Expand Ally MacLeod was probably the quickest out the door into a new season that I can think of, up until today. If only Hammell could do a Davie Hay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 I think the mutual consent thing usually includes an agreement on compensation. He seems to have initiated the conversation, so I doubt we've paid him and lucketti off fully, but the communication from both parties suggests things were a bit more amicable than punting him with just his bfh.

fizoxy Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 As far as pundits like faddy and craigan go, nope. It's easy for them to spout their opinions on what we're doing wrong, knowing they're not on the hook to do anything about it. Neither have done anything to suggest they're capable of managing at any level. Craigan was great with the u21s, but that was a once in a blue moon crop of players, and a whole different ballgame compared to the senior team.

Credit also for the closing comments, gone with a bit of class. Expand He's made the smart move. He built it, but looking at that squad in action over the last two games, he must've known it was only a matter of time - because they're shit, or because they're not playing for him. Or maybe both. Leaving now saves his reputation possibly taking a battering over the next few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Given that Faddy's getting his UEFA badges (and his stated interest in coaching/management), I wouldn't be against having him in one of our coaching roles - but I wouldn't have him anywhere near a manager's job at this point. Right now I'm more curious about which role GA fills at St Mirren. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a winner having won premier League titles with Rangers. He was also part of the Rangers side which reached the 2008 UEFA Cup Final.

wellsince75 Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Keep googling my way through experienced mgrs out of jobs .

star sail Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Malky MacKay would be the most experienced and most successful manager we could hope for but there would be major barriers to overcome to appoint him. Would he fit the club ethos given his history? I suspect compensation would be a major issue and is Motherwell a step up from RC these days? He would have the Craig Brown quality of steadying the ship and may actually be able to take the team forward. Would be a major risk from a PR perspective.

Spit_It_Out Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 I have no idea who next choice of manager should be it shall be a bit left field as normal and not going to lie most of the names mentioned fill me with dread.
