, when in truth, it's not any more risky than appointing someone like Pressley or Neilson. I was more questioning your logic behind the notion that a less-than-stellar experience with Wimmer would represent a need to return to the status quo. I don't agree with that at all.

We shouldn't abandon our process because of one unfortunate issue. We aren't the first club to hire a manager from another country in our division, never mind the prevalence of foreign managers across all the leagues in Europe. I don't know how many of those left after 12 weeks because of a family issue, so it's not fair to assume that any manager from outside of the central belt is a flight risk for that reason. There's nothing to say thar out process won't lead us to a Scottish manager, but I don't think we should tear things up off the back of one incident.

If you want to keep misrepresenting my point, that’s your choice. But anyone reading what I actually said will see it for what it is. To clarify once more: my view is that the Board might see appointing someone who currently lives in the south of England - or anywhere far away - as a risk. That concern has nothing to do with ethnicity or country of birth. My reference to Wimmer as an unfamiliar foreigner was specifically in the context of him also not living in Scotland. And that’s exactly what he was to me. He was someone unfamiliar who lives far away in Germany. For what it’s worth, I’d be happy with another unfamiliar foreigner, a Scotsman, or anyone else. My only preference is that they live relatively nearby. We don’t want a repeat of Wimmer. It’s obvious that you’re trying to misrepresent my original post above as xenophobic, and I’m not having it.

Think it was a hip injury that kept him out for a few months. He also had a fractured cheek bone and eye socket in 2023 but that was obviously a freak accident.

Don't think Millers performance for Scotland will have done his price tag any harm. Shall we start the game of "much we gettin?" bingo before the 'undisclosed fee' is inevitably announced. I will start the bidding at £5 mill plus addons.

It was apparently his 11 year old son who was struggling with him being away. Which is fair enough. But the family illness issue has been posted publicly. Can't recall if it was in the official statement but it was out there on the Internet Edited to say the official statement just said major family issues - but it was posted somewhere, maybe pie and bov that a family member was unwell

This is what I heard also, although not in any official capacity. And as you say, that is a private matter. What I am confident of is that it wasn't a case of him arriving at Motherwell and deciding he missed his family. He knew exactly what would be required, in the short-term at least, when it came to that side of things.

It was written elsewhere...whether accurate or not...that Wimmer returned to Germany due to a serious illness in his family. There were more details given but it is a private matter so I am not going to expand further. Regards where an employee lives, there are numerous examples of Clubs insisting that players and Staff live within a reasonable distance of the home ground. What is 'reasonable' can likely be negotiated. It might restrict who would be interested in the job but having been bitten once, perhaps we should consider that stipulation. Even if it does add to the cost to the Club by way of resettlement expenses.

What do you think was more to it? I don't disagree with you - because I think it was all a bit off - him coming here and then leaving so suddenly - but he's said that and so have the club. Think the fans have a right to know

I suspect Ive been wooshed here, but here goes...... Obviously I will give him a chance, as I would with any new manager. Just some are more exciting than others. Doesnt necessarily mean they wont be any good. Neilson knows the league and has experience at our level. Would probably keep us up. But his pressers would be boring as feck and his team would in all liklihood end up the same. Brown may not be everyones cup of tea but he is a winner and wouldnt just give the usual stock answers to questions Could be a bumpier ride with him but it would undoubtedly be more fun. Still hope we go for Wimmer MK2 though. The thought process was correct even if it didnt work out as planned.
