On Twitter or X whatever it's called. Derek Adams has left Morecambe as has new position lined up???

No 

[wunderwell]

Derek Adams - the Donald Trump of Scottish Fitba, 

Couldn't even sort a wall.

[mfc]

I can't see any teams up here wanting adams after his outburst before he left county and that's not taking into account that he's a shite manager to start with.

Scott Brown, Robbie Neilson  Fleetwood Mac and Derek Adams ffs, we really need a genuine potential candidate to discuss before this thread gets any worse.

There isn't going to be a genuine potential candidate. Motherwell won't give any hints until the candidate is announced. It's all going to be speculation

One rumour I did hear recently is our chairman has been in Albania speaking to a potential candidate 

No idea if it is true or not but if so maybe explains the silence about the next guy 

Let's start a wild rumour and say that it's Rudi Vata being interviewed. See what happens.

I don't think Brown will be our manager - but it honestly wouldn't bother me if he was appointed. All that matters is that the person appointed can do the job. Like - we had Terry Butcher ex Rangers player and he did OK. What the media think doesn't bother me 

Absolutely 100 percent

I would prefer any manager who has no history to either of the Glasgow clubs . But fully would be supportive to any who have as we never know what could happen

Terry Butcher was one of my favourites and I have said it before.  For anyone with any doubt he took on the role when we were at our lowest.  After the 2002-2003 season when we should have been relegated he done great for us

The one time I remember when fans were all getting behind us, was like an Us vs the rest of Scottish football mentality at that time

My mum used to teach at Knowetop primary and there were kids that couldn't afford to go on a residential week.

One of her kids who didn't go did a project on Motherwell and sent it to Butcher and he wrote the kid a really nice letter back. My mum was really touched by that. In fact I'm sure he offered the kids who couldn't go an opportunity to meet the players. 

Like. I'm Motherwell to my bones but if it were someone connected to the old firm it wouldn't bother me

We’ve had a fair number of managers who were with the OF:

Roger Hynd      
Davie Hay    
Jock Wallace  
Bobby Watson
Tommy McLean        
Terry Butcher    
Stuart McCall.  
Alex McLeish  
Billy Davies

The only one I had no time for was Jock Wallace who IMO was an ignoramus.

MJC has a feeling we are talking to rudi vata.

Alex McLeish  

Certainly born in Glasgow, but don't think he had any OF connection until after he left us?

[wellfan]

With the players due back for preseason in a week, I expect we’ll get some sort of announcement soon.

[mio]

I heard a rumour last night that Neilson is the guy. I’d normally take this with a pinch of salt but it’s a hearts connection who told me 3 weeks before Halliday joined us that he was coming.

i sincerely hope not and he’s at the wind up but I am a tad worried.

[weeyin]

I'd be OK with Neilson. He has a decent track record in the Premiership, he has experience developing youngsters with Hearts, and he likes to play attacking football.

(And as an ex-full back, might know how to organise a defence).

Also Craig Brown and Mark McGhee.

Agree about Wallace. Quite the contrast to Davie Hay from the previous season.

I don't really remember him being big on bringing through youth players at Hearts, or even Dundee Utd. Was it not his Hearts team that was full of old guys like Naismith, Lafferty, Michael Smith etc?

He was hunted from Hearts twice for playing depressing football.

Apart from that we completely agree.

 

Going from Wimmer to Neilson would suggest to me we don't really know what it is we want.

Two very different styles of management, wimmer was around at the right time when we needed someone in, we might not be so lucky this time and as such have to settle for the best of the applicants who actually want the job.

Which might not be who we would like to apply.

[fizoxy]

What is Neilsons style? I don't pay much attention to the other teams. Does he have a preferred formation?

Also, did he not leave hearts for a job down south the first time around?

Funnily enough Im reading Tommy McLeans autobiography right now and it's spooky that a lot of stuff he talks about is even more relevant these days like the lack of young talent being given a chance for example.

Dull and boring seems to be his style. He left for MK Dons first time round but the fans were already heavily on his back - they flew a plane over Tynecastle wanting him out.

2nd time round was much the same and he was eventually hounded out again.

I forgot about the plane, that made me laugh there until i realised he might be our next manager. On our budget I’m guessing we’d use a kids drone

Agree with you on Wallace.

[David]

It really depends on what the club wants. 

If it wants pragmatic solidity, clear structure, and safety-first organisation that grinds results, Neilson is your man.

If they prefer high-intensity pressing, rapid transitions, attacking fluidity, and a knack for developing youth talent, someone like Wimmer offers a more modern, progressive style.
