What if certain Managers were at Motherwell?

Could these guys manage a team successfully without having millions to spend? Could they manage one on a shoestring? My choice would be the Alex Smith of a few years ago. He had a proven track record of keeping teams on a shoestring up. Don't ask him to buy players though!

On a serious note the late great Jim McLean would have kicked some backsides and of course Sir Alex 

We did approach United way back when to try and bring him in as manager when but we were denied. Obviously it was before my time but St Midden let Alex slip under their fingers, they have a fair knack for letting some world class talent slip away. Makes you wonder if the McLean move happened for us and the Ferguson one didn't for Aberdeen then some major Scottish Footballing moments don't happen.

Maybe we would have won the league and gotten to a European Cup Semi Final against the Italian claret & amber!

I am torn between two options, one pragmatic and one fanciful.

In order to get us out of the situation we currently find ourselves in, I’d trust wee Tommy McLean to get the job done. It might not be pretty, but he never let us down during his tenure.

The manager I’d like to see in charge, and have the team playing in the style he us famous for is Rinus Michels. Would it work? Probably not, but it would be interesting to see how it played out. Before anyone says anything, I will admit that other personnel might also have to change.
