Brown may stay for a Well long time
Motherwell confirmed Brown and assistant Archie Knox had agreed to take on their management role on a permanent basis, initially until the end of the season, less than an hour before their 0-0 draw with Falkirk.[LNB]And the 69-year-old could extend his stay further yet.[LNB]"The chairman has asked Archie and myself to continue in the job," said Brown, who took over as interim manager four weeks ago.[LNB]"We'll talk about the duration but certainly at least until the end of the season and hopefully, possibly, beyond. I think that will depend on results.[LNB]"The chairman was talking in those terms so we're pleased to hear that, and it will be okay for us to continue, we think.[LNB]"We are happy to accept the job and we'll do our best for Motherwell. There is a bit of work to be done but we have the nucleus of a good resource in terms of players. We enjoy working with the lads."[LNB]Well kept their unbeaten SPL record under Brown despite seeing midfielder Giles Coke sent off in first-half injury time for a foul on Scott Arfield.[LNB]Brown agreed with the decision but was happy with his side's work-rate after the dismissal.[LNB]The former Scotland boss said: "I don't think anyone would deny we deserved at least a point from the game and the lads were saying there was a penalty when (John) Sutton was barged off the ball."[LNB]Falkirk boss Eddie May, who lost Pedro Pele to an Achilles injury early in the game, did not think the red card was a huge help to his team.[LNB]"They just lost a centre-forward, they still had two banks of four," May said.[LNB]"You have to try and use your man but unfortunately our pitch is not great and not really for passing.[LNB]"So I don't think we got much advantage. You can't really have a touch going forward, because if you do it's usually at your knee.[LNB]"People will say you should really beat 10 men. I was at Ibrox on Saturday and Hearts went down to 10 men and scored a minute later. It's not easy playing against 10 men.[LNB]"I don't think they caused us any problems, even when they had 11 men."[LNB][LNB]
