mfc Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 good move for both parties imo our youth setup is needing a bit of a shakeup and a new face will hopefully provide that and gordon gets a new challenge elsewhere,best of luck at your new club gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foghorn Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 All the best to him in an exciting new venture. We were never the same under 19's when he was taken off the coaching role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texanwellfan Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Could be another avenue for us to unearth some unknown talent with him now going to England and hopefully still retaining some affection for Motherwell. is that selfish?

weeyin Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Absolutely. Shame to see him go, but always good to see the talent at our 'provincial' club being recognized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goggles & Flippers Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Anyone think he would have stayed if the reorganisation a few months back wouldn't have happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Honest question: Do we need a new head of development? Not sure if that role existed before Young took the step up last season. Best of luck to him, hope to see him back at the club at some point or perhaps even developing a relationship between his new club and ours (as long as it is beneficial to us).

Shaka Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Honest answer - Yes! The reason for the reorganisation was that to be eligible for SFA Funding for the academy you must have a certain structure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WishyWell Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Honest question: Do we need a new head of development? Not sure if that role existed before Young took the step up last season. Best of luck to him, hope to see him back at the club at some point or perhaps even developing a relationship between his new club and ours (as long as it is beneficial to us). We have always had a Head of Youth Development. It was Chris McCart before Youngy and, I think, Davie McPartland before Chris. The role was combined with coaching the u19s and Youngy also helped out with the first team - basically his dedication to the club meant he was working a colossal number of hours and spreading himself thin. The reorganisation came with the SFA's new Academy system for youth development, one part of which decreed that the club's youth system should have an Academy Director who was not allowed to also fill the role of coaching the new u20s age group, as the 20s are full time and the u17s are the oldest age group in the youth system, or Academy as it's now known. This let him give the youth set-up his undivided attention, which could only be a good thing, and allowed him to personally take some of the training sessions for the teams to add his experience to that of the team coaches. Certainly, as far as that was concerned, all I can say is that "WishyWell Jnr" loved those sessions and thought he was a brilliant coach so, even if for no other reason, I wish him well in his new post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noah Dosser Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Sorry folks, don't read every thread on here and I certainly don't read the Sun. Just thought I'd pass on what I heard but obviously wasn't fast enough with the news, damn workplace rules ! Good appointment anyway IMHO.

Malky79 Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Don't all rush to name him at once.., Fucking typical of this place. "Oh I hear a certain someone who once played 5 minutes as a sub in 1978 is being lined up for a coaching role." Obscure quiz corner with some people!

makaveli Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 1st people I thought of was Leitch or Craigan, dismissed craigan as he went into media so I would put my money on Leitch as he's currently unemployed. As for Crags, didn't he have a role as player/1st team coach latterly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
