If you want to keep misrepresenting my point, that’s your choice. But anyone reading what I actually said will see it for what it is. To clarify once more: my view is that the Board might see appointing someone who currently lives in the south of England - or anywhere far away - as a risk. That concern has nothing to do with ethnicity or country of birth. My reference to Wimmer as an unfamiliar foreigner was specifically in the context of him also not living in Scotland. And that’s exactly what he was to me. He was someone unfamiliar who lives far away in Germany. For what it’s worth, I’d be happy with another unfamiliar foreigner, a Scotsman, or anyone else. My only preference is that they live relatively nearby. We don’t want a repeat of Wimmer. It’s obvious that you’re trying to misrepresent my original post above as xenophobic, and I’m not having it.

That’s not what I said or implied, so don’t mischaracterise my point. My point was simply that the Board may now see it as too risky to appoint someone who doesn’t live in Scotland. The issue wasn’t that Wimmer was an unfamiliar foreigner, but rather that he wasn’t based in Scotland, which made it challenging for him to manage both the job and his personal life when issues arose back home.

After the Wimmer debacle, I doubt the Board will take a chance on another unfamiliar foreigner who doesn’t live in Scotland. It may now seem a bit too risky.

Brutal. I like it.

We'll only have ourselves to blame if we go into next season with the majority of the same squad and wonder why we're still crappy.

Lennon Miller = 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

Yep. As with Casey, and given they weren't detailed in the GTF list, I can only assume we've also offered contracts to Paton, Davor, Moses, Thompson and Seddon. Of that lot, Seddon is the only one worthy of an offer.

Wimmer didn’t get pelters and he still buggered off.

I’ve got a feeling that it’ll either be Neilson or a Wimmeresque random. I also think that the latter will be hard to find, so we may just plump for the ‘safer’ option this time.

Clark is a stubborn and arrogant clown. Get him to fuck before he further embarrasses us.

Clarke should’ve been emptied last year, and Gemmill emptied long before that.

Delighted for Miller. He played well tonight, showing his positional awareness and passing ability.

And who appointed you gatekeeper? It’s the close season, of course people are going to post things other than football matters. If you don’t like it, don’t read it or engage with it.

Not quite. It would only be ironic if the posters were also employed as so-called professional journalists. And they just publish second hand news anyway.

…by a landslide.

Nick McPheat is a Well fan. I don’t think he is purposefully promoting home grown / old boys. Rather, he suggests, and I agree, that of those candidates, Robbie Neilson is the only realistic standout option. He’s also avoided speculation along the lines of the bookies odds. On pre-season, the Club announced: Our first-team will return to Fir Park for pre-season on Wednesday 18 June, before setting off for Delden, Netherlands, on Wednesday 25 June. I think we’ll either see Robbie Neilson or David Healy, or another complete data-driven random, get the gig this week or next.

That's now at least two gambles involving Riku Danzaki that haven't paid off.

This is very good! https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2025/06/02/our-2025-26-home-kit/

The late June / July fixture schedule looks pretty good: Friendlies Sat 28 June - TBC v Well (7pm) Tues 1 July - FC Twente v Well (7pm) Sat 5 July - Bellshill v Well (3pm) League Cup Sat 12 July - Clyde v Well (3pm) Tues 15 July - Well v Peterhead (7.45pm) Sat 19 July - Stenhousemuir v Well (3pm) Tues 22 July - Well v Greenock Morton (7.45pm) Friendly Fri 25 July - Well v Hertha Berlin (7pm) Any more games planned or rumoured? And will we have a new manager and settled squad by the end of June?!

Delighted with those. A local away derby for the opener and Stenny away will be fun. And you can’t argue with the two midweek games being at home. Excellent.

You’re correct. I accidentally typed 4 dots instead of 3. I look forward to pointing out simple punctuation mistakes in your future posts. In fact, your comment is missing a comma. It should be “3 dots, no?”. We all make misteaks.

I’m aware. That’s why I finished my statement above with an ellipsis.

That's a decent draw and we should be looking to progress without any major hiccups....

I’m taking about the new Board and the new Chairman’s plea to fans. The previous Board never listened to the fans and look where that got them. I also imagine it was only a handful of fans and the compliant media calling for Wright to get the gig a few years ago.
