Well-Made

Nijholt is out of contract, he has left\is leaving Red Bull.

Would be good if we got further in the Europa League as well before we meet them

No need for this any longer. Closed.

Confirmed on the Aberdeen website Here Nothing on ours yet.

This Setanta carry on could be a blessing in disguise while we still wait for a new gaffer. Billy Reid is in the papers today saying he knows who he wants to sign but can't do anything until the Setanta stuff is sorted out as it will affect his budget. Other one David Lilley at Killie has been told he can find another club as the one and only offer he was given has now been pulled from the table. I also saw yesterday that Dean Holden is looking for a new club after Falkirk released him. His family are now settled in Scotland and he'd like to stay but may end up going back down South. Although 2 clubs in the SPL have expressed an interest. Not sure if either these would be seen as signings we'd get excited over but if Quinn\Reynolds\McLean are away they may be worth considering.

The Daily Express today reports that McGhee and Leitch have agreed to reduce their wage demands from Aberdeen to the same basic they are on at Fir Park. This is to allow Aberdeen to match the £200K compo. Other things to note, it also reports that we are looking for £200K for McGhee and a further £50K for Leitch but Boyle may settle at the £200K for both. McGhee has already looked into resigning and getting the move that way but has been advised against it. My thinking on this is that McGhee's hands may be just as tightly tied behind his back at Aberdeen as they are at Fir Park. Especially if he is having to drop his wages to allow the compo to be met. It means that there can't be a lot of money about at Aberdeen if they can't match our asking price and knowing McGhee's history with us he'll look at bringing in a couple of players are above the normal wage level of the club. It's then he may find out that the promises made by Milne and Miller are just hollow promises. I think on this move McGhee is letting his heart rule his head and he is making the wrong move. Having said that I no longer would welcome him back into the fold at Motherwell if the deal was to collapse. It may be a different kettle of fish if he's the one that realises that he is letting sentimentality get in the way of his career but I'd always be wondering when the next opportunity to get out was going to come along. I hope things get sorted out today Mark and I thank you for what you have achieved at Fir Park over the last 2 years. All the best for the future and hopefully we'll be able to show you how good a football team you could've had playing on the new pitch under our new gaffer. Especially when we gub you every game.

Add at least one keeper to that. Two if Fraser decides he doesn't like who is brought in as the new gaffer.

McGhee made the comment that he didn't like putting people out of work hence not taking anyone with him. On this occassion there is no-one to put out of work. He has to build the backroom staff himself. Hence the easy option of taking Leitchy with him.

Not sure about the rest of the questions but I'd probably treat the fans in the same way as past boards, I mean after all we don't really need the Motherwell fans so I'd give the whole ground to the Old Firm, the South Stand, the POD, DC and East Stand. Same with any other team that I could think of fleecing in the same way. This way they'd all have a perfect view of the 20 180" Wide screen TV sitting on what used to be the park. In the meantime every Motherwell fan will be sitting inside the new 20,000 seater ground in their luxurious leather chairs with personal service provided by a good looking member of the opposite sex (or the same if wished ) Their will be 4 standing areas available, all on top of each of the stands with a bar for those that so choose. Please note however that there will also be 50ft Perspex wall all around so that no accidents can occur and no bovril can get spilt onto the picth. The kids would have their own area with XBox's, PS3's etc all available pre match, halftime and post match so that the parents can "watch" the game in peace and enjoy a few sherberts.

STV believe the compo has now been agreed and McGhee will be unvieled later today. STV

Scott Burns at the Daily Express is reporting that McGhee will be unvieled as the new Aberdeen boss today. It's expected he'll move to take Klimpl to the Dons as well.

See that the Record is now reporting that McCall has signed a new 3 year deal with Partick. All I'll say is thank god for that and get it up ye Keevins with your exclusives.

Shame they still haven't amended the story on their website though. Here

The Daily Express reports he has thrown his hat into the ring. He better not be hanging around. Another story in the Express is that Celtic could wait until the end of the month before getting Mowbray. Apparently, Mowbray and co. go onto a reduced contract due to West Brom being relegated. This means that the compo will come down to £1 Million instead of the £2 Million that is being asked for just now.

Setanta Saved? For a while anyway!! This is from today's Rancid Everywhere else it seems that they will go into adminstration this morning.

No, a Pre Contract Agreement isn't legally binding. Last I heard TB was still trying to persuade him to stay.

Off the tv screens by midnight. I know what you mean about cancelling. Got in touch with them through their website to cancel about 2 months ago. Heard nothing. Got ed up wiating on the phine for them, so cancelled the DD. They called last week and asked me to make the payment plus the next one due at the end of the month. But said I'd still need to send them in writing a cancellation request. They gave me an email address and siad I would get a notification returned. I then said to call me this weekend and I'd sort out what I was due, once I had confirmation the cancellation was going through. Guess what? Still haven't got that confirmation and now they can twist for their money.

JB Please note Ian McCall = NO MEANS NO!!!!!!!!! Don't want him anywhere near Fir Park please. I'd even consider Malpas before him!!! My reasons? I think he's a cocky twat that thinks he's better than he ever will be.

The Sun

Posted this earlier tonight in the who would we get thread Ricky. Luc is free

I hear that Sutton thought he was going to be able to fill the position, that was left vacant, by the shit leaving with Yogi Hughes but is now having to look elsewhere. Bookies Favourite now is Maurice Malpas.
