Selll JT for 4 Million amd give JBA 1 million

I was thinking more along the lines of letting him choose any player to sell and keeping 100% of the profit for himself.

If he does leave, I hope it's Toulouse, as it would be nice trip to go and watch his new team play.

I had thought Malpas would have learned a lot from his time at Dundee Utd, but apparently not.

I think he suffered from being good at something but unable to make others good at the same thing syndrome, Dunfermline away has to be one of the lowest points of the last thirty years anyway

And if Max goes with Jens?

 

I hope we ask John McGlynn if he fancies it. Falkirk play some good football and I assume we'll be in a better place financially than them while having one of the best academies in the country. Outside him nobody in Scotland really interests me. Hibs fans seem to be desperate to get rid of David Gray I wouldn't mind him rocking up here if he gets mutualled and Simo is an option in but I expect we would look abroad again.

The club are currently only negotiating with Toulouse to allow them to speak to Jens.

Always the chance he hears something that sets off alarm bells and decides its not for him.

However, if and when he does leave, I 100% expect our next manager to be from outside Scotland.

As others have said, lots of countries have numerous teams / managers / coaches that play the way we do now.

Id also proffer that Jans would have some input into who might be a suitable replacement.

Wow..that was quick.. i feel gutted now.. All i can say  if signed and sealed, is thanks Jens for the best football ive witnessed in all my years supporting the Well. All the best to you and your family and your new life in France.

I suspect the Board and the Manager knew aobut the interst much sooner, but kept it quiet. Deals like this can be quite complicated, so likely some behind the scenes negotiations have been taking place.

I wasn't sure when he'd leave, but was always 100% sure it would not be for a Scottish club.

I'm actually OK with it happening this quickly, as it will allow us to bring in the new man for a full summer of preparation.

Much better than losing him in late July or early August.

I had heard it was a done deal when the news of the Toulouse interest was broken but Motherwell wanted to publicly deny it so as not to derail the last game of the season

Certainly makes sense.

Looking back at the video of his speech in the dressing room after the Hibs game, i sort of sensed he was saying goodbye himself..or does that sound daft

Sounded like he was staying, then going, then staying....

His body language at the final whistle suggested it was goodbye.

That'll be Welsh sorted for an escape to the sun. Question is, how many of our guys decide it was good while it lasted, and follow Jens out the door?

The ones under contract can think what they like.

I"d also be amazed if they didn't expect Jens to leave.

I'm sure they knew. Jens staying for another season was always likely to be our best chance of holding onto a few of our most saleable assets this summer, and when footballers get to thinking they'd like to take up attractive offers, contracts won't stop them.

Contracts will literally stop them. 

Of course we can choose to sell them.
