My my, this Motherwell lot seem awfully uppity. Can't you just enjoy your side's world-class first half performance and fade back in to irrelevance?
and you can go back to worrying about your relegation battle

How are we going to use Moult? (IF) Will he sit on the bench and get the last 20 minutes, will he play alongside KVV, will we wrap him in cotton wool till suspension and injury catch up with the big Dutchman?
I am sure the manager will know what to do, bugger all to do with us. I am also 100% positive that we will not sign anyone who is not fit enough to pass a medical. If there are any issues with his legs then I am sure someone with much better medical knowledge will let the club know.

I think his manager has ruled out any loan moves saying it would not make sense to loan to a rival team.

Just wait until McGinley rises salmon-like to bullet home the header that secures top six status this year.
No bother.
saw him after the game coming out the cooper hospitality along with Jake Carroll who was on the crutches after his op. McGinley certainly looks fit enough and no obvious injury, he had no trouble walking about. I wonder what his injury actually is?

I honestly loved watching that game tonight. We created lots of chances, lots of one touch football and free flowing stuff all over the park...ball was pinged about on the deck all over the place.
Efford probably had his best game for us on the right.
Tierney was unplayable and Goss was spraying great passes all over the park.
Defence were outstanding when called upon and mopped everything up. Even under pressure they didn't punt it up the park and played the ball on the deck out of bother. McGinn does a lot of good work at right back and I don't think O'Donnell will get that place back if McGinn continues to be so reliable
Tierney was a delight to watch always going forward and his passes were superb. Unlucky not to score near the end.
Goss was as comfortable as I have seen him and bossed the midfield along with Slattery who was breaking up play and at one point rode three challenges in midfield coming away with the ball.
Penney on left was comfortable as well and had a great run in 2nd half with a great pass that deserved a decent effort on goal. Aarons also just needed to sneeze on the ball from a ball played across the face of goal from Van Veen to get a goal with his first touch. Young Lennon Miller did not look out of place in the central midfield role when he came on and he is still only 16..!!

Anyone who watched us today should have the absolute fear.
There are massive problems all over the pitch and I'm already admitting my belief our squad underperforming is looking like utter nonsense. Three new players won't turn us into a solid side - they're needed to have us on the right side of the bottom two line.
A long, long season awaits and next week is a six-pointer already.
maybe so but that's got to have installed some confidence back into the players and the club. I think that's just as important as anything else that's needed in this squad.

Alexander saves your cheating club from relegation, wins you a spot in Europe and wins more points than any other club outside the Old Firm
And yet your disgraceful supporters hound him out?
Shameful
GIRFUY....!!! hopefully you get relegated. Well overdue. Still can't beat us even when we are at our lowest point. Always love beating your shitty mob

Just think of it as a pressure release after this week. It’s fun to throw daft names about for a bit, helps to offset the depression when we announce Terry Butcher.*
*kidding, it’ll be Ian Cathro.
Yeah I suppose but you know some daft journo is going to publish these names. For me its got to be someone with a good bit of experience that can hold a dressing room together. We have had two up ands coming managers in Robinson and Alexander. Hopefully the directors will find someone who won't take any shit from the players underperforming and can get them motivated. Not McGhee (shudder) or Campbell they are past it for me. Certainly not any ex-Well players.
I can't think of any with any success in management (only one who has we could not afford (Martinez) he would never return to the club who basically ditched him when we went into administration and is flying high with Belgium))

Dick Campbell, Robinson, Craigan, Faddy?...yer all on crack or fishing. The only explanation for any of these suggestions. The players are in enough trouble trying to string short passes to each other without fans spouting pish like this as new managers.

Big Dunc?
bit left field but he is highly rated and done well in his few caretaker roles. I would still prefer an experienced manager at this level rather than another Rookie or god forbid an ex-well rookie manager

Is it a big NO to James McFadden then?
100% NO. Can we have an experienced manager please. Someone who has been around the block a few times and no ex-Well players

Don't know anything about compo or agreements. All I know is he is done and won't manage the club again.
And no idea who is going to be in charge for Sunday eitherYeah that's a point. Who has the experience to take the first team game on sunday who is still here? I would expect the assistant manager will go with GA

ITK sources have told me it is done. Alexander is out. Will be confirmed either tonight or tomorrow.
No idea why there is a delay.
Compo package still to be agreed?

If the manager continues to put the players out and play in a fashion where they seem to have no clue what they are doing I can see cricket scores when we play the Old Firm, potential record goals against.
I dread to think what that defence would look like without Lamie already this season. I lost count of the amount of times he had to come out and cover for Carroll it was criminal the amount of space he leaves in behind. He makes absolutely no attempt to fill back in quickly and saunters back to his position. I really hope he is binned asap.
Mugabi seems to have a confidence issue just now but he can do some half decent defending as long as he has someone covering in behind due to his inherent lapses (which was something that Lamie was prone for but seems mostly to have cut out his game). I would love Max Johnstone to play at right back he has pace to burn up and down that flank and can tackle. The guy never put a foot wrong in the Thistle game and has since been dumped in favour of McGinn who everyone can see is struggling for pace. Sol and Ojala now appear no more than squad players.
I never bought into the Maguire hype (two footed player my arse) and think he really struggled. Then again what is his role?..ball winning midfielder taking over the mantle of Allan Campbell or is that Slattery role who seems to have went backwards in his ability from what I can see so far. Can Cornelius do it? ( I don't buy into all this 'he is one' of us patter) another one like Tierney who badly needs work in the gym as they both continually lose those battles in midfield against stronger players to which at least Maguire can match. I have no idea what Goss and Spittall roles are in midfield? I think some of the guys on here with a lot better analysis can update me. As for Morris I will give him the benefit of the doubt just now until he settles but he needs to realise he cant spend all day on the ball and his thinking has to be a lot quicker as he was badly found out dithering in every game so far.
Fitness levels appear to be absolutely woeful with players fading badly at times.
We are screaming out for a leader on that park as not one player is stepping up so far and this was glaring last season as well. The players appear to lack confidence in the style of play and tactics however anyone who questions the law according to GA appears to be side-lined quickly (Slattery/O'Donnell?) quelling any dissent or just up and leaving (Watt, Woolery).
Up front we have Van Veen, badly lacks fitness and appears to be carrying an injury of some sort or is just badly lacking match sharpness. I don't think we can rely on him solely for goals this season. Efford and Shields dont chip in anywhere near enough goals wise and don't appear to be a threat to any defences. Mahon hasnt seen a minute run out yet and I have no idea what he can bring to the squad.
When pundits (Craigan) start openly criticising the manager, his choice of signings and his tactics which all seem eye bleedingly obvious for a long time on live TV surely someone at Director level has to be asking questions. GA can't bench the directors.
The directors need to keep a weather eye on the fans because if they start protesting and staying away from games then that essential money they bring into the club dries up and I have yet to see many manager's survive when the fans protests start.
Can we also have anyone but the manager do the pre and post game interviews as I feel completely deflated after listening to his absolutely awful commentary. Thank god I am at least spared his team talks as he seems to demotivate everyone around him.

As I understand it from what I was told by a WS board member back start of the year there's flexibility built into the extension Alexander and Lucketti got that leaves the club options.
Well I hope that's in the contract and legally binding. I would be surprised that anyone never mind GA would sign a contract that would not be in his favour rather than the clubs

Usually a 12 month pay off - to be honest that is just an assumption
a wrong assumption, you would need to clear his contract or the contract is worth nothing legally. These are all wishful thinking

Just now, Allroy for Prez said:
Surely we don’t have to pay out the remainder of the contract in full? If we haven’t inserted some sort of get out in there then we’re in an even worse state than I feared.
of course you would need to pay off his contract. No manager would accept a contract that has a clause that they would be worse off via a get out clause by any club, dreamland stuff

A new manager with nothing can’t do any worse. There’s no chance of him going of his own accord.That may be so but to pay off GA and his backroom team will be in excess of half a million. Now cost in the wages of a new manager and his new team and the requirement for new players? Where are we going to get that type of cash?. I am wholeheartedly wanting rid but someone has to have a cool head and think what that would cost the club in the short term. Getting relegated would be a disaster and a possibility on this form which is continuing from last season, its a huge decision for the directors.

I don’t see any logical reason why he wouldn’t sack him and I think, after the nature of the performances, burrows will make the right call.
If the club have gotten themselves into a position where sacking the manager isn’t financially viable then GA isn’t the only one who needs to go.He has a contract until 2025 and I assume so does most of his backroom team....Very expensive pay off for the club that will leave nothing for a new manager to work with
