Motherwell looking for new boss

[DALNEIGHCALEY]

Would they be stupid enough to take Butcher and Malpas ?

Hope springs eternal!

They'd have to compensate ICT if they want them now.

It's an interesting scenario though, and a get out opperchancity for both parties.

[dead_ball_specialist]

There's more chance of them going for Derek Adams.

[AJS]

I wonder what effect it will have on their players given we play them in a fortnight.

I think that's a damn good shot tbh

A boost I would imagine as they could well be playing there first game under there new manager

[DornochJAGGIE]

Jocky Scott might be on the short list

[RiG]

Jimmy Calderwood to return to management with Well maybe?

[Guest Mahonio]

I think Luc Nijholt will get it but Butcher and Mo may well be on shortlist

Nijholt has been turned down for the job in the past but in this game you never know .

Butcher, Hayes and Rooney to go to Motherwell?????

Could be on as rumours are rife with all 3 going anyway.......

[starchief]

Bit of a strange sacking that. No doubt we'll hear Gannon's story in time. Calderwood would be a good signing but I wonder if the two Jimmies might sit it out for an English or Dutch club?

Butcher, Hayes and Rooney to go to Motherwell?????

The first third of that is ridicoulous.

Actually reakon Jimmy Calderwood will be making his way back into management now.

Cant see him going to motherwell but i could see him going to dundee utd

[12th Man]

Going by his post match interview, he knew he was out the door if they lost.

In the meantime no point speculating about losing our management/players.

[AJS]

Well fans are apparently keen on the idea of getting Butcher back.

Some other fans are apparently keen on the idea of Well getting Butcher back too.

Odds from McBookie on Gannon's successor....

2/1 Jimmy Calderwood, 3/1 George Burley, 4/1 Chris McCart, 4/1 Gary McAllister, 6/1 Scott Leitch, 8/1 John Collins, 8/1 Luc Nijholt. 9/1 Lawrie Sanchez 10/1 Bobby Williamson 12/1 Derek Adams, 12/1 Terry Butcher 14/1 Allan Moore, Danny Lennon 20/1 Darren Ferguson

I reckon Calderwood and Nichol will get the nod and I would also predict that Motherwell will finish the season higher in the SPL than the Dons.

[CaleyD]

Given the bookmakers history with these things then you can probably discount the top 4 or 5 from the list

[WYNESS101]

Quite a few Well fans wanting Derek Adams

[Guest Mahonio]

Well we can stop speculating for a while because on BBC Sport it says that Craig Brown is to take temporary charge and Archie Knox as his number 2 pending talks with the board tomorrow.

They also said that Calderwood and John Robertson were the early candidates shortly after JGs axing with no mention of Butch but i say we will see what his dedication to this club is like if they did approach him later on.

Dangerous line to get such a couple of novices in. Seriously, though, that's one intelligent backroom staff.

[DornochCaley]

Calderwood and Collins will be the front two for both DU and Motherwell jobs.
