Motherwell Sack Manager

[Bill Hamilton]

BREAKING: Motherwell part company with manager Ian Baraclough.

[chomp my root]

Not a massive shock really.

Knee-jerk reaction to a cup defeat. He led them to safety last season after their shocking start under McCall. They're currently above United and four points off top six. Hardly a disastrous position for a club like Motherwell.

Have to agree. Thought he would have been given a bit longer after guiding them to safety, especially considering they showed decent form at the end of last season.

I wonder who they have lined up to take over?

[JoeCovenant]

Who won the sweepie???

[Bloomogg]

The Board of Directors would like to sincerely thank Ian for his great efforts last season and keeping the club in the SPFL Premiership for this very important season in the Club history, with the 130th anniversary and the 25th anniversary of the 1991 Scottish Cup celebrated at the end of the season.

The Board will immediately commence the search for a new manager.

In the interim, current Under 20s boss Stephen Craigan, along with Stephen Robinson and Jim Hollman, will handle first-team affairs.

Are Motherwell suggesting that they are rushing to judge their manager because it's an anniversary season?

Since when is 130 years a celebration anyway?

They've lost to a team which is fifth in the Championship, having lost one out of ten games. Losing there after extra time could happen to any team.

Pathetic decision from Well. Hope they go down now.

[Derry Drummer]

Bad move. Hope they go down.
