New Manager-who Would We Get?

[Cakes]

Colin Calderwood would be run out of town without the need for money changing hands.

[Big Stall]

Calderwood, Duffy, Mccoll

 

Any of these and I wont be back

 

You wouldnt be happy at Calderwood, a guy who continually got Aberdeen into Europe?

[SuperSteelman]

just off sky news,hes away tomorrow

 

Didn't say he was aways tomorrow, it said Aberdeen and Motherwell will open talks on Monday over compensation for Mark McGhee.

[Malky79]

If we do go with a relative rookie manager I'd love to see Nijholt come in. His one management job was from recollection not a disaster, and has plenty experience as number 2 at some good teams.

 

Still prefer someone a bit more experienced, but no Craig Brown. Was awful at Preston and I don't think he managed any other club but Clyde. He'd have gotten nowhere near a decent job if it wasn't for dreadful way SFA operates.

[Big Stall]

As for Leitch,

 

I wouldnt be too worried. Hopefully he has learned McGhoo's good points in the last 2 years, and importantly he knows the squad, knows the guys he needs to offer a contract to right away without them having to impress a new manager, and he knows how the team will be able to play in a few weeks time for our European tour.

[Brazilian]

we need to think a bit further outside the box

 

give Angie1991 the gig, hugely successfull with links to the club

 

Edit: if she doesn't want the sideways step, draft in Miodrag Krivokapic

[Rickoza]

With Adriannse having left Red Bull Salzburg Nijholt would perhaps be about to leave as well, it's not that often a new manager decides to keep on the current assistant. Pretty sure, from what I hear and know, Luc would walk to Fir Park from Austria for the interview.......

['WellMagic!]

I think managers such as Pardew, Coppell etc are way out of our range, we'd have no chance.

 

Looks like Duffy, McCall etc sadly here's hoping Boyle can pull a surprise out the bag.

[Malky79]

new guy is dutch, dunno if that make a difference. But if Nijholt leaves then we might do a lot worse.

 

My biggest concern is we are not quite up shit creek without a paddle at the moment but the paddle looks like it has woodworm. Would hate to see him come in, have a miniscule budget and struggle.

 

Hoping we decent comp for McGhee and Leitch who both doubled wages last season, get a bit of money back in the player budget, fingers crossed the TV money doesn't evaporate, and we get to watch some Dutch style total football and back to sort of stuff we had in McGhee's first season. :-)

[GazzyB]

Spot on TheLip! The last thing we need is an inexperienced manager, despite whether or not he played for the club. Experience is what we need!

And on a tight budget. He did a good job up there, though he didn't get that tan in Aberdeen.

[Deaddogman]

My choice would be Luc Nijholt,

[Jay]

The more I think about it, the more I'm leaning towards Nijholt for boss.

 

I reckon it would be a good appointment, it would provide a bit of excitement amongst the fans in that he's something a bit different to your standard Duffys and Williamsons, he genuinely wants to be Motherwell manager, and would bring with him a knowledge of some European lower leagues.

 

That said, I reckon we'd need to sort him out with a British assistant with a good knowledge of both the Scottish & English leagues.

 

Unfortunately, I don't think McCart would consider leaving Celtic for an assistant's role.

[star sail]

Was wondering if someone with more know how than me could set up a poll with some of the likely names. Just for fun to cheer us up!

[MelvinBragg]

Nijholt and Boyd??

[Kmcalpin]

And on a tight budget. He did a good job up there, though he didn't get that tan in Aberdeen.

 

I would be very disappointed if JC came to Fir Park - doubt if he'd want the job anyway.

 

He spent a lot of cash at East End Park and left in unpleasant circumstances. He then joined the 3rd/4th biggest team in Scotland and failed to punch their weight especially in cup competitions. He then constantly bleated about not having enough cash to spend. What has he built with a lot of dosh at Pittodrie? A solid but pretty dull side.

[SuperSteelman]

Here's the news article from 2007 when Luc applied for the job. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ell/6730057.stm

[fatcalf]

I dont care who he played for just as long as he does the job. I've welcomed equally, Jock Wallace and Davie Hay, Employ a manager for his ability to manage nothing else.

 

Fuckin' Jock Wallace, he wis a roaring success win't he?

Done, poll added with as many named names as I could possibly remember. Sorry if I missed any.

Cheers.

What about Miodrag Krivokapic?

 

 

oh and Angie 1991

[star sail]

Went for A.N Other. Paul Lambert for me.

[something else]

Love to see Nijholt get the job.

[east stand loyal]

Nijholt & Leitch

[trafficlight]

From that list I would say Billy Davies would be the biggest coup, though I doubt you could get him. Jim Gannon could be an inspired appointment; a young manager who has made a good start to his career and who might like the chance of an SPL job.
