I think most would accept that there are reasons why it would appeal. However IMO if you look at the bigger picture it's an absolutely ridiculous move.
Add in that there could be a court battle over who owns the stadium and training complex, there's a dirty tricks campaign in the boardroom in progress, there could be administration on the horizon etc etc and it's even less appealing.
For the benefit of your career you surely choose the one where you can improve yourself rather than the one where you'll deteriorate (Black, Shiels, Sandaza, Templeton, Wallace...)?
IMO we've done alright as £130,000 is better than SFA that we'd have got if McCall hadn't signed a new contract.
I'm looking forward to the speculation over who the new manager will be.
I'm not sure Wallace, Black, Shiels or Tempelton would agree with most of what you have written. How good a move has it been for their careers? Any of them getting a move down south? Their bank balance may have gone up but they have deteriorated as players.
Anyone who signs for Sevco is doing so to the detriment of their career and it's certainly not a "springboard".
Was it not more of a threat from current season ticket holders/pay at the gate fans that they'd walk away rather than promises of others to start attending?
We have more quality in our team than anybody else in the league, bar Celtic. Stuart McCall deserves immense credit for bringing in Faddy, Higdon, Law and Ojamma to add to what was already there and also for the work ethic he has instilled to the team.
My concern is that every day that passes without McCall signing is a day closer to Sevco needing a new manager. If Sevco are to be in the bottom division again next year Charles Green needs to do something to sell season tickets. He can't sign any players just now so an announcement as soon as they win the league that McCoist is "moving upstairs" and a new manager is coming in next season could be the way to do it. The new manager would have to be a Rangers man and with McCall being out of contract he'd definitely fit the bill.
As others have said we don't know for certain who is holding the deal up but if the Rangers job becomes available before he's signed I'd definitely be concerned.
