David Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 I know we've been down this road before, but I honestly think that McCall has to be a serious candidate for the award this year, especially if we overtake Aberdeen and finish 2nd. I have no doubt the media will be in overdrive to see McInnes win it, but surely with the resources that we have McCall has to be in with a shout, especially with Lennon blowing the cups and getting his arse handed to him in the Champions League?

weesacs Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 hes done fantastically well, but IMO, if Aberdeen finish 4th or better, I think McIness will win it McCall is now a victim of his own success - its "expected" that we finish up there they are a bottom 6 team! first cup win in 19yrs and looking likely to make it to their 2nd final of the season I'd love McCall to win it, but the reason the media are going on about Aberdeen is a combination of : they are a sleeping giant, the turnaround this season has been exceptional, they have a large support which can help the mess Scottish football is in, they have been a good team to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browni Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 For McCall to stand a chance he will need to take 2nd spot of Aberdeen. Even then I wouldn't be too confident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 If we finish 2nd, he has a chance, but our woeful performance in the Cups this season will count against him (despite his success in rebuilding a team after losing the core of his last squad).

StipeIsGod Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 No point in talking about it as the media will make damn sure McInnes wins it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebsbarmyarmy Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 No point in talking about it as the media will make damn sure McInnes wins it. 2nd in the league, Cup win, Scottish Cup semi coming up.... They won't need to try hard as he is a good shout in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzie Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Bad substitutions cost us at least one point, if not three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 McCall talks about not being content with just a point yet brought on a centre half to play right mid at the end?!?! I'm not sure the point in bringing on an inexperienced Leitch and constantly moving Vigurs about either. Probably cost us 2nd spot and possibly even 3rd with the dropped points today.

Yassin Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 McInnes 100% deserves it imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Of course, McInnes well on track for it. McNamara still has an outside shout depending on how the next few weeks go for United. McCall deserves huge credit for getting the very best out of his squad since the cup low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 if st johnstone win the scottish cup tommy wright should be in with a shout considering how average his squad is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosser1886 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 What he has managed with the resources that he has at his disposal. He should be voted manager of the year, year after year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haggischomper Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Zero chance McCall is manager of the year. This season is far more a case of what might have been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Zero chance McCall is manager of the year. This season is far more a case of what might have been. I agree he won't win it, but for me "What might have been", given the massive turnover in personnel, is that we could have been fighting out with Hibs. Disappointed with the cup results, but pleasantly surprised how competitive we have been at the top end of the table. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomjac Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Not a snowball in hella chance of McCall winning it. To be in third place and challenging for second is a really good achievement, but as for the last few years we do not seem to habe the ability to turn it on when the chips are down. Woefully inadequate is the only way to describe the performances every time a result in a "big game" was required. Yesterday they again missed a chance to overtake Aberdeen to ease into second spot.

si91 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Always good to see our club get some recognition, especially after all the love for McInnes & McNamara. Good read as well m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/26808307 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Not sure that McCall would even make the short-list to be honest. Let's hope that he can keep most of the squad together and do better next year i.e. top 4 plus a cup final! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzie Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 If we win every game between now and the end of the season 5-0 and we end up galloping away with second spot, he still doesn't deserve it after what happened at New Douglas Park that day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 ^True enough, although too many people on here would rather blame the goalie..... Wouldn't be surprised to see Fat Sally on the short-list but it'll likely be Lennon, McInnes with either McNamara or Wright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
