I'm sure this isn't the first time we haven't got our first or even second choice candidate. These things happen all the time, they just aren't always played out in the media.
Out of all the names mentioned over the past couple of weeks, Fenlon was the only one that I thought would be an exciting choice. McCall isn't a glamour appointment, but anyone who was expecting a big name or someone with an excellent track record is deluded. Look at the quality/experience of players we attract and that will tell you the kind of manager we're going to get. Very few managers are going to want to work with almost no money, and even the teams in the lower leagues of England have money to spend, add this to the fact the guy has to be unemployed and this is going to thin out the list of possibilities further.
I don't care who our new manager used to play for, all I care about is how he manages MFC. He's obviously impressed the board enough for them to offer him the job, so I'll trust them on this one for the time being.
One thing that seems to be lost on SPL teams these days is bringing through players and managers from the Scottish lower leagues. Is this a quality or a financial thing?
