I see big Ange postecoglu has been punted by Spurs, maybe he fancies a return to Scotland, he knows the league well 😃

The ugly sisters have been the graveyard for developing home grown Scottish players over the years, how many have been labelled as the "next big player with a great future in the game". 2 or 3 years down the line their contracts are up and they dissappear off the face of the Earth having achieved nothing other than a healthy bank balance for a couple of years.

The media must be getting desperate for a clue as to our next manager Where are Motherwell in manager hunt? And is Neilson a contender? - https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/crmkpwzypnlo Nielson, Docherty, Brown and Ketsbaia was the best they could come up with 🤦‍♂️

Nobody is getting uptight we are discussing a valid topic that has annoyed people for years. It should be an individual choice whether you want to be an unpaid advertiser for some random company or product. As has been mentioned in previous posts possibly charging a premium for the logo free shirts might be an option, then its an individuals choice to buy it or not. I'm sure the club could sell logo free kit directly outwith any shirt sponsohip deals, we've done it before with the white tops a few seasons ago, nothing is impossible.

We are a fan owned club allegedly its maybe time that the WS got involved in a real topic of interest to the supporters and see what can be done re selling sponsor free replica kit.

This thread is going downhill fast, the sooner we get a real contender to discuss the better.

Prefers a 3-4-3 formation apparently https://totalfootballanalysis.com/head-coach-analysis/thomas-worle-ulm-202425-tactical-analysis-tactics

Did Jurgen Klopp ever get a new club? 😂

If you rush things you end up with the likes of Presley, Kettlewell, Naismith, Docherty etc, good to see we are taking our time as this appointment is massive. We need stability for a few season to allow whoever comes in to build a team. Another out of the blue appointment like Wimmer would be ideal, fresh outlook and ideas etc as opposed to the usual process of recycling failed managers we are used to.

Totally agree, I've never understood why we need to change the strip every season or two, its unecessary nonsense. Why can't we just find a design, in the club colours and keep it as do Celtic, Newcastle, etc who had had the same basic design forever. For me if I had a choice between the hoop or the stripes, I'd pick stripes as per the shirt we wore in the mid 1920's that was a cracker.

I'm long past the buying replica kit stage, but it looks like a decent top ruined by my pet hate, tacky sponsors logos. But no doubt it will sell well to those fans who like to be up to date.

Not really but hey ho it got you a laugh. And as weeyin says if Miller is as highly rated as we are led to believe why would a top club not be interested in him as a future prospect.

Is that based on anything other than pure speculation, that would be a great move for him.

Linfield are the big team in a bang average league so they are going to win more than most, so healys stats will look good, a bit like Rodgers at Celtic. For me he cant be thought of as that good a manager as he's been there for a long time , he must have applied for a few jobs but never got any. If he goes to Dundee that will be a big step up, so time will tell how that pans out. I hope we use the same approach that identified Wimmer and bring in someone fresh to the Scottish game.

That won't be on the kids replica kit then.

We did give them a big scare in Dortmund, to this day I still can't believe how Tommy Coyne never scored when he was clean through 1 on 1 with Stefan Klos, that was our moment.

From memory i think UEFA reduced it from a 6 match ban to 3 matches, but as he never played in Europe again it was irrelevant anyway.

A true Motherwell legend Dave, great news he is doing OK.

I done exactly the same, I think the number of Hospital and dental appointments in the shire that day was thousands above normal levels. As you say bad refereeing and play acting taking advantage of our European naivety back then, I think Rab Shannon still has a 3 match Uefa ban to serve after his red card that day 🤣

Whatever blend of C&A the new kit turns out to be, it will undoubtedly be ruined by some tacky sponsors logo plastered all over it. Start giving the fans an opportunity to buy a sponsor free version I'm sure it would be a big seller.

Enlighten me wtf is sensitive about the club confirming that a current club employee is still employed at the club?

It's basic stuff ffs, "Wimmer has gone but Ahmet Koc is still at the club and working as normal" that's all that was required, a 5 min tweet. The people running the club can look a bit amateurish at times, the optics are not great.

That's who I'm thinking as well now that its been confirmed he's still at the club, but if that was the case would the club not have announced it right away?

With you on that, the club should have announced he was still here, very poor communications. I wonder if he is in the frame for the job, or just staying on to oversee the required recruitment etc.

Good teams win league titles, its lucky teams who win cups, for me i would not care if we had an easy draw to the final then be gifted an OG to help us win.
