You don't buy a ticket to see Bob Dylan performance and find out he's, replaced with shell suit Bob. Just really fed up with rebuilds and the massive Gulf in cash between us and others in league.
But we are not going to have a massive rebuild. All our player are contracted until 2028. Motherwell are not going to have a fire sale. I suspect we will cash in on Maswanhise , daft not to and possibly Watt but I think that's about it. This is one season where we won't have a massive rebuild.

If you offered me a million quid and a house in the south of France, I'd support St Mirren for a season.

Hopefully, JBA's tenure has laid the 'must know Scottish football' argument to a long overdue rest.
And after the last few weeks, anyone who does know Scottish football would probably steer well clear.
My biggest hope is it starts to dispell the "Scottish mindset" where they are beat in their heads before they face the OF. Our displays against them this season are night and day compared to the last 20 years particularly at Ibrox and Parkhead.

Yeah, my apologies. The player profiles I checked on the club website didn't mention the additional year option held by the club. I should've paid more attention at the time.
No worries every one of us has those moments.

2027 for most of them. If we plan to sell them, it's now or January, unless they do a Fadinger.
No it isn't it's 2028

We've been so pleasing on the eye this season that I'd be devastated if we returned to anything resembling 'Kettle/Alexanderball'. I honestly think it would make me think twice about renewing at the end of next season. And I don't say that lightly.
The Chairman and CEO will take one look at gate receipts and that will ensure the style we now use becomes the norm. Financial suicide for it not to be.

The facts are we simply aren't a big enough club to hold on to talent. I think it will be a very different team next season.
Even if we had managed to hold on to this team and coaching staff there is still the possibility we wouldn't have been as good or possibly even struggled.
That's why almost all players and staff go, they have to take their chance to move up as there is no guarantee it will come again. You're talking in most cases from going from having a decent living to millionaire status. It's not something you gamble on.
I think there is going to be a lot of unrealistic expectation going into next season. Fans need to realise there won't be any like-for-like replacements. Every player and coach is an individual and the team is a combination of individuals. There will not be a seamless continuation.
There will be a whole set of new challenges as there always is with every new season. As a support I hope we recognise that.
Alot of what you say is true.
However there are no clubs in Scotland that are final destination clubs..
All our first team squad are contracted until 2028 so we will only lose whovwe want to let go. We have millions in the bank and will get more this close season. We go straight to the last 16 of the LC so there's no panic at Fir Park. There's alot to be optimistic about. It's almost certain we will recruit a manager more in tune with the continental style of play we adopt. All our coaching staff are drilled in it now. Bums on seats have proved it's a winner.
A decent LC draw and a semi final place is not unrealistic. Our next manager must maintain the no fear of anyone attitude, especially against the OF because we've proved there is fuck all to be afraid of. It's a mindset that must permiate the entire club and become the norm.
Sure it's a bummer to lose Jens but the club is in great shape and given a fair wind we can continue the change in culture. We just need the fans to stay with the club through the transition to the new manager.
Heads up, fuck all to be gained by looking at our feet.

Max Rogers?
That's who I think will get it. His philosophy is very much the same as Askou. I remember him saying he had St Mirren youth team playing the way we do but the first team wouldn't adopt it.

If one was to read twitter comments, with no prior knowledge of the subject, you may actually think that Jens was potentially leaving Celtic to go to Toulouse.
As much as I'll be gutted to see him go you an understand his ambitions and a decent European side fits that ambition however if he ended up with those East End tramps I'd wish him nothing but bad luck.

I'm hoping that he realises that he's onto a good thing here and could build something really special in 2-3 years. He's got a lot Toulouse if he gambles on moving to France

That's awesome news, love the guy.
https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2026/05/19/contract-extension-for-lukas-fadinger/
I'm quite stunned at that. He was in my definite "be away in the summer" category ... Great bit of business. Fair cheered me up.

I hope if we are losing JBA it's done early so we have time to replace him. We should realistically have a shortlist ready to go as it shouldn't be a massive shock his track record shows he doesn't tend to stay long in jobs and you can't begrudge him a move for more money. The new manager needs to be in place for pre-season to get the recruitment done as we enter Europe in Conference League QR2 or league cup groups should Hibs win sat and Dunfermline win the cup/ That means next season restarts in July so not much turnaround. This rebuild should in theory be easier than the last as we have a decent core and lots of sellable assets which should attract some better players and managers than years gone by.
I suspect the next manager is already with us. The assistant manager is very much on the same mould, he had St Mirren youths playing the style we do now but the first team wouldn't adopt that style.

Congratulations to the management and players for a season that we will not forget.
4 th is the very least they deserve. Time to celebrate.
It is, it would have been a travesty if a bog average Hibs team had pipped us. Until the sending off we were in total control, real nice football. Final ball only thing missing. We've had some amout of officials rule against us this year. Would be great of we could keep the manager and most of the players for one more crack at some silverware. However we've got to be realistic. Well done to everyone at the club for absolutely the most memorable football I have witnessed in 50+ years. Also a huge well done to every Motherwell fan who has responded at the gates. It could have been quite easy not to buy into it early on but 90% of us did and stayed with it. To go from 5500 average crowd to 8600 in one season is frankly astonishing.

No one will put a decent offer in for him . He has reverted to type, a fast striker in the wrong place and always on the wrong foot and a yard short in position.
He was lucky to be in a good team playing well to score the goals he has . Won't be missed.
Said this weeks ago and you'd have thought I had committed a mortal sin.

Having seen some of the video clips, I’m not sure how VAR amd Beaton can be 100% sure he played the ball with his hand. For me the big clue is how the ball went out for a throw, the flight of the ball would strongly suggest he headed it.
I think the ball may have hit his hand but his hand is there because the Celtic players shoulder pushed it into that position as he jumped and his upward momentum pushed Sparrows arm up. Therefore it's not a penalty.

We have indeed been on the wrong end of very poor refereeing decisions, tonight's being the worst by a country mile.
I agree we've been falling short. However, even if we finish 5th, which I think we will, it will have been a great season and the team will have achieved way above my expectations.
A great season compared to other seasons, without doubt, but not compared to the high standards we've set and produced for 90% of this season. To potentially end behind a bog standard Hibs team is frankly a very poor return for this season, irrespective of how it compares to other season.

I know it was frustrating tonight, but I have seen us end the season, 2nd, 3rd and 4th multiple times, qualify for Europe multiple times, and even win a cup at the end of a season. Not to mention Craig Reid day at Pittodrie.
If you're expecting that every season, of course, you'll be disappointed, but if we didn't win important games we'd be fighting St Mirren for 11th.
Every game is important , I talking about games that can define our season. To finish 5th for the football we've played and the standards we've set is frankly a miserable return. Sure if we measure it against previous seasons 5th is terrific but that's not our benchmark our benchmark has been our standards throughout this season and frankly the possibility of being pipped by a Hibs team who have been nothing special this season is pretty poor ending in my book.

No danger, season ending on a whimper. Hibs will be so fired up for this and I just don't think we've got it in us when the chips are down. Hope I'm wrong but it would be such a typical Motherwell way to end the season.

We've competed very well tonight, I won't say anything about the penalty until I see a replay, but 3 wins in 19 against the Top 6 isn't good.
Off the top of my head I think we won 7 last season and we didn't even make the Top 6 so that was in less matches.
We've been on the end of some very poor refereeing decisions recently but at the end of the day you still have to find a way to win.
Also on a 1 win in 9 run right now.
Feeling pretty scunnered, this is a season that promised a lot but it's ended poorly.
Really need to get the result we need at the weekend.
Correct, it has been a great season but we can't ignore some very obvious facts. When the chips are down we've come up short. We need to bury that stat on Saturday but I'm not convinced, it would just be typical to end our season in 5th having been 4th for so long. One win in 9 is poor irrespective how the games have actually panned out.
