I’m sure a few Aberdeen fans said the same about Shankland when he was with them.

the reason it took days to announce was it took that long to find a suit that goes with the tie.

Sorry but I’m a Liverpool fan as well as a Motherwell fan and I can assure you that that was a hard watch and an even harder result to accept. Money doesn’t make it any easier.

I’ve no doubt Liverpool fans are going ape shit on forums about tonight, the fact they’re 8th in the league sandwiched between Brighton and Brentford on the same points and how poor they’ve played this season but at the end of the game tonight after what they’d just seen they still sang and supported the team. Fair play to them and maybe something some of our fans could learn from.

So do we not then have to employ someone for Clarkson’s role? What about an assistant manager? Also, the money for these rolls are all budgeted for so no real increase in wages unless a new manager asks for more than SH was on.

Smiddy & Richie, you guys should know better than to try and post facts or add a bit of reality here - tut, tut, tut.

At the moment I’d imagine he’s making good wage as the academy’s head, add to that what he makes through tv/radio work, all without any real pressure. If he takes the job how much more would he get and how much stick could he get? No wonder he’s taking his time.

I’d think that if we don’t go with SK then Dundee Utd possibly will.

Was looking dicy for the first 8 minutes but after that we were as good as or better than Hearts for the rest of the game. SK wasn’t in my thoughts as manager but his selection’s, set up and constant talking to the players is putting him front and centre at the moment - wonder what the boards thinks

Great display, attitude and work rate from everyone was outstanding. Been struggling for months to pick a MotM due to no one deserved it but today I’m struggling because 5 or 6 deserve it.

Tony Watt’s agent must have made a packet out of him.

Poor woman, when she married you for better or worse she must thought you couldn’t get any worse - little did she know

That’s good planning if you ask me

I think he will eventually come good at SPFL level - not comparing but look at Shanklands career.

Totally, nowadays if a manager is any good a bigger team will take him and if he’s poor we get rid of him.

Wonder what position he’s playing, out on the wing or through the middle. The over the top abuse he got was embarrassing.

With his dad being an ex professional and a manager himself, I’d imagine that he will be overseeing his boy’s career and will be heavily involved in any decision - maybe we could offer him a job as assistant to the new manager if he gets his boy to sign on again edit: I’m sure he did not bad at Killie and only left after falling out with the board - feck it if he keeps the boy here make him manager

If that’s the case then hopefully he can help us avoid relegation before he goes and we get a decent sell on clause when he goes.

The two who needed subbed are off so SH is seeing the same as us. Give KVV 15 minutes max then hook him

On the season ticket money, my understanding is that the way the insurance policy worked, the club was obliged to repay the season ticket money to the ticket holder which they did by giving them a free season ticket. The club then tried to get the holders to donate money to the society in the hope that they would make out of it. If people did this then the club made out of it but if people kept their cash - and they were well within their rights to do that - then the club didn’t make as much out of the insurance policy. As to the money spent on the pitch, £100k savings a season is a players wage - or could be a massive difference if we go down. edit - not sure how much the club make from season tickets each season but I’d be surprised if it’s over £1M

Need to give a manager at least a season, not nice watching this shit but two managers have failed to turn these players into a team why do you think a third will have better luck?

KVV first touch is shocking

possibly as he arrived yesterday, he’s going through a medical today or tomorrow and will sign once everything is ok. possibly Celtic and other bigger clubs do this sort of thing abroad before getting the player over so the signing appears to be done quicker.

Looking good to get the signing completed but it wouldn’t be the first time signing fall through at a late stage - I remember a guy we signed on loan only to have to send him back to his parent club the next day

Still think he’s a decent player and could do us a turn if he gets over his injury.
