bookies early list has led me to drinking early in the afternoon , not much there to inspire.   

Last time I thought Van Der Gaag was close to the job. As an assistant at AJAX and Man Utd I'd be happier for someone like him to join.

• Robbie Neilson . Managed 400 games with 50% win record. Experience in SPL
• Scott Brown.  130 games 40% win record. No experience managing SPL. 
• Des Buckingham.  176 games 40$ win record. Maining in Nz & Oxford. 
• Steven Naismith. 65 games win record 43%.
• Tony Docherty. 90 games. 30% win record. 
   

Just like every other time, the bookies list is made up nonsense, and fluctuates based on the betting patterns of a very small group of people who actually care about motherwell enough to bet on their next manager. We could probably get a random candidate at the top of that list just by sticking his name in here.

I forgot robbie Neilson existed, hopefully he considers himself too big for this job.

What an awful selection of dross that is.

Likewise if Van der gaag wants the job he’s got really good experience now and will have built up a lot on contacts I’d presume. I’d like us to still look at the foreign coach angle and a bit of freshness to our approach as oppose to the usual monotony churned out.

Bookies (and the media) haven't come close to correctly predicting our managers in recent history.

That’s so unfair, it must be really difficult to sit on Twitter all day and then copy and paste other folks story’s into headline news.

Can hopefully rule scott brown out as he is also working as an elvis tribute act.

David Healy has been mentioned for a number of Scottish vacancies and still is, but he continually distances himself from them. 

As others have said  I suspect that our next manager will be someone left field or unexpected and not picked from a bookies' list.

Healy is hard to judge, when Linfield are far and away the biggest club in that league. He's also coming up on 10 years there, so there's a decent chance that his next job might be a tricky one to adjust to.

I imagine the same rumored guys from last time that are still unemployed will be brought up again, like Evatt, VdG, Ketsbaia, and the gobshite club of fotheringham, courts, and the like.

At least last time we had the rumored german link which led to the papers phoning some random German i posted on P&B.

Dons last won Scottish cup in 90.......we won following year.    Hope that's an omen

Ironically against the same team as today , and on penalties, Liverpool also won the league that year and Leeds got promoted 

Hopefully an omen

Better hope he doesn't cross paths with Anthony Stokes any time soon.
