Certainly not buying the Youngy love-in. Fair play to him, he seems a decent sort and clearly has Motherwell at heart but FFS, should the Head of Youth Development really be found to be so far out his depth? Wish him all the best in returning to his day job.

Ach, good few teams would have taken 3 points there tonight. At least we didn't get humped. Over to McCall & Craig now...

Is there a gripe with Sutton? Can't fathom his lack of game time.

You reckon McCall would have been in the dressing room at half time?

C'mon Motherwell. This is more like it. In about them!

How many players threw the towel in because they didn't like Gannon? How many players have took their foot off the gas in the absence of a manager? How many big games have we won over the last 5 years? Brown may have brought us consistency and organisation but there are still a few issues to address.

The lack of character in our team has troubled me for a while. Here's hoping McCall has a bit of a clearout.

Pity he didn't speak to Gordon Young before going on air then...

If you can watch a Motherwell team managed by Butcher or coached by Knox I don't really get the issue with the Rangers connection. As for being 3rd choice. Celtic, Killie, Hibs & St Mirren have all failed to get their first choice in the past 6 months or so.

I'm sure Robyn mentioned on here weeks ago that Tommy Craig had expressed an interest.

Any links? Sounds like Young will change the shape of the team. Woohoo...

He's not playing tonight.

Imagine Durie and Dave Roberston will be mentioned as possible assistants. Ideally it will be someone with a bit more experience though. As long as it isn't Leitch mind you, I'll be fairly content. All the best Stuart.

Wonder if Darren Ferguson woul have been on the radar if his sacking had came a day or so earlier.

I hope not. Similar characters I imagine. Ironically, McCall would probably have worked well with Knox as his number 2. Judging by the snippets I've read on the Bradford messageboard, he could really do with some experience alongside him.

And like Butcher, with the exception of the CIS Cup final, he might have the balls to have a right good go at Celtic and Rangers...

My team would be along the lines of: ...................Randolph Hateley Saunders Craigan Hammell ...................Reynolds ...........Lasley........Fitzpatrick .......Murphy Sutton Blackman No point of sitting back entirely against Celtic as the centre of the defence is their obvious weakness. In particular they struggle to cope with a physical presence so Sutton has to play. Little chance of us going with Reynolds in midfield but we do need a 3 man midfield in order to try and prevent Celtic controlling the game.

Agreed, and you just need to look at the rest of the SPL. if Lennon and McCoist are good enough for the Old Firm then what can we really hope for.

As I said a lot earlier in this thread, the likes of Lambert didn't get off to the best of his starts in his managerial career but look at him now. Let's hope McCall has learned from his mistakes at Bradford. Would be interesting to hear the views of the Bradford fans. hopefully he is tactically aware. One thing for certain is that he would inject some passion and belief into the club. Despite playing for Rangers, I loved him as a player.

I'd take McCall. Far from convinced but worth a shot.

For those that would take Jimmy Calderwood, bear in mind that Sandy Clark would more than likely be his number 2. Jimmy Nicholl is at Cowdenbeath these days.

Plan B will be Tommy McLean or Jimmy Calderwood to the end of the season.

I believe he can walk away for buttons.

Young doesn't have a clue about tactics.

We seem to be searching too far to the left at the moment. I'm not sure how much we can read into the fact that there were 40 applicants. Many would just be supplying their CV before having a serious look at the job. I still can't fathom why someone like Derek Adams hasn't been approached.
