And I would have been very surprised if you'd said anything other than that.

Correct, in my defence I wrote that last night while slightly drunk 🥴

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.

mjc walking down the fir park road lol

He’s been appointed 20 mins ago and he’s not even gave a statement yet…. Completely fkn unacceptable!!! Get him to fk

His English is exceptional as well, he’ll struggle in Motherwell

Koc will test him with a high five then make a decision.

Out: Bob Park In: Common sense

Whigfield is Danish, so: Da da da dum da dum de da da da da da - Berthel Askou

Firstly, I am very glad that it isn’t Richard Foster. Secondly, best of luck to Jens Berthel Asko. But thirdly, this appointment gives me the fear big time for some reason. I will be very surprised if this works out.

Apparently his son is a Danish u-19 international. I do hope he misses his dad. 😉😉😉

A quick look in the papers at the list supposably in with a shout of the job would soon sober anyone up.

Can't decide whether the posts on here are worst pre or post announcement

Because the Scottish Press didnt have a Scooby who we were going ro appoint?

Aye we’ve at least 4 friendlies before the first competitive game for some of our footballing geniuses to write him off.

God help him being interviewed by Tam Cowan

CV very impressive so fingers crossed. Club again played a blinder and kept it under the radar. Looks like a lot of research done again so looking forward to seeing him Welcome to the madhouse Jens

Called it.

The club have played a blinder yet again considering it was only a couple of hours ago that charlie adam was in the running 😂

Buzz buzz off...

Can't access page, must be busy. Good pedigree though, just gutted his first name wasn't Arthur....hello playmates!! One for the older readers

Its Scott Burns likely doing a few Agents a favour and getting names out there.

If we signed Sylla it would be a surprise surprise 🤪

The management position at Motherwell is always important. But so is a strong Executive Board. They are the ones who do the hiring and firing and they are the ones who have to sign off on the cheques any new manager wants to spend. I want to see a young progressive manager who wants to play football on the front foot and who has the ability to develop our young players and get them into the first team. If they can identify some (relative) quality into the side to improve our level of performance and ensure our squad players remain just that, all the better. But Id also like the Executive board to reign in the manager when required and stop throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. We have wasted some amount of money in recent seasons on players who contribute nothing but still pick up a wage. That needs to stop and that will determine whether we are better than Killie, Falkirk, Livingston et al at the end of next season.

It's nowhere near the most important appointment post admin. The Wimmer appointment itself was much more important. The Kettlewell and Alexander appointments also. You could also add Craig Brown and Mark McGhee 1.0 to that list off the top of my head. Baraclough as well, probably. Livi and Falkirk being in the league should give us a fair bit of breathing space to the bottom of the league. Dundee deciding to become a basket case again after a couple of relatively quiet seasons, Killie replacing McInnes with SK and St Mirren potentially losing Robbo should make the season even more comfortable. We'd have to genuinely have one of our worst seasons ever (not one of the kid on ones everyone has claimed we've had for the last 15 years) to finish below 2 of that lot.

The transfer window's closed right now and doesn't re-open until the 16th - thanks to the finagling of a short, early window to allow the World Club Cup teams to buy even more players before kickoff. Regardless, I'll be much happier to get a good manager at the end of June than an average one on Friday. We're in this for the long haul. If we're talking to currently employed managers (which our CEO hinted at), or bringing in someone who needs a work permit, that takes even longer.

Thought he resigned with Liverpool recently.
