Well Well

Ahhh...so the 'Flow is lurking...you passing some messages upstairs to JB perchance, gauging the fans feelings..?? Remember your beginnings young chap and gies us some info...or you can just PM me honest I will keep it quiet..

...or some fan's wet dream of an ex Well 'legend'... Lets hope JB can find someone in the middle, with a good experience level and SIGNED to a contract

No probs, thought maybe you had some inside info.

...and you base that on what...??

Just so the boo boys can have something to latch onto...awaits the barrage...!!

I wouldn't knock another teams saviour, he had a cracking record with them and his heart was always there...wish we had one we could fall back on..!!

Still probably got more cash than we have to offer more lucrative wages.

hmmm...If that comes off then I know what will happen to Ruddy and co...!!

AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH.....No more fucking ex-Well players please...!! Please JB don't let any of them anywhere near the interview room. We need a REAL manager not a fan's wet dream...!!!

Maybe JB should look in here first for a new manager. Bottom of the page is a drop down list of current avalable managers http://www.leaguemanagers.com/index.html

Never been a fan of bringing in ex-players as managers. Heart ruling head and usually goes wrong very badly. That is not what we need right now. We need an old head who can steady the 'Ark and get it back on a steady keel ( feeling seasick just now. ) So bin all yer ex-players, lets hope JB thinks the same way...!!

Fuck off with your current and ex well players. We need a manager who can take the team and move forward not more untested or inexperienced managers. We need some experienced hands at the helm just now. Think with your brain not with your cock in yer hand.(mind you with some on here you would think their brains where in their cocks).

As previously stated it is firstly and foremost a business, a results driven business at that. He wouldn't sign a contract..?? I would then question why we appointed any manager who did not sign a contract in the first place. Yes I agree with JB as the club owner he is protecting his business as much as possible. However, to run a club with a manager who has not signed a contract is foolish at best. Maybe JB was hedging his bets, who knows. As I stated previously if he was talking to clubs then I would have shown him the door there and then, but then he is thinking of his own future not the clubs. Time will tell but he definitely appeared pretty demoralised the last few weeks.

I purposely held off in the whole Gannon debate as we as fans are too quick to shoot down our own managers and don't give them enough time. I still feel that if this is true Gannon should have been given more time to develop the squad. I have read and listened with interest all that Gannon has said and done since he took the helm and I must say I agreed with a lot of it. I am not the type to hang onto players just because they are supposed club servants. I have never bought into that crap. Motherwell is a business, yes, a club I love dearly but at the end of the day it is purely and simply a business. Unless run properly it will go bust and nearly did so. If players lose form and don't get it back then sorry they should be let go and another brought in to replace them, there is no room for sentiment no matter how many years service the players have. If we look at any business then the cruel facts are that if you ain't performing and reaching targets you are very quickly shown the door. I personally think Gannon has done the right thing in publically naming and shaming players. If you give them instructions and they don't carry it out or worse ignore those instructions on the park they must be shown the door, no one is bigger than the club. From this forum and others I felt that this scenario is playing out with the players not performing as instructed and maybe this is why Gannon has been subbing players at innoportune moments in games, maybe not just my take on things. One stockport fan has come in on the debate in this forum and basically said that this was Gannons style and that given time the players produced good football using differing tactics throughout a game that confused opposing managers who could not keep up resulting in many good wins. Sadly I believe that this did not work here as I and probably Jim Gannon suspect the quality of players here are not at the same level as those Gannon had to pick from at Stockport. That may upset a few diehards on here but it is a stark reality we have what we have, as that is all we can afford to pay and bring through. Yes, we have a few diamonds but they are very rough and ready and have nowhere near the consistency required for the SPL. We have binned almost our entire first team squad and replaced them with loans. As many have said you cannot build medium to long term on loans, it is a quick fix no more. If it is true and Gannon is gone I fear we are going to face more massive upheaval and Mr Boyle may choose a safe option, another Malpas type who will only look to safety and nothing else. Many of our good teams in the past were built on solid foundations with a blend of experience and youth. No loans at all if I can remember in any of our winning teams. We need to get back to 3-4 year deals and build our foundations again. Yes there will be some duds and bad buys along the way but some good players we can build and cash in on at a later date. Ruddy for example. After 3-4 year contract I believe we could get a hefty return on him. I would love a Gannon type within the scouts who have an eye for the type of players he brought to this club. I also believed the whole referee thing had to be tackled and thought he was right to bring it out so publicly, lets hope that this has given the powers that be in the corridors of referee power the impetus to look at themselves a wee bit more critically and find ways to improve the product rather than going into their collective shells. If he has been going for interviews elsewhere then I as a fan can only condemn him for that as I want the manager whoever that may be, concentrating on making my club better not looking for avenues out. Yes, He has been naive in some of his comments that quite frankly made me cringe, but in hindsight I would probably agree with most of what he said. As many have pointed out on these very boards Gannon has only been saying what most fans have been shouting about for years. If he is gone, then as before we will move on, I just hope Boyle has the nerve to build on what Gannon has brought to the club and we don't return to the days of old firm cast offs and nomads. Thanks Gannon at least you brought some life back to the club. No matter what I will be there with my scarf round my neck and cheering the lads from the Cooper...C'mon the Well

Just like to wish everyone on the forums, all fellow dossers, all players, staff and management of my beloved Motherwell Football Club the very best for Christmas and in the New Year to come. Merry Christmas everyone...

What a complete embarrassment..Guys you should have spent your money on getting art lessons or better felt tip pens. If it got confiscated then I think it done out of sheer embarrasment and probably done you all a favour. Nothing wrong with trying out new things but this one is completely out there...Hopefully your next big thing will be less cringeworthy.

Without doubt the best post in this whole sorry debate. +1. Those guys and gals did not ask to go in ther and die in their hundreds, but they go in and do their jobs to the best of their abilities. I have known a number of guys in the forces and not one of them agree with our political masters and neither do I but they get on with it. The only people not doing their job is the sorry excuse for voters out there that blindly vote for these clowns every 4-5 years and then complain about their policies.

5-0 to the Well.......at half time...!! 7-1 Full time...time we gave someone a good drubbing and the sheepies will do nicely

I was wondering how long after the game this thread would get started.. . Motherwell fans miss nothing don't we...We criticise when the club tell us nothing, we criticise when they tell too much...FFS gie the guy some breathing space and stop looking at every single thing under the microscope for hidden meanings...This is a non story, end off

I predict we will win this 1-0 with a ross forbes goal..

Have you actually read any of this thread or just the heading...What a bloody stupid question..!!

Maybe the fact that it was a new match commander working at the game maybe had something to do with it...flexing his muscles so to speak..speaking to a cop friend who was not surpised as thats the guys style....the guy is not very well liked even in the Polis...!!

...until another team scores more goals than we do...what a stupid bloody thread...!!

Right...game over...who we humping next..??
