MJC Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 And Partick Thistle stay down after a penalty loss. I wasn’t particularly bothered either way but after listening to BBC Radio Scotland’s commentary which was basically willing Thistle to win then I’m pretty chuffed to see one of their ‘darling’ clubs fall flat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 Although the Championship was close this year I'd still have been disappointed if the team in 4th had been promoted. If there has to be a play-off (and I don't think there is any need) then second top vs second bottom at least maintains some level of integrity for a league system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand The purist in my agrees - top club gets promoted and 2nd top gets the play off . that said the championship had nearly all teams playing for something til the last game .

Expand Sorry don't agree at all; whole point of a league is to prove levels of performance over a season, not a couple of games, IMO. Why not have the bottom team in the premiership play the top to decide who wins the title, that would generate a lot of cash.

wellfan Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 As soon as we gave this gig to a former senior squad manager, again, I knew they would be off at the first sniff of another better gig, which is fair enough. The Club must think more carefully about who we appoint to this type of role in the future. Securing a young former senior squad manager to look after the boys may be a coup and look good on paper, but it will always end like this and very quickly, as we've now seen at least twice. https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2023/06/06/alan-archibald-departs/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
