More heart-warming news from Motherwell, where Craig Brown received the Manager of the Month award, and confirmed that he and Archie Knox have extended their contract until the end of next season.
Brown is charm personified on accepting this award, where he takes time to credit various members of his backroom staff, and talks about the privelege of being an SPL manager. All good stuff.
But uh-oh, what's this? "We're going to work hard to make Motherwell the third force in Scottish football"?!
Craig, dear chap, we've heard this before. Last time, the club ended up in administration, after over-reaching itself trying to put up a challenge to the Old Firm.
Motherwell suffer more than many clubs from the long shadow created by the Old Firm to the North, and are continually frustrated in their attempts to get more local people to turn up to the ground, let alone make a wider impact on Scottish football.
We wish them all the best, but maybe a modest strategy of continuous improvement might be the way to go for now?
