FirParkCornerExile Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Heard from a good source that Danny Lennon spoke to the club before yesterday.

FirParkCornerExile Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Lennon not at alloa? Surely we wouldn't be speaking to a manager that's under contract? If we are speaking to a "manager" with or without a club Lennon wouldnt come into that category. He couldnt manage a pish unassisted.

FirParkCornerExile Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Bite all you like. Rated by some, keeping a shite St Mirren team up every season & winning silverware into the bargain. That will be why Alloa are second bottom of the league cos Dans the man.

delboy Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 any descent Scottish manager that Motherwell can afford is in a job It will either be a first time manager or someone from England or Europe I'd like to see Paul Lambert in the job but that's just sentimentally I don't want the Well to go back to a old manager however I will be interested to see how Craigan gets on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dossertillidie Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Lambert,Davies,or burley with craggs and Robinson staying would be my choice but finances I'm sure wouldn't allow that I think an experienced head who knows Scottish football to lead craggs and Robinson short term would be ideal If craggs is considered interim manager I think that says it all as to where Robinson fits in. Would surely be down to the incoming manager and our finances in terms of pay offs whether he went as well. I can see the search for a manager who is happy to accept the current coaching team being what we look for which prob rules out someone in a job already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goggles & Flippers Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Someone who sees it as a project and wants to leave a legacy (Van Der Gaag, AN Other) or Fallen manager looking to build his reputation (Lambert, Coyle, Mackay type character) or Manager on a bit on years and not looking to move due to family/lifestyle (Burley, Calderwood) or Some random we've never heard of before, out of left field. One thing is certain, the perception our new owner has deep pockets may attract a few big names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Fallen manager looking to build his reputation (Lambert, Coyle, Mackay type character)I know they're only examples but Coyle's at Houston and Lambert is nowhere near fallen enough to drop down from an EPL job to Scottish Premiership. I saw a few mentions linking him with clubs like Fulham and I'd imagine he'd get a Championship gig no problem after the job he did at Norwich. Mackay? That's a different story after Cardiff then being binned by Wigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianc Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Let Craigen get on with it. See how it goes. No need to chuck money about for a "face". Sounds as if the team in itself has plenty of opinions of who and how to play. Let them get on with it. Might work. They must feel passionately enough about it to have had a punch up amongst themselves and the ex Mgr. No? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCDawg Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 What if we're in no rush to appoint? Craigan might prove he's up for it. Could be what we need he was a great leader on the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Up For It! Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Really hope Craggs gets a few games to see what he could do before we rush into an appointment. If he proves decent enough, would be delighted to see him given until the end of the season. If it doesn't go to plan, then I think we have to be looking at experience. In that case would love a Coyle or Lambert type, but probably outwith our reach. Mixu Paatelainen is an interesting shout is we want to go more exotic. Young up and comers would be Fowler at Queens of McIntyre at Ross County who I think is one of the best managers in the league. Either way, the directors have to get this right. As a side note, given some reports that it was Steve Robinson involved in altercations with a player in dressing room, is his position guaranteed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grizzlyg Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Mixu a good shout and why not sound out Lambert or Malky Mackay, these guys have earned a fortune so money might not be an issue but a chance for them to build their reputation again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 With the timing of the sacking it means we've got a couple of games then an international break so I'd say that Craigan's got until at least mid-October. As far as the alleged altercation with Robinson goes I don't see that there would be much of an issue. Much worse has happened in dressing rooms after games I'm sure and I get the impression that Craigan is pretty on board with him anyway. Absolutely no need for further disruption.

Kmcalpin Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Peter Houston would be a decent candidate, I thought he did a decent job at United and he's worked well at Falkirk with a limited budget. Very unlikely I'd say. In any event left Tannadice under a cloud if I recall rightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellHighlander Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Fowler interesting as like the way he conducts himself. Been impressed by Aitken, but both he and Fowler are untested at top level and I'm not sure that's what Motherwell need right now. Would be a fairly big gamble. A steady, experienced hand seems the way to go. Not overly keen on McGhee (don't think he'd be interested anyway) or even McCall returning, although not adverse to it. However, definitely not Pressley. Loves the sound of his own voice too much. Listen to him and you wold think he invented the game! PS Just a thought but what would fans think if a new back room team was needed and Malpas returned as an assistant/coach? Very highly thought of by players/board at Caley Thistle during successful time in Highlands. Could sort out our leaky defence! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall has had his day and I wouldn't even contemplate bringing him back. By his own admission he ran out of ideas last season. Malpas is a definite no go and would not be welcomed back. I agree though a steady experienced hand is the way to go. In our current position its not a job for a rookie. We need a good man manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one m in motherwell Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 I wouldn't be too surprised if we paid compensation if it meant getting the guy we want. The board can't afford to get it wrong twice in a year. As for who? God knows. The experienced hand approach makes sense for now but none of the usual names fill me with much excitement. The English lower-league contact route hasn't been particularly great for us either. I've thought for a while now that looking at the lower Scottish leagues could be fruitful (certainly some good examples that have been a success), but don't really know enough of the names to suggest anyone.

Haggischomper Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Stuart McCall gave up and couldn't give a flying fuck when he first managed us. Why on earth are people quoting him? No chance, the waster. If you want to call anyone an imposter, there's yer fucking man and by his own admittance!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one m in motherwell Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Just following what I said earlier - I wouldn't be averse to Craigan getting the job full time if he does well in the next few weeks. He's obviously someone who knows the club, and was party to the recent issues - he's well placed to knock some heads together and get any muppets hunted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
