Wimmer 'sorry to all the Motherwell fans' for shock exitpublished at 16:16 23 May

Michael Wimmer has apologised to Motherwell fans after making the "extremely hard" decision to leave after just 12 games in charge.
The German is returning to his homeland to join relegated SSV Jahn Regensburg, who will play in the third tier next season.
Motherwell say they "very reluctantly negotiated a compensation package" with the German side after Wimmer, 44, cited "major family issues" for his desire to accept the new role.
In a farewell statement, Wimmer said: "I want to thank the board and all the staff at the club for the way they welcomed me to Scotland and also supported me so much from when I arrived in February.
"They have done everything to support me and my family during my time here.
"This has been an ongoing, extremely difficult position that I have found myself in, and the club have done all they could to support me during these challenging times, both while I was in post and while I have been back in Germany.
"I am sorry to all the Motherwell fans; the support you have shown me has been outstanding, and I have loved learning about this wonderful club.
"This decision was an extremely hard one for me to make; however, I have decided to move back home, as I need to put my family first and be with them, and I want to thank the board for the understanding shown through these challenging times.
"I hope the club can continue to progress next season. I really enjoyed the time I spent in Scotland. There are great people at the club who are ambitious and want the best for the club going forward. I only wish everyone at Motherwell FC the very best for the future."
