Wonder what odds you would get on Derek Adams being their new boss?

Managers and those 'between jobs' - like Stuart McCall himself, attend games all time. Half the managers in the Premiership were at our match last night.

I seen today that Derek Adams is out of the running for the Motherwell job - not surprised after that slamming off the Dutch boys he signed.

Derek Adams will be lucky if he gets a job as Santa Clause this Christmas

Sneckboy--yes I noticed that about the  many managers at our game. Eyeing up our boys eh? Smile

In a way it's encouraging and complimentary. Hope they went away nervous after watching that display.

 

I wonder if the Partick manager was also there? This one makes me a wee bittie nervous. They have beaten us in the past when it was assumed that we had a more than reasonable chance of winning and  Firhill will be full of screaming Glaswegians.

They can keep him !!!!!!!

So basically there's no substance to this other than a lot of people have bet on Butcher going back to Motherwell? Okay then.

According to Sunday Times 6 are being interviewed including Butcher, Shiels, Kenny Black and Rob Maaskaant (Dutchman, who was at their game yesterday).

As well as the 4 above names, another Dutchman and former 'well player Mitchell van der Gaag is being strongly linked in the papers today.

I think the other candidate is Norberto Solano from Peru, who (unless he's lieing!) admits he's been interviewed. There will probably be an announcement this week.

 

I wouldn't normally be too 'bothered' about who Motherwell appoint as their manager - but the Butcher link intrigues me! Surely their board haven't got such short memories!

The manner of his leaving ICT followed by the cataclysmic series of results that followed! My gut instinct at the time of his 'dismissal' from Hibs was that he was finished as a manager - certainly in Scotland!

There must be a lot of money going on Terry though as the bookies have him as 1/2 favourite. We shall see.

Scottish football needs a strong Terry Butcher.

As long as they don't appoint Dutch legend Ruud Boogers as their Head of Public Relations they should be OK.

 Why Chas?............ Does he get up your nose?

I may be one of very few but I think Terry could do a decent enough job with Motherwell. We all know how it ended at Hibs but in truth they were a sinking ship before he joined but Terry made it worse.

If they get taken over before the January window and terry has money to build a team, they should do alright. Probably a safer option than Shiels.

Isn't Terry still getting paid by Hibs? IIRC they relieved him of his duties but never terminated his employment.  If that is still the case, it wouldn't stop him getting the job if Well think he's the man, but Terry won't be getting much out of it financially, he'll just be having to actually do some work for his pay!

I believe that is the case but Terry may not look at it from a financial point of view just now - might want back in employment etc.

Terry without Mo?

We've seen how that works out eh.

Maybe he will go to St Mirren now that Tommy Craig has been sacked ..... either way he would look likely to keep his relegation record intact ... although he would be hard pressed to do it as spectacularly as he did in Edinburgh. 

Presumably St Mirren will get the very same 58 applicants as Motherwell!

Butcher to relegated Motherwell and Kenny to st mirren

Adams as Santa, I've heard of Secret Santa but a Seething Santa's a 1st

Apparently he has given Motherwell his reasons, could they be anything to do with the last sentence here ?

Motherwell? Don't you mean "missionery".

Do you think he was offered the job but insisted he had Maurice Malpas as assistant, but was refused, so withdrew his candidature? Or could there have been issues around his current 'gardening leave' at Hibs?

or as alluded above, St Mirren might be more appealing to him or he is waiting for the job at Ibrox?
