star sail Posted Monday at 01:44 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 01:44 PM Would love to see MVG as next manager. It just seems like something that has to happen once. I think he would bring a similar vibe and presence as JBA and I prefer using first letter name abbreviations rather than Kettlewell, Alexander, Robinson, McGhee etc. It feels so much more continental. I don't think he would have seriously considered it a year ago but Jens has made the club a much more enticing proposition now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllyMax Posted Monday at 02:27 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 02:27 PM I'd put money on 4 of these not being on any list at Motherwell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valakari and Van Der Gaag along with Jimmy Thelin and John McGlynn. The other guy is Henrik Jensen the Burnley assistant . Apparently a clone of Jens Berthel Askou That's one lazy as fuck list, just pulled out of their area, as expected from them. Then they type in, "who should continue the lineage of Jens, and chuck in the first Jensen they can find. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Stall Posted Monday at 03:46 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 03:46 PM As we know, most of these media or bookies lists are nonsense. Scramble together some names that are out of a job, even better if we can push for someone friendly to the paper in question. Given our recent appointments & the chairmans statement last week, it doesnt look like we will be changing course. The idea that fir park insiders would spill beans to bad journos is laughable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Micheal Van Gerwin not know more about darts than football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted 15 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 15 hours ago Well, the directors can't be far away from making a decision. Recently, its taken us about 3 weeks to make an appointment. When JBA left last week, unlike last year when Michael Wimmer resigned suddenly, we were told that the recruitment process was well underway. Given that it seems the board knew about his likely departure some weeks previously, we surely can't be far off an announcement. These days, the Board is being far more professional about managerial appointments with no leaks, premature or otherwise. Evidence of that is the lack of even remotely credible media articles, if indeed they interested at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago It certainly seems that the board were well aware that Jens was away long before it happened, so I would agree a 3 week process from that point seems reasonable, albeit potential candidates may still be in employment up until the end of the month. Would certainly expect an announcement early June so we can get some the recruitment signed off before the players come back on June 19th. Be nice to know and be able to relax before I bugger off to the World Cup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postiejim Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Why would John McGlynn leave Falkirk and join Motherwell. They’re arguably as big a club if not bigger than we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'd come, and I don't really want him to come, but I think you'd lose the "bigger than us" argument for the 2026 versions of both our clubs. What would bring him to Fir Park could be more money, a crack at Europe and a squad that doesn't depend on 5 or 6 loan players every season. (and a stadium with 4 sides ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Falkirk aren't bigger than us. Time at the top level means something. McGlynn would be daft to move from that gig unless he gets a significant pay raise. My guess is he will end up at Dundee Utd in September when Goodwin has a bad start to the season.

joewarkfanclub Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago No chance Falkirk are bigger than us. Similar sized club and support. But our history in the top flight and European football edges it in our favour. No way McGlynn moves here though. He is onto a sure thing at Falkirk. We cant pay him significantly more to risk that. Neither should we. Stick to the plan! 🧡❤️🧡 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we want him in the 1st place, weve been down the scottish manager route, and decided we want something better to move the club forward, oh and for me hes not that good a manager. A few good seasons and got a top 6 finish this year but after the season weve had can you really see the board appointing him, no feckin chance.

He's done a great job with Falkirk, but the our new manager has to be hired with a view to progressing even further next season and I don't see McGlynn fitting that role. We might be mince next season, of course, but we should aspire to being even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
