We're looking pretty hopeless right now.

OK, this page suggests that Stuart McCall's win % is better than Motherwell's all time win % in the SPL. Got to love stats! Butcher, Brown, McGhee all won games at about the same rate.

I doubt the win % of most of our previous managers would have been much better.

I'm sure this isn't the first time we haven't got our first or even second choice candidate. These things happen all the time, they just aren't always played out in the media. Out of all the names mentioned over the past couple of weeks, Fenlon was the only one that I thought would be an exciting choice. McCall isn't a glamour appointment, but anyone who was expecting a big name or someone with an excellent track record is deluded. Look at the quality/experience of players we attract and that will tell you the kind of manager we're going to get. Very few managers are going to want to work with almost no money, and even the teams in the lower leagues of England have money to spend, add this to the fact the guy has to be unemployed and this is going to thin out the list of possibilities further. I don't care who our new manager used to play for, all I care about is how he manages MFC. He's obviously impressed the board enough for them to offer him the job, so I'll trust them on this one for the time being. One thing that seems to be lost on SPL teams these days is bringing through players and managers from the Scottish lower leagues. Is this a quality or a financial thing?

Looking good, very easy to navigate and seems to be running quicker. However, the "home" link doesn't work and Willie McLean's picture isn't there. Shambles.

Alexei Mikhailichenko, Andrei Kanchelskis, Tonton Zola Moukoko, Eddie Large

That confirms the Celtic connection then.

Bop said the other day that he hadn't been mentioned yet, so if he knows who it is it's prob someone mentioned in the last day. Seems kind of suspicious that he commented immediately after Jay mentioned Boy George though.

Who's name rhymes with comma? This must be a clue

Are we at the stage where people can start dropping hints in the form of puns? I love when folks get all pissy about that.

Well here's a list of managers with premiership experience.

He'd probably have to take a pay cut to come here.

Streamlining the management of the game is a must. The ratio of administrators to players must be frickin ridiculous! We also need to streamline the number of teams we have, and these decisions need to be made with the good of the game in mind, where "the game" is the sport of football and not the SPL. That's why we need some outsider to get involved, as we need some logical, impartial, thinking. I think it would be beneficial in the long-term if we lost our TV deal altogether. Then we really have to start from scratch, instead of trying to patch things up to keep the money coming in.

Who were the papers' favourites when McGhee and Gannon were appointed? Ian McCall? Owen Coyle?

We used to get 10k at old firm games, and a fair few away fans from Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen. Chances are the dip in home support isn't as dramatic as the change in away support. There's also the kick-off times, cost, dick head stewards, TV, and the fact that it's shite.

You need to queue up one at a time to get in, otherwise it crashes. It's the website equivalent to newsagents and schoolkids at lunchtime.

It's just one game, and is Jennings under investigation? I missed that bit.

We now know that he was sent of for foul and abusive language. So, what could he have said that provoked such a reaction, considering players always seem to be swearing at refs on the telly? All the sweary words are kind of normal now, other than count, so did he say that? I think nethertonwellfan's (I think it was him, searching takes too long ) "I am going to rape you and your family" is the best suggestion so far, but was wondering if there were any other suggestions. Or did he just question the ref's integrity? They don't like that.

I heard Jeffries swear twice on the telly.

I reckon if you could scroll down in that BBC pic you'd find the ref had a boner.

Everything Kevin Kyle does is a foul. He should get booked for looking like himself.

I don't care about the result, Hearts deserved to win as far as I'm concerned, they looked the more dangerous team. The Liverpool connection is worrying, and if it wasn't for that I don't think anyone would be considering that Jenno was involved.

I've seen these kind of things before, it usually turns out to be someone completely different who you would never have suspected at the start. Jenno or the ref are too obvious, bad TV. Seriously though, I'd be sick if our guy was involved, but would fucking love it if the ref was in on it.
