well fan for life

Mind we were about to appoint Mark McGhee (not that one) as chief exec and it fell through at the last minute: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/mark-mcghee-set-motherwell-chief-29665510 I think Burrows was doing more than what was in his job description so we aren't going to get a like for like replacement. I can only assume that the package we have put together is not good enough for what the job entails. Someone else mentioned it earlier I think but it probably is going to end up being someone who is wanting their first CEO job in football because we're clearly not going to get anyone with experience. As far as the comms/media folk, they're keeping things coming out of the club but they don't have anyone giving them direction as to what their output should be. Which probably explains why it kind of makes no sense. But at least we negotiated with a high school to work around their PE timetable.

There's wee dickheads in every support. It's a big massive riddy seeing them walking about pretending they are hard men.

FWIW I would be very disappointed if we appoint the youth academy guy again because surely that's a post that someone should be in for a number of years in order to yield results.

David Clarkson. Only because he's the current youth academy guy and that's about as far as any of our searches for a new manager go.

I'm not even sure there will be tbh. It's a weird apathetic atmosphere round Fir Park right now. Compare going 1-0 on Saturday to losing to Sligo/Raith Rovers or McGhee getting pummelled for a month solid before he got hunted and it's very different.

The January deadline day smash & grab is always a good laugh. Will they be good (Marvin Johnson), bad (Riku Danzaki) or imaginary (Eddie Nolan)? As far as this fixture goes we'll concede at least one complete howler as our Scotland International goal keeper continues to play like he's been on the hallucinogens in the changing room and our defence are leaking like a fucked fridge. And we'll throw 6 forwards on at some point.

In fairness he managed a shot on target and an assist. Which is more than just about anyone else achieved in an attacking sense.

Regardless of how Alexander era actually panned out, that article is still hilarious reading.

I mean I'd argue going in to administration and nearly going bust was slightly worse but I agree with the general point here.

It is a bit different because clearly folk are still trying for him as opposed to Hammell. I thought we actually were ok up against a poor St Johnstone side but, for the umpteenth time this season, Liam Kelly has cost us massively. There's no excuse for not dropping him. Captain, highest paid player or whatever he is I don't care. The guy is a bombscare.

Me expecting our club to do anything sensible:

That's chronically fucking awful from our Scotland international. Get him so far to f**k.

You're all saying we've no scope for changes but you're all forgetting that Bevis is going up front.

Same but for the chasni pie.

I don't think we'd be any better either. However if someone calls for Maguire to return to fill the gap in midfield my head will fall off.

There's always a ratio of useful:dud. It's just the current squad is about 90% duds.

I've gone through acceptance and am now treating all of this as a great big laugh tbh.

Slattery drawing the short straw getting this presser. Take it he turned up late for training or something.

Going by what Kettlewell's just said in that presser there's no chance Kelly's getting dropped. As for the rest of the team, f**k knows.

A completely hopeless Motherwell up against St Johnstone coming off the back of a good result midweek. When we inevitably concede from a set piece early on this is going to be a hilariously toxic home support.

I'd argue that the most static person in that move is the idiot we're employing between the sticks.

It's nice passing but it's also absolutely terrible from us. Blaney's a lost boy and it leaves Wilkinson (a forward who has never played in midfield until now) as somehow being the last defender to attempt to shut it down. Fucking hell I hate this team.

SOD at centre back has disaster written all over it however this is what I reckon we'll end up with.

I mean we all knew this was the case already but it's still depressing to see it written down.
