Who linked us to Jack 'Harry' Vale?

Bet it isn't him.

If 15 games without a win resulted in automatic dismissal, we would've waved bye bye to '91 and the best Motherwell side I've ever seen.

Nein, nein, nein.

He definitely doesn't get the time you'd think he would, given the number of goals he's scored from midfield. Postecoglou, Rodgers and Clarke all seem to have reservations about playing him for some reason. Be interesting to see how he gets on at his next club.

That's 32 minutes more than the entire Norwich squad played in Europe this season. Something to tell the grandkids about when he retires in May.

No, you look for someone better and if you find him, then you bin the manager. If you don't, stick, don't twist. Ross County didn't really look for better than Mackay, they just got fed up with him and took the lazy option of bringing in an old pal. Now they're going to pay the price.

Problem is, most clubs have to move players out before they can bring new guys in, so when you've cut the squad to a certain point - like us - you're basically forced to bring bodies in, whether they're the ones you wanted or not. Like Oli Shaw, I assume. By the way, is he gone or not?

At least we're getting them out.

They might not rate him now, but they did not so long ago. If he's not happy there, why give him the chance to get it right up you if there are options (with more money, no doubt) elsewhere?

Even if we were in for him, if we couldn't match a League One side's wage demands to get Fraser on loan, how could we possibly afford to outbid and outpay another side from that division to get Nouble?

Where did you read we were in for Nouble?

He sounds like a guy who doesn't fancy going in on Monday. Levein sounded scunnered in his interview too. Maybe the pair of them have woken up to the realities of managing a provincial club in 2024.

Yeah, I thought they looked good together. Obviously we're not playing Alloa every week so they'll need to be at it defensively, but I'm hopeful too.

Maybe we could give the boy more than 5 minutes before putting the black cap on.

You don't need that many decent players to survive in this league. If we can add two or three of them in the right positions we should be ok, starting up front.

To be fair, your suggestion was far funnier.

Feckin Spittal missing everybody with that free kick again.

Get beat?

We have a shit, threadbare squad, hee haw money to bring in decent players, and with only days left to bring in anyone, you think they're going to start looking for a new manager? Ok, let's say they do - who d'you fancy, Frail, Foster or Clarkson?

And do what?

No.

They're not sacking him, so are you happy to go with what we've got?

Young guy who's been scoring for them in the last few games, Bobby Wales, was reportedly recalled by Killie.

Who is Harry Vale?
