The Next Manager, Who Would You Want And Who Could We Get

Couldn't see us appointing a new manager given the uncertainty over ownership.

 

Hopefully it is resolved by the end of the month and Black and the players can do the business while we are in limbo. Crunch games are coming thick and fast.

 

Speaking of which...BBC

 

Sounds like you're spot on.

 

Motherwell: Kenny Black to stay in charge as board forms shortlist

Kenny Black will continue as caretaker manager of Motherwell while the club's board forms a shortlist for the managerial vacancy at Fir Park.

 

However, no permanent appointment will be made until ownership of the club is finally resolved, possibly this month.

 

A statement on the club website says 55 candidates from 20 countries have applied to replace Stuart McCall.

 

"We have been extremely encouraged by the quality and calibre of applicants from across the world," it says.

 

McCall resigned as manager of the Scottish Premiership club on 2 November with the team struggling to find the form of recent seasons.

 

John Boyle has placed his 70% shareholding in trust in the hope thatcommunity-based group The Well Society can raise the funds to buy them, though other groups are also reported to be interested in seeking control.

 

The statement said that discussions with interested parties "are ongoing" and that it plans to "reach a conclusion by the end of the current month".

 

It continued: "As a result, the board has agreed to delay the appointment of a new manager until the issue of ongoing ownership of the club is resolved.

 

"We have spoken at length with Kenny Black and he enthusiastically agreed to continue in the role as caretaker manager until a full time appointment is made.

 

 

"We are extremely grateful to Kenny and the rest of the management team for their cooperation during this period as we look forward to the next chapter in the club's history."

By the board. I don't think our fan ownership model is like the myfootballclub.com at Ebbsfleet United experiment, unless I have missed something.

 

No, the Society has been pretty clear that they expect the Board to making decisions like that.

 

God help us if they ever went down the Ebbsfleet path. I took part in that and it was a disaster - mostly because a lot of the key information was withheld.

What a fucking world eh, where people are offended by racism, sexism and homophobia? The blacks, the gays and all the women just need to get over the generations of discrimination cause middle aged white men, the most oppressed group of all, want to make jokes about them. What about Malky's rights to be an arsehole? #lifeisntfair #pcgonemadm8

Completely off topic now, but while I like the fact we are evolving, maybe not at a rate acceptable to some and too fast for many others, we are progressing.

 

However I'm pretty sure its not only middle aged white men who are the one's dishing out the one liners and put downs, I'm pretty sure Jo Brand has made a career out of it and going on about how much cake she consumes. People on all sides, all backgrounds and all associations make silly references and comments that with hindsight they regret (granted sometimes not because they are contrite, it's to take the heat off them) or their opinion changes over time.

 

Growing up in West Central Scotland as a 16 year old I have little time of gays, if anyone at school did anything other than macho they were labelled a poof and to not pour scorn got you labelled as one too. All these years later I've worked around the world with a great deal of gay people and interacted and also socialised on a daily basis. Do I feel the same as I did as a 16 year old, no. Should I be judged on my opinions as a 16 year old, I hope not.

 

With respect to Mackay, in these days of heightened media exposure a light is shone on it that once wouldn't have been many years back. Does he deserve another chance, yes. Will he make the same mistake again, I doubt it.

 

Debates like this always remind me back to the Celeb Big Brother scandal where Jade Goody was vilified for racist behaviour to Shilpa Shetty. Yes she was guilty of jealousy, bullying and exclusion by forming a clique. The thing the media picked up on was how she said when she cooked it tasted of curry and did her accent for laughs with her mates.

 

Always wonders if it was a Scottish housemate and Jade was to suggest everything was deep fried, tasted of Haggis and Irn Bru and did a "hoots mon, where's yer troosers?" would she have been hauled over the coals as much?

 

Back to the football please.

The PC mob has well and truly taken over.
