Here we go again…
Big boots to fill but can’t think of a time when Motherwell - and Scottish football in general - has been as inviting a proposition.
Everything there for next manager to succeed. Words on that and more. https://t.co/hA1sHxhzQJ
Inevitable interest in Jens Berthel Askou has been firmed up by Toulouse. The Ligue 1 club have made an official approach to Motherwell. Nothing agreed as yet. https://t.co/hA1sHxhzQJ
Fadinger, Just, Longelo, Maswanhise and Watt now all essentially on contracts running until 2028 when you factor in one-year club trigger options. Would imagine it will take big 💰 to get any of them out of Motherwell this summer.

✍️ Signing a contract extension
Lukas Fadinger has penned a 12-month contract extension that will see him remain at the club until the summer of 2028.
Callum Slattery will leave the club this summer, bringing the curtain down on a five-year stay at Fir Park.
Thanks for all the memories Callum and you leave with nothing but the best wishes of everyone at the football club 🧡
Bert Askou’s Motherwell: new club clean-sheet record, fourth-highest points tally in three-points-for-win era, fewest league defeats in top-flight season since 1959, and fewest goals conceded in top-flight season since 1932. All while playing the best fitba their fans have seen.
There’s obviously a much bigger prize on offer for Hearts, but don’t think enough has been made of a non-Old Firm team hitting 80 points given Scottish football’s current financial climate. A ridiculous feat in itself, never mind what they can actually achieve tomorrow.
Probably the most surreal season I’ve had following Motherwell - and Scottish football in general. So it was nice to find out more about the guy partly responsible for that. https://t.co/epPBk56JVr
The great wait is over.
An epic new documentary film from BAFTA and Oscar-nominated writer, producer and director Steven Knight, directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, will tell the story of the Oasis reunion the world was waiting for. Featuring unprecedented on stage and backstage footage from the Gallagher brother's sell-out global stadium tour.
Coming to IMAX and cinemas worldwide on September 11 and streaming globally later this year on Disney+ internationally and on Hulu and Disney+ in the U.S.
Given the goal difference, Hibs now effectively need to take seven points from Falkirk away, Rangers away and Motherwell at home, coupled with Motherwell picking up nothing from their final three games, to finish fourth.
That settles it. Jens Berthel Askou is not cut out to be a Celtic manager. They’d be much better off going for someone astute and that knows how to win big games. Like John McGlynn.
Days like today are for celebrating that the Old Firm and the tit-for-tat tinpottery that comes with it is less of a story than it was eight months ago.
