Given Morecambe finished 24th from 24 and lost their League status, I imagine the new position is leaning on the counter at the job centre.

Derek Adams - the Donald Trump of Scottish Fitba, Couldn't even sort a wall.

Ach if it's neilson , give him a chance, don't want to do it without you .

Played well tonight. Did all the simple things well and was always available for the ball. His team mates will eventually learn to trust him more than they did tonight. There were a few "just wow" moments as well. One pass to McGinn in the first half and a wee flick and turn in the second half that I still dont know how he pulled it off as the tv didnt show it again, but it was Zidane level of ridiculous. The boy is going to the top. Let the bidding commence.......

Welcome to the Forum Skips.

Scott Brown, Robbie Neilson Fleetwood Mac and Derek Adams ffs, we really need a genuine potential candidate to discuss before this thread gets any worse.

Dam you beat me to it

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

Definitely, speedy recovery

Is he Danish or swedish🤣

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

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.

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.

The Wimmer situation was simply a case of bad luck. These things happen. What’s baffling is that some people still view overseas managers as though they’re strangers from another world, like we’re stuck in the late nineties. Football is more international now than it’s ever been. We should be focused on finding the right person for the role, regardless of where they come from. Their nationality shouldn’t matter.

i honestly think its taking a wee bit of time because we are going down the exact same route as last time and its the old work permit holding things up again and i am good with that aslong as we have someone in place for the players coming back on the 18th then its fine and dandy. After Wimmer it proves to me we can get a very very decent manager and dont have to settle for anything less our Chairman seems to think out the box i like that i shall never compain about trying something different thats for sure.

Brutal. I like it.

Seddon played 200+ games in his career, including 30 odd in the season before joining us, so I'm not sure we can call him injury prone. Definitely not in the mould of Sam Nicholson, who is a genuine perma crock. Seddon had 2 injuries with us, and missed games at the start of the season when wilson kept his place. The big injury he had last season was the ankle one that put him out for months, that i think happened in a game. It would come down to how hard those are to recover from long term. I like him, and he's a better footballer than the other options there, he also gives us a good fdw options on the left of defence, whether LB, LWB, or LCB, so I'd like to keep him, especially since decent left bqcks dont grow on trees, but he hasn't played enough for me to be turning up at FP with a pitch fork if he wasn't extended.

Anyone can get an injury surely

Well quite. According to someone on Facebook who knows a "source" it's taking so long because we have had so many applications from overseas

To 'pursue options' it said. Sure he did the same a couple of years ago and pitched back up early in the season (having missed pre season training).

Credit to the Board that the media, yet again, has no clue who we're even talking to. The bookies must love it when we have a vacancy, because they never need to pay out.

Played schools football with him and then watched him through the Ancell years. It's a good month to be 87.

Our own Ian St John would have been 87 today Legend at both my clubs Motherwell and Liverpool. Wish I could have seen the great man play live Saint and Greavsie also growing up was classic TV

The new kit? It's okay given the way the club has messed about with it over the years. At least there are no white shorts. I don't like the pin stripes and I HATE the fact the chest band only goes half way round. But at least it doesn't look like a Galatasaray training top like last year's effort. For me, the best strips in my lifetime were the 1994-96 top, the 2010-11 top and the 2023-24 top. Primarily because the chest band went all the way round but the relative, traditional simplicity of them also helped. The chest band only the front only looks half-assed and janky, too much "frippery" takes away from what is a strong traditional look and white shorts just look daft. White shorts were never "traditional". They were just the only colour available back in the day unless you used black. In the 30s there was a rule the home team HAD to wear white shorts, while the away team HAD to wear black. The advent of coloured shorts was a godsend for clubs like Motherwell with more original colours. When I grew up in the 70s, I didn't know Motherwell had a unique, traditional strip of their own. I wondered why our strip continually changed while others maintained their own unique look. I was thrilled to discover we had the amber top with claret chest band as a distinctive traditional strip. It should be one of the most distinctive, attractive and recognisable tops in football. Instead it is mucked about with and turned into some of the most hideous crimes against football fashion ever committed. Harrumph!

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
