He is actually a pretty good footballer! Remember him in one of these shite charity matches and he ran the show for them - even bagged a goal. That was the one where Boris Johnson flying headbutted the German bloke. Best tackle in football history!

Sweet! Good to know that Scoob and the gang are solving all our little mystery's. Phew!

Yeah Flamaturi have kwon for a month they would be coming to the UK. Seems they have basically just forgot. I really doubt they will be able to get over in time. Bad news for Motherwell as it means no money on gate reciepts as we will have to get our money back. But good news as it means 3rd round party time! Mind you behind all this is old Hugh Keevins who probably doesn't even know who his mortage is with never mind the coming and goings of European football.

Aye a shite opinion. One minute you congratulate Sutton on scoring two goals the next you slate him for being niave for scoring a nalty, then the keeper saving one. And to top it all off suddenly Hammell, one of the best left backs in Scotland is shite, cos he maybe didn't perform that well in 40 degree heat. Away and chase yerself you sound like a fucking old firm fan!

Watched about 20 mins of the first half on a laptop in a Manchester hotel and I thought we were pretty good! Played the ball about, slane looked very impressive and young Forbe was playing some excellent passes. Anyone on here who can criticise the players when playing in such intense heat is quite frankly a bawbag. We were very unlucky and if we can play like today with another weeks training I am confident we can turn them over in Airdrie. Also to all the folk slating Hammel, Sutton et all - away back to yer caves and shut the fuck up!

Aye welcome aboard! 3 year deal is very impressive too. Good business for Motherwell and if he does turn out to be a gem then we can look at a tidy profit in the future.

Same could be said about Jim O'Brien at the beginning - all it takes is a bit of confidence and good coaching.

Shut the fuck up!

Maybe - or he may sweat off two stone and turn into Ronaldo (Not the fat one)

OK, I will get the ball roling. I think this will be a very tight affair due to the heat and hostile crowd. Hope for a draw, but heart says defeat. Fuck it - a draw!

Do you seriously think we as a club are in a position to be signing 4 or 5 experienced players from down south? We are scraping the bottom of the barrel like every other SPL club. Welcome to the future!

That statement from the club is rather confusing. If we have enough strips for the squad then fair enought, but is the selling of Motherwell merchandise not only a huge revenue stream for the club, but alos Provan sports. If there are no strips to sell then what happens?

The question is, are Flamaturi better than Llanelli? I would say they are. It will be a really tricky tie out there. Will be roasting, a hostile crowd and a lot of inexperienced players. We will probably get beaten. At Aidrie it will be a different matter. Overall its going to be a close one, but I think we have the quality to overcome them.

See what happens when you design pink fitbaw shirts.....

Aye, he hasn't signed anyone yet. I think people live in a world where Football Manager is gospel. Its not. We have no money and very few players see Scottish fitbaw as an attractive prospect. We will struggle to bring in players.

I can't understand all the hubub about Hughes. He played well for about 6 months of his two years here. He scored two goals for us and most times the games just passed him by. Will not miss him one jot to be honest.

Could be an interesting week then. I expect a few new faces to the showcased at Fir Park certainly by Wednesday.

Hope the fuckers get the jail. But lets not let this get in the way of the great behavior of every other fan who went to Wales. Can't let these bastards get the upper hand on us!

This post is up there with some of the worst I have seen! So McGhee was a useless prick? This not the same McGhee that got us third in the league and into Europe twice? If not then I have no idea what useless prick you are talking about. Back onto topic. I am glad Gannon is going for players in English league and not the typical journeyman in the SPL. It will give us an edge I think.

Nah fuck that. Get yerselve to fuck McLean. We stuck by him through many an injury and he has fucked off to a footballing backwater called Falkirk to play for a management team that probably can't add up fucking numbers! Total bawbag. Will get some serious booing from me the prick!

Difference between McGhee and Gannon is that the later seems to know exactly who he wants to bring in. McGhee didn't really have any particular players in mind when he arrived. Also in the later stages of his time at Motherwell he seemed to rely a lot on Gordon Strachcan to provide him with advice and players. Can't see the same happening with Gannon. Also with Stockport pretty much up for sale then he can get quite a few decent players from them.

I think thats a good thing that we have someone with no experience of the SPL. McGhee was rather unkown to the 'current' SPL setup and got us to third. I think being to well known to the Scottish football system can leave these managers rather narrow minded and not able to see outside the SPL. IF it is Gannon then I think from reading the Wiki on him then he will certainly shakes things up and hopefully with his experience on the lower leagues of England maybe pick out a few gems to sign.

Fuck me! Who have they not signed / sigining?

I'd take Foran back in a heart beat!

IF the tv deal doesn't happen, which could be the outcome, then how much of this so called transfer money will be used? I bet none of it! If its a case of the club surviving or signing players then I know what I would pick...
