STV news reporting tonight that JBA is allegedly the bookies favourite for the Aberdeen job 😱, so flow might have been on the phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they get the Killie favourite right? There is part of me that thinks it would be quite funny for JBA to go to Aberdeen and struggle in that environment while his successor continues to thrive.

Bookies odds mean nothing other than punters taking a flier. They are rarely indicative of anything based on fact. Although I'd be amazed if that diehard Motherwell fan Burrows hasn't been on the phone to screw us over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan Posted 20 hours ago Report Share Posted 20 hours ago If JBA ends up at Aberdeen this window, I hope he fails miserably, Flow gets punted into the North Sea and Cormack gets to enjoy the Championship next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsterwood Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago We should be doing all we can to offer jba better terms and show ambition given the squad value looks to have increased. He said today he wants to stay and see season out at least and maybe bigger club will come in then.It would also be good on jba CV that he's stayed longer with a club.

Some positive comments and he's happy with us but no clear denial of interest. Maybe just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My take on his comments was 'if there's any interest in a player or staff it's internal' and the last people he said anything to was the press. He did follow it up by saying he's just here and enjoying it. Overall he plays with a straight bat but neither confirmed or denied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJC Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago I thought his response was perfect. Said very little and gave nothing away to a press pack seeking a quote or a snippet. Like it or not he is not going to come out and flat out say that he has absolutely no interest in moving to another club. Very few if any managers do that and even on the rare occasion that they do then it means nothing if they really want to move on. Craig Brown looking into Stephen Craigan’s eyes and not wanting to leave 48 hours before he did indeed leave for Aberdeen springs to mind. JBA absolutely knows how to handle the media.

They just offer bland word salad and that's what Jens did on that question Folk who read anything into the I'm happy here comment ask yourself the question would any manager / player ever say they didn't like their current employer ? No they wouldn't so anyone looking for reassurance that he's staying you are onto plums. Doesn't mean he's going , doesn't mean Aberdeen or Celtic will make an approach but you can rest assured if they did he'd go and listen to what they have to say ,as is his employment rights.

No doubt Alan Burrows will have mentioned the name, on the flip side of the coin it is his job to select a good manager for Aberdeen, hopefully not Jens Do not think he is going there at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmlarsson Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago According to swedish media we are in for Eythor Björgolfsson. He scored 15 times in 29 games for Umeå in the swedish second division (which is pretty good considering that Umeå finished in last place with only 30 goals scored). https://www.expressen.se/sport/fotboll/allsvenskan/bjorgolfsson-har-utlandska-erbjudanden-/ Google translate: Björgolfsson has foreign offers Published 8 Jan 2026 at 11.29 Updated at 11.54 Eythor Björgolfsson is free to look for a new club after the end of his spell in Umeå. According to information to Expressen, the striker has an offer from Motherwell in Scotland and interest from clubs in both Poland and Sweden. It was after last season that Umeå's top scorer Eythor Björgolfsson chose to activate a clause in his contract and leave the club, when Umeå was relegated from the Super League. During the winter, Björgolfsson has had concrete interest from several clubs. According to information to Expressen, he has chosen to turn down Västerås and Degerfors. At the same time, Motherwell from Scotland wants to sign Björgolfsson and there are clubs in both the Polish Ekstraklasa and in Sweden that want to contract the striker for next season. Björgolfsson expects to make a final decision within the next few weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd best clear that with Aberdeen fans first out of courtesy. One of my lasting memories of our legendary win at Pittodrie in May 14 was Dons fans playing this number for 89 minutes solid on brass intruments. No drums for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine the club will be not just looking at the playing benefit of keeping him, but the swell in seats being filled every game and the difference that makes to the coffers. I would be shocked if we didn't offer him a bumper contract and wouldn't shock me if it was the highest we've paid for a manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
