What ar everyone's thoughts on Money coming back, cap in hand?

If MJ goes or as TD?

 

[Lexi]

MJ, he can't be happy with the club ownership debacle , or lack of. ...he may show an interest in coaching the Women. Any offer for Monty would be treble what we could offer him.

Monty rumoured to be on the shortlist for the Middlesbrough job.

Living in Middlesbrough is poison enough.

MARK JACKSON has emerged as a shock candidate for the Motherwell job.

SunSport can reveal the boss of A-League side Central Coast Mariners is among names being considered to succeed Michael Wimmer.

Leeds-born Jackson, a former defender who mainly played in England’s lower leagues, has spent the past three years Down Under after previously bossing MK Dons.

He has won an A-League Premiership and Championship as well as the Asian Champions League Two title.

In the 2023-24 season Jackson and the Mariners won a Double, emulating ex-Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou who achieved the feat with Brisbane Road in 2010-11.

Jackson took over from Nick Montgomery who had left to become manager of Hibs following the club's A-League Grand Final victory.

The 47-year-old honed his coaching talents working at Leeds United, where he came through the ranks as a player.

After starting out as the Elland Road club’s Under-15s boss he quickly moved his way up the ranks.

He had experience working under Marcelo Bielsa before being promoted to first team coach by successor Jesse Marsch.

Jackson was appointed MK Dons boss in December 2022 with the side sitting 22nd in League One but was sacked just six months later when they were relegated.

Well have been searching for a new manager since German Wimmer stunned the club by quitting last month after just 12 games in charge.

He claimed his reason for leaving was down to family matters before being appointed as boss of SSV Jahn Regensburg in his homeland.

The likes of Tony Docherty and Robbie Neilson have also been linked with the Fir Park vacancy.

On the matter of Docherty, we looked at how the now ex-Dundee manager ended up paying the price for his BRAVERY at Dens Park.

Doc was more courageous than any other Premiership manager last season when it came to giving young players a chance.

A study showed his Dundee side topped a table on minutes for under-21 players in the top flight.

Figures from CIES Observatory highlighted how he offered 24.8 per cent of the team’s available first-team minutes to players of that age and under.

Given the comments made by him at the end of the season and the subsequent radio silence from the club and everyone in the know, including the FRG, Jacko walking wouldn't be that much of a surprise. There's clearly something going on.

Ownership situation?.

 

[Corsair]

Ownership situation?.

That would be my guess. Not sure what standard process is but buying the club might include bringing your own manager in the case of QPR. Or it might be that the purchase has fallen through and Jacko can see the writing on the wall.

If the club was about to fold they wouldn't be putting holiday clinics on

 

[Corsair]

If the club was about to fold they wouldn't be putting holiday clinics on

I didn't say fold. He might not want to stick around with no budget for players and no hope of winning anything if the ownership situation isn't going to change.

 

[Spacks]

If the club was about to fold they wouldn't be putting holiday clinics on

It won't fold, it'll just be put on life support.

Can he take his star marquee Failao with him please?

But He is the perfect player for one touch football.

It just looks that way because he loses it after his first touch

That was the joke. But the written word can be hard to be sarcastic sometimes

Was told today by another contact that Josh Rose is also frustrated and unhappy. Allegedly heard this from Josh himself.

Sounds like Mike has tightened the pursestrings and we can't sign anyone... what a shock.

Allegedly mentioned they had signings lined up but then told no from Charlesworth and books closed.

Who knows. I am trying to remain optimistic and do believe there are people trying to keep the club alive but also would not be the slightest bit shocked if anybody / everybody walked, at this point.
