milo Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Just after the Hibs game he said it would be signed by the Dundee game. McCall has said on more than a few occasions now that signing the new contract is imminent. I must admit the longer it goes unsigned the more anxious I'm becoming.

Bop Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Is Gannon still out of a job? If the worst were to happen, there are worse people we could charge with the rebuilding of the squad. Still one of the most talented managers ive ever seen at FP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Stall Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Is Gannon still out of a job? If the worst were to happen, there are worse people we could charge with the rebuilding of the squad. Still one of the most talented managers ive ever seen at FP. I can't imagine Gannon is the type of character that would just come back to us. Anyway, McCall will hopefully sign his deal this week, infact when I win the £90mill on euromillions the morra, I'll put an extra £50k onto his contract, and also offer Randz a warchest to stay.

weeyin Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Sarcasm Not at all, I was just wondering if there was some negotiation details that he wanted to share. Otherwise, the situation as I understand it is pretty much this: By McCall's own admission, the club presented him with a new contract a number of weeks ago. For a few weeks, McCall says he's been too busy to get around to signing it. Last week we hear the story, which may or may not be true, that his agents/managers/lawyers/whatever have now read it and are trying to negotiate over a specific release clause. Unless there have been details published about that specific clause that I'm not aware of, I have no idea how good or bad that is. Certainly, just because some money grubbing agent who benefits from his client moving as often as possible, is complaining about it, doesn't mean it's unreasonable. And I'm not going to fault the club for the speed in which they got a contract on the table, or the fact that they want to protect themselves from a Paw Broon situation. If anything, the fault lies with the individual (or his advisors) who dragged their heels when it came to reviewing it. However, as someone who spends a fair amount of time working with contracts, I know even the most straightforward ones can take weeks to agree once the lawyers get involved. Oh, and I do agree Gannon was not treated well by the club, I just don't see any parallels with this situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well 4 Europe Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Craig Moore signs new 2 and half year contract. McCall obviously rates him highly to hand such a long term contract to someone who hasn't made a first team appearance for us yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noah Dosser Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Craig Moore signs new 2 and half year contract. McCall obviously rates him highly to hand such a long term contract to someone who hasn't made a first team appearance for us yet. The youngster is a good player. For those who haven't seen him play he is similar to D. Arnott or S McDonald. Good eye for goal and is a defenders nightmare with his constant movement and ability to handle himself( incoming criticism for this from the we want silky footballers division no doubt ) Think there will be a few youngsters playing 1st team next season as I cannot see many of the out of contract players staying.

siebsbarmyarmy Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 He's getting really good reviews from Cowden fans who think he is an excellant player. Good to hear and see him banging in the goals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Glad Moore is signed up. Hopefully Watt is offered a deal too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC_MKI Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Knowing us we'll end up releasing him in the summer, only to watch him bang the goals in elsewhere just like we did with Lawless. Edit: sorry just noticed he's signed a new 2 year deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Glad Moore is signed up. Hopefully Watt is offered a deal too. i'd be extremely disappointed if we released watt without him getting any game time. whenever i've seen him he looks to have ability and a few tricks in his locker.

AlmostFrazzled Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I would hire Jim Gannon as a scout in a heartbeat. The calibre of player he brought in on a brutally tight budget has to be some of the best I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottW1886 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 What shortlist is that? Mark Hateley and Everton coaching staff? Worked wonders for him in his last two jobs Jim Gannon gave an interview for the Hibs job which included him telling the directors all about the players they had in the squad already, in the reserves and in the youths. He then had a list of all the players he felt could improve the squad, with 3 options for each position. He then did the same with Motherwell. Like him or loathe him, the guy has an extensive knowledge of the players available at any time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I think it was his man management that let him down. Most of the guys he brought in did pretty well for us. We played some good football under him for a while. Yassin mouthakil, his terrible man management and his personality were the downsides.
