weeyin Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/543330/Terry-Butcher-Motherwell-Return Not much in this story other than it looking like it is based on odds rather than any sort of inside info. Worth posting anyway as Scott Burns is usually pretty good. Well he is 100% correct in his story. No quotes and "*could* be set for a sensational return". Of course he would also be correct if he said that I "could be set for a sensational return" too, because the Board hasn't revealed anything to the media about how I *could* be on the shortlist.

weeyin Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 None of the current stories have any quotes, which doesn't surprise me, as our Board have always done a great job of keeping everyone in the dark. I'd be surprised if the appointment isn't a suprise - everything else is just speculation to fill the paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chummy Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Butcher...maybe but with Malpas as his no2.....no fuckin way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEWELL Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 According to reports he'll have to work with Black and Marshall as we probably cant afford to punt them. <_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coatsy Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 We need someone new and fresh not a failed manager from Hibs or Kilmarnock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star sail Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I would not be disappointed by the appointment of Kenny Shiels. His record at Kilmarnock was good. Kilmarnock have struggled since he left. I think the Morton job was probably a lost cause before he ever took it on. The big thing for me though is that he his passionate about coaching players and has proved that he has some aptitude at it. If we want to get away from the short sighted approach that seems to plague the game then is his philosophy not the kind that many of us have been crying out for? Slightly Gannonesque maybe but then I have very fond memories of the few months big Jim spent with us and I still believe that Gannon's appointment was almost a master stroke by the club. History tells us that in the end it did not work but the idea was absolutely correct. Shiels may be a bit of a maverick but sometimes the gamble can pay dividends.

punk_in_drublic Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 I had a dream last night that Shiels was given the job. Woke up with scratches on my face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1991 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Not 100% happy with Butcher or Shiels but would rather them than Adams so won't complain to much if either is appointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superward Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Butcher, Adams not Shiels will satisfy me. I don't know who will but not one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelvinBragg Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Confirmed at the press conf that although Kenny Black did not specifically apply for the job he will be considered. I really hope this is simply to motivate Kenny Black for tomorrow. Not the answer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 I've not noticed Tony Mowbray in the betting before today. 18/1. That's the kind of left field shout I'd be chuffed with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had thought of him when Venus was linked with the job. At Hibs, he had them playing attractive football and he didn't seem afraid of playing young players. Only concern would be the fact that we maybe need more right now is a "make your team hard to beat" manager... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a soft spot for Kenny Shiels. He's mental and a good laugh who made Scottish football a more entertaining place. Would I want him at my club though? For those complaining about the youth system at Motherwell, I think you'd have to take a serious look at him and weight that up with the other factors.

GazzyB Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Confirmed at the press conf that although Kenny Black did not specifically apply for the job he will be considered. I may be in the minority but I wouldn't be too unhappy about KB getting the job, I like what I've seen from him so far. Terry Butcher is a big no for me, at least with Kenny Sheils there's method to the madness. Would be pleased with Mowbray and would also take Jimmy Calderwood who did a great job at Aberdeen.

postiejim Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Kenny Sheils would be an interesting appointment ,used to like watching his after match interviews on YouTube maybe a loose cannon but no mug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowbray's name is still cropping up in connection with much bigger clubs than ours - Leeds, Birmingham etc. I don't think there's much chance of him ending up at Fir Park.

Coolhandluc Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 I've been really impressed with the job that Jonathon Jonhansen's done with the under 20s. He is young, ambitious , has worked under successful managers , knows the club and will not be afraid to develop and play the young guys. One of the five ?

Big Wispy Flossy Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Rob maaskant the latest name being linked I suppose that's more left-field. Decent pedigree and ex player of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
