Talk about a manager wasting money on transfers, there is your man. A media darling whose reputation far outstripped his ability. Ruined a decent Motherwell team, and was heading the same way with Hibs. There was horror stories of player indiscipline at Rangers and yet he managed to maintain a good reputation in the Scottish game. His second spell as Scotland manager I think is a fair reflection of his capability. I would take his Aberdeen playing partner Strachan over McLeish any day of the week.

Yes, he was at the end of his playing career when he played for us , but look at his effort compared to what you saw from some yesterday. But, whatever, he is qualifying as a coach ( maybe has) and is highly regarded by other coaches and player who have worked with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Wispy Flossy Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 McCall when he took the job was reported to be on about £80k a year. I very much doubt we will be paying or likely to be paying anywhere near £250k a year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spit_It_Out Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 I see it totally different only one manager position at a club and tons of decent managers out of work will be looking at that and fancying it to get us out a hole,another string to the cv and bigger clubs will come sniffing.Its really not about the wage with alot of them its about what is Motherwell going to offer me to work with.I think we could get alot of names mentioned on here by folk but going how we do things thats why i said McCall might come back as McGee came back and Robinson came back clearly to take over from McGee.

Onthefringes Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Reported when I lived/worked in the North East that Aberdeen matched the salary offered by Sunderland that has the ire of plenty up there who always expect more. Would dwarf the sum mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
