If you eliminated OF connections, we would have missed out on the successful spells from Davie Hay, Tommy McLean, Mark McGhee (1st spell), Stuart McCall and Craig Brown.

Expand Yeah - according to Wikipedia he made the grand total of "0" appearances for Rangers. 31 appearances in 10 years isn't a great return.

Lord Tanamo Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Let's not forget the almost unique situation that we are not in a desperate situation, frantically trying to avoid relegation. We are therefore not looking for an escape artist. Personally I'd like to see someone with a wealth of English Div1/2 experience/contacts and a reputation for attacking football and developing younger players. Hammell was the 'easy' choice but a gamble, and not ready. Kettlewell was the 'easy' choice, but had failed at Ross County - which should have had alarm bells ringing. No need to rush into this. Take your time MFC and get it right please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I think that's a reasonable skill set on which to base our search. Certainly someone with a reputation for fielding attack minded sides would go a long way to rekindling the support's enthusiasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewelllfan Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 I'm seeing Chris Hughton being linked with the job that would be a really interesting one. He's been around the premeir league and championship in England for a long time and to me would be quite an exciting appointment.
