Ok. I obviously need to think harder! 😆😆😆

Scooby Dooby Doo! We Love You! We want some silverware now! Scooby Dooby Doo A Cup will do Now leave it over there now!

Because the Scottish Press didnt have a Scooby who we were going ro appoint?

Jens Berthel Askou's Motherwell Army doesnt exactly roll off the tongue, but Im sure the Bois will work sometging out! 😆😆😆

He is a defender..... https://www.uefa.com/under19/teams/players/250183380--julius-berthel-askou/

Apparently his son is a Danish u-19 international. I do hope he misses his dad. 😉😉😉

Id just like to go on record and thank the Executive Board for delivering my request at such short notice! If they can follow through on the second part top 6 beckons! 😆😆😆

The management position at Motherwell is always important. But so is a strong Executive Board. They are the ones who do the hiring and firing and they are the ones who have to sign off on the cheques any new manager wants to spend. I want to see a young progressive manager who wants to play football on the front foot and who has the ability to develop our young players and get them into the first team. If they can identify some (relative) quality into the side to improve our level of performance and ensure our squad players remain just that, all the better. But Id also like the Executive board to reign in the manager when required and stop throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. We have wasted some amount of money in recent seasons on players who contribute nothing but still pick up a wage. That needs to stop and that will determine whether we are better than Killie, Falkirk, Livingston et al at the end of next season.

If you read my other posts, you will see that I agree. Id rather have neither. My argument was specifically in relation to Neilson v Brown.

I take your point. But where's the adventure in that?

Fuck me thats grim! 😆😆😆

Ok. I get it. You dont like Scott Brown.

I suspect Ive been wooshed here, but here goes...... Obviously I will give him a chance, as I would with any new manager. Just some are more exciting than others. Doesnt necessarily mean they wont be any good. Neilson knows the league and has experience at our level. Would probably keep us up. But his pressers would be boring as feck and his team would in all liklihood end up the same. Brown may not be everyones cup of tea but he is a winner and wouldnt just give the usual stock answers to questions Could be a bumpier ride with him but it would undoubtedly be more fun. Still hope we go for Wimmer MK2 though. The thought process was correct even if it didnt work out as planned.

Id rather have Scott Brown than Neilson. At least he has a bit of personality about him. I suspect it will be neither of them.

Not by anyone with a Motherwell connection!

Played well tonight. Did all the simple things well and was always available for the ball. His team mates will eventually learn to trust him more than they did tonight. There were a few "just wow" moments as well. One pass to McGinn in the first half and a wee flick and turn in the second half that I still dont know how he pulled it off as the tv didnt show it again, but it was Zidane level of ridiculous. The boy is going to the top. Let the bidding commence.......

I liked Casey. Good defender at our level and wore his heart on his sleeve which always endears a player to fans. But he isnt worth breaking the bank for so if he thinks he can get a better deal elsewhere good luck to him. Seddon Id keep for all the reasons above. Thompson - punt Davor - punt Paton - punt Moses - if he has been offered peanuts and is happy to be our 80th minute chaos maker Id keep. Just because players like that arent easy to come by. Id also be looking to move on Nicholson, Robinson and Stuparevic as soon as they are fit, so wouldnt be including them in our squad numbers as I dont expect them to contribute.

Mika Biereth and Brodie Spencer facing off in the Denmark v N.Ireland game...... Edit: which just made me re-assess my flights to Copenhagen in September!

Sorry but cant agree with that. Scotland were shite last night, but Gilmour was one of the few actually trying to effect the game and play forward passes. If McTominay, McGinn and Ferguson had been anywhere near his level we wouldnt have ended up in the shit we found ourselves. You dont get Antonio Conte signing you unless you have something about you and his lack of game time was down to the fact Napoli have Lobotka who is an outstanding player. Thought Lennon did very well when he came on and didnt look out of place at all. The experience would have done him the world of good. Be nice if he got a start on Monday but I dont really see it happening. Re Ferguson, for someone playing at such a high level, Ive yet to see evidence of it in a Scotland shirt. Although, Im not really sure what he is being asked to do by Clarke? The game largely passed him by last night and he rarely showed for the ball. Very strange. Thought Max did well enough in the circumstances. Hopefully he and Lennon will get better chances to shine going forward.

Not sure he would get the time to build at Motherwell. He only wins trophies in his second season!

Thats a far superior kit in every way 🧡❤️🧡

I would have liked that actual design better, with claret shorts, obviously.....

In fact that one was smarter.....

Not for me. Too fussy. Band or pinstripes. Not both. Just looks a bit of a rehash of the one from a few seasons back. And G4 Claims is just a shit sponsor

McCall was very good and I liked him a lot. But he had a lot more resource at his disposal than most Motherwell managers. Albeit, some have had similar resource and wasted it. We did have some very good times under his watch though.
