'One more year of Askou' - your thoughts on Toulouse approach

Yahoo Sports

Motherwell fans, we asked for your views on French Ligue 1 side Toulouse's approach for manager Jens Berthel Askou. Stu: It would have been good to get a couple of seasons from Jens to see what he could do but if bigger jobs come along you can't blame him for advancing his career. If this move happens I wish him all the best and a huge thanks for the football he brought to Motherwell this season.

[BBC] Motherwell fans, we asked for your views on French Ligue 1 side Toulouse's approach for manager Jens Berthel Askou. Here's what some of you had to say: Stu: It would have been good to get a couple of seasons from Jens to see what he could do but if bigger jobs come along you can't blame him for advancing his career. Ultimately we attract players and managers of this calibre by giving them a platform to perform, with the knowledge if they are successful this will happen.

If this move happens I wish him all the best and a huge thanks for the football he brought to Motherwell this season. John: I would like him to stay for European football next season. I will be gutted if he does go, I'll just be glad he's not going to Celtic.

Andrew: I'd love to see him have a go at Europe with his brand of football but it is obvious that clubs with bigger budgets will be interested. One more year Jens, please? Make a success of it and you can pick your job anywhere in Europe.

Roberto Martinez for a heroic return to Fir Park anyone? David: I think Jens should stay one more season to see how far he can take this side domestically and in Europe. Moving to a bigger club is always a risk as their expectations are invariably higher, so staying one more season at Motherwell could be the best thing he does.
