I'd have had the same feeling no matter who we appointed. Good luck to him and at least he is not one of the Scottish Football Merry go rounders or media "jobs for the boys" . That for me is a bonus right away. Of course and I will give him my full support, certainly to start with. However I just get a bad feeling about this appointment. Managed/coached ten clubs and he’s only 42 and has no track record of hanging about anywhere for any length of time. Not what we need imo and it looks like we have went ‘left field’ for the sake of going ‘left field’. I would have been much happier with a Robbie Neilson or Tony Doc type appointment.

If I wanted a good time I’d join the Tartan army I feel for you if that’s the case. I ultimately go to enjoy myself and be with family and friends etc a good performance or result is the icing on the cake. I hope the new manager gives you some joy this season, I sincerely do.

Bud, I wouldn't have minded neilson but I trust the process and it's an innovative appointment again. Your " feelings/ predictions " are invariably wrong but doesn't stop you giving them , so keep doing it , it's a forum. If uou don't enjoy the football, you shouldn't go, just give the club your money, that's still supporting them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistandshout1983 Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago I am fully behind the new manager No idea who he was really , he played for Norwich under Paul Lambert so must have at least a bit of a knowledge of UK football We have not been a great watch really for at least 4-5 years now with the exception of KVV scoring goals for fun in those last 3 months, and Theo Bair's half season . I heard someone suggest few days ago we should have appointed either Craig Levein or Mark McGhee , the second guy got a second chance and we seen what happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't call it slow, passive, but the Spanish Tiki-Taka is much slower and less direct most of the time and was all the rage for a while. Then you have the counter attacking style that was (and still is) popular with many coaches. Again, not aggressive or front foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago The known options were very uninspiring, some maybe even scary!! I’m glad we are taking a chance on an unknown quantity. Not sure if it makes any difference to our chances of success or failure but at least it’s an unknown. With the ususual crowd I think the odds were more in favor of failure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago Any time any team in Scotland takes the opportunity to break the "good honest team" mould, I'm all for it. Whether it's Laszlo at Hearts, Ange at Celtic or ourselves with Wimmer. It doesn't always work out, but it's worth the risk to bring some new ideas into a too-often stale league.

I do enjoy going because it’s a life long passion following Motherwell FC. I know however that I’m not always going to ‘enjoy’ the game because that’s just the way it is and always will be for a club of our stature, but I go regardless and wouldn’t miss it, even though it often has me tearing my hair out. So I’m afraid Motherwell FC are stuck with me. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
