Expand He would be a good fit for us right now imo. He knows the game and knows how to set teams up to be difficult to beat, plus he would (surely) be affordable for us unlike Lennon, Lambert or Levein?

Expand I thought it was surprising until I saw that their league form has dropped off and their playoff chances were starting to dwindle. Still seems hasty though.

There was another article form this interview where he talks about his preference for youth development, and the bbc article seems to have pulled the diplomatic answers to the "do you want the job" question and turned it into a story. I wouldn't discount him taking it, (I thought hammell would never take the role then that happened). However, the interim guy needs to be careful, if they say they've no intention of going for the role, it might make it harder to get buy in from players. Oh, and Ian McCall is a big no for me.

Expand Yeah because having a manager who ‘loves’ Rangers is the worst thing we could have right now eh? It’s not as if we’ve ever done okay with ex Rangers players as managers in the past or anything. You know like an ex-Rangers player overseeing a Scottish Cup win or another ex-Rangers player taking us from the brink of extinction to top six and a League Cup Final? Or yet another one guiding us to 3rd, 2nd and 2nd again? Nah, lets not get anyone in who has a previous connection with Rangers. ”Announce Lennon!” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamH Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 If we wanted McCall I doubt Thistle would have sacked him and missed out on potential compensation. That’s what I hope anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

couttsy Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 Daily Record reporting Lambert is out of the running, no great surprise given the wages he’ll have been on previously. No great lose either I don’t think. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/paul-lambert-wont-next-motherwell-29199789 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 Shame, Lambert was my preferred candidate, but I can see why he'd want to steer clear of us at this point. Now I need to find a new preferred candidate, I'll need to tweak the algorithm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
