To get to places like Tbilisi, Baku and Astana will cost upwards of £800 to £1000 on flights. Accomodation is pretty cheap. When I went to Tbilisi it was a flight from Glasgow - London - Istanbul - Tbilisi. Istanbul flys to most of these places. Sure a few guys went to Macedonia which is similar in terms of travel, not sure about price.

Who would you actually like as the manager? I think its going to be Gary Mac and Steve Stauton as assistant. That makes the most sense to me. Can't see why we would go for a guy who has been an assistant manager with Leeds and thats his only club level experience.

I think it maybe is....those Londeners are never blunt about getting their point across.

Sounds promising, but as Melvin says, if true then who is pulling the strings?

Rossco - he might have been inconsistent, but on his game he was the best player in the SPL. He has also proven himself in the Championship.

Where the fuck is Lawrie Sanchez actually from? He sounds like a Irishman lost in Spain. Or the name you give to your hamster.

If he goes I want £2 Million for him. He is a proven goal scorer in the SPL and is a Scotland International. If Fletcher can cost £3.5 Million then why not. I am sick of getting ripped off by the bigger clubs. Especially from Wales ;-)

He played the whole run in after coming back from injury and is now a first team player. How can he not have been given a chance?

I am getting very worried about the Brian McLean situation. He is the one player I do not want to lose this summer.

Who gives a fuck who he supports! Also I think the abuse he has got on here is really harsh. The guy seems to enjoy working with McGhee and feels he can learn a lot by being his assistant. Thats all fair play in my book. He never signed up to Motherwell for life and he gave us two years service which we have as a club benefited from. I never would have wanted Leitch as the manager anyway. He doesn't have nearly enough experience.

McGhee signing players from us is not really an issue if they are out of contract. Klimpl is not even a Motherwell player and Hughes doesn't want to stay. If they choose The Dons then fair enough in my book. McGhee overall did a decent job with the players he had and we can have no real gripes about the overall football thats was played. We never, ever recovered from the loss of Uncle Phil and I still believe that had a huge effect on our style of play and confidence. Last season we had a poor start, but in the second half of the league we we very consistent. But McGhee will always be remembered as the manager that touted himself across Scotland and never really had his heart in the club. Time was up and he left. Gary McCallister or Luc Nijholt IN....

Ha! You might even be able to go fishing up at Fir Park.

Christ, give the man the job! If we end up with some old school Scot, when we could get a young dynamic Dutch coach who insists youth is the way forward then its curtains for the well!

I voted no - his time is up and he has shown he does not want to remain at Fir Park. We need a positive outlook on the club, someone who wants to remain at the club for a long time and try and build up something. Not a one year and am now need to move on man. Jim Jeffries might be a moaning bastard, but he has always remained very, very loyal to the clubs he has managed and I respect that. He has been at Kilmarnock for 7 years now.

No he was killed in a dare devil motorcycle accident. Tried to jump 15 instead of his normal 10 double deckers. Thoughts are with the family.

I would turn Motherwell into the Real Madrid of Scotland and buy up all the top talent in the Country. Quality players like Ross Tokley, Stuart Duff, Christian Dailly would be brought in to show the world that I mean business. I would employ a seat cleaner to clean all the dried pigeon shit of the seats in the East Stand. I would employ an expert marksman wired into the East Stand. So a shoot on site policy is upheld if any shite patter is heard in the stands.

George Weah with Carlos Valderama as his assistent. While you are at it throw in Recbar Rustu as you coach. What a team!

Not really, we have tiny wage budget compared to them and if the worst comes to the worst then we can release players on higher wages. Can you imagine Rangers or Celtic getting rid of most of their top names while still charging the same amount for their season tickets? There would be outcry. Anyway its all hearsay as I fully expect something to be ironed out in the next week as no one is going to dismiss the money that can be made from screening Rangers and Celtic games.

I always loved watching football behind a white tape with a crowd of 50 on an ash park! Looks like it could be making a comeback! To be fair its Rangers and Celtic who will be fucked enourmously by this. Us and other clubs have the ability to manage it by freeing up wages and playing youngsters which we would accept. The evil hordes of Glasgow would not accept such a resolution on their great clubs! I feel that a deal will be churned out with some company be it Sky, ESPN or the BBC - but someone will want the revenue from the Old Firm games.

I have kept pretty quiet on all of this and I said from the start as soon as Jimmy Calderwood left Aberdeen that McGhee would go for the job. What’s surprised me is his total contempt for the club. He said last season in his own words we were the best side outside the old firm. If that’s the case then why go to Aberdeen? He also wrote an article in the Sunday Herald bumming up to the Aberdeen Faithful say it was like going ‘home’. What a load of old bollocks considering the same time he was writing that he was finishing off his Celtic application form. As soon as Celtic told him he wasn’t good enough he is back on the phone to Aberdeen and spouting more crap in the press. The guy has been great for us, no doubt about that, but I for one am sick to the teeth of his bullshit and even if he ends up not getting the Aberdeen job for whatever reason we should just tell him to leave. He has cut his ties with the club over this whole managerial merry go round so I am cutting mine with him.

McGhee will go to Aberdeen. No doubt about it. I have already given up any hope of keeping him this summer.

Not a chance! Back to work under Romanov! He live in Hamilton and I think would look at a local club to play for when his contract runs out. Enter Motherwell....

Just thinking, players like Paul Hartley, Cillian Sheridan, Paul Caddis, Lee Naylor etc could well be shown the door when the new manager comes in. Also if its Slavan Bilic who says he wants the job then I think he would bring in his own brand of football which might mean a mass exodus of players. I for one would think Hartley would be an ideal player for us!

Tell you what would be a belter - Inter Baku! Baku is a stunning city in Azerbajan. Mind you getting there would be impossible unless you have a small fortune. Also Tbilisi is a great city, but again you would be hard pressed getting there for anything under £700 I can't go to any away apart from Wales! Good stuff though and also a decent chance of progressing!

I'd take Susan Boyle in a heartbeat. Quality totty to look at from the stand. She will also get her shouts from the pitch across crystal clear. Heard she is also into football.
