All the very best to Paul I always thought he was a good player who gave 100% every time he played .

I think kmac was pretty much spot on with his assessment maybe a bit harsh on Fraser but spot on with O'Brien IMHO.

A year would have thought 2 years at least.

McGhee talked the talk but it looks like Jimbo walks the walk.

Be lookin to do more than open doors I think

Take it everyone knows smith has signed with Brighton. Thats another bit off dead wood offski.

So we have actually signed this guy Jennings then .

To be honest there are a few players that some fans think better than they are, McLean imho is is one of those .Why this frenzy to sign a player who is an accident waiting to happen.

Great appointment welcome to Motherwell football club guys.

Only a complete idiot would blame John Boyle .

So sad to see him go ,like someone else said it was so unreal to see him holding up the Bristol city jersey ,a great ambassador and role model for our club all the best Clarky.

Poor journalism to be honest no quotes and says nothing we don't already know, the thought about the hierarchy having doubts about Garry Mac is creative journalism at its best .

What about Jim Gannon is he completely out of the picture now or is he still in with a shout, his credentials were better than most mentioned. No to Calderwood!

And they work on a saturday.

I'm on strike tomorrow at Bathgate, this will be a summer of discontent in the Royal mail big trouble on the way brothers.

For once I'm not being sarcastic ,that is A crackin shirt Dave.

Dont worry guys we have the new strips . Woooopeeee.

According to Sky Sports McCalllister is ready to snub the job for a second time due to lack of funds so that one is out the window i'm afraid. We will have nothing to spend unless we sell first. If its true then its got to be Nijholt.

Gary Mac or Luc would do for me ,the other two Staunton and Sanchez would leave me wishing I hadn't bought a season ticket.

I would say its looking like Gary Mac is the front runner, with Luc just behind him for the job, but maybe someone like Gannon or Calderwood might just bag the job.

But McGhee said: "Stephen knows I would like to bring him to Aberdeen. Scott Leitch (McGhee's assistant) is meeting with Stephen in Glasgow this weekend where we will talk to him about it further. Apparently he has been offered a very attractive contract from Hearts so there is competition for people like Stephen Hughes." McGhee admits the Dons may struggle financially to offer Hughes as much as the other clubs who are chasing the signature of the former Rangers player. "I hope the fact I am here is a factor for Stephen," McGhee said. "But young players like Stephen Hughes, who have a young family, are entitled to try to provide for their family and therefore try to get the best deal possible. "Working with me again won't be at the top of his list of reasons for choosing a club but if there comes a point where we are neck and neck with someone else then hopefully because it is me that will sway it."

"I have always said that if the timing was right I would love to go back and manage Motherwell," he told the Scottish Daily Express. "I won a Scottish Cup there and had a great time and the club will always have a very special place in my heart. "I still look out for Well's results and have a lot of friends in Scotland so the manager's job would be a dream for me. "I have picked up a lot of experience in Holland and working with Co Adriaanse, who is a top coach, and I definitely want to go in to management again in my own right. "If that was at Motherwell it would be a dream come true for me, especially as the club are also in Europe next season."

Here is why Scott didn't take the job. But Leitch has his sights set on succeeding McGhee at Aberdeen and believes his only chance of doing so is by impressing in the supporting role. Leitch said: "They offered me the job at Motherwell and it was a really hard decision as I have spent many years there. "But when Mark said I had the opportunity to go to Aberdeen with him I decided that was what I wanted to do. "I probably would not get the opportunity to be Aberdeen manager unless I was here, working hard and showing them what I can do. "If I can make the club appreciate what I do then I know I am giving myself the chance of one day being the Aberdeen manager. "There is an element of selfishness from myself, but my long-term goal is to be the best manager I can possibly be and working with Mark can only help me. "John Boyle and Motherwell have been fantastic to me as a player and coach and it was really difficult to turn down the manager's job at Fir Park. "But I have a drive to do well here. "Hopefully Mark and I will be a big success here and if Mark does go on to bigger and better things then hopefully I will have shown I am capable of taking on a job like this." Leitch, who won the Challenge Cup in his one season with Ross County, is relishing the challenge of working with new players under a new regime and is eager to begin work with the players when pre-season begins on July 1. He added: "Mark and I have worked extremely well in the last two years and I would like to continue the learning process with him for the next few years anyway. "To come to a club like Aberdeen is a fantastic opportunity for myself. When I went back to Motherwell I knew all the players so it was an easy transaction for me. "Coming here, working with a different board, with Willie Miller and for fantastic fans who demand success is an exciting challenge."
