Malky79 Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I am absolutely sick of hearing that line. It's the same as "When we were in administration, we'd have been happy just to have had a team to support". Irrelevant, lot of bollocks. Gannon has, admittedly, brought in a better group of players than we could have expected, but he is now completely failing to manage them and we are on the slide. Whilst this is going on, his solution is to point the finger at the referees, the media, the wee lassie selling the pies, etc to take the heat away from himself - exactly what we all criticised McGhee/Malpas for. I await the announcement of his departure with relish. Sit on the fence why don't you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweed Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Frazzle - administration has no bearing on this season so its hardly a fair comparison. The squad Gannon inherited does. When people say they would have bitten their hand off for eleventh they were taking an holistic view that the squad we had was only good enough for a bottom six scrap over the season. It was an expectation et for this season which we are still in. The fact our squad was so limited was entirely relevant to this season. We all accepted there would be poor runs this season and whilst I would always expect to beat St Johnstone at home, the first rocky patch is not the time to shoehorn the manager out the door. I am worried that we may not arrest the current slide, I am worried that the performances over the last couple of months have been disappointing (read shite), I am worried we are only eight off bottom, I am worried that if we take a poor points haul off Killie, Hamilton, Falkirk and St Mirren we could be in a dog fight. I am not yet at the stage of leaving games we are winning at half time or throwing other peoples' season tickets across a pub in disgust at our performance. Gannon I believe will turn it around. Maybe not on Wednesday, maybe not on Saturday but overall he is still very much in the credit column. That notwithstanding we were shite on Saturday and perhaps some home truths were needed and given in his after match comments. And he is in some ways correct. An inability to pass a ball ten yards is friggin basic. If you are a professional football and you cannot do that 95 times out of 100 I suggest the player is in the wrong job.

The first part of that sentence you can call a prophecy. It's not like Gannon's Motherwell has never blown a lead before, eh? Second part - I have no knowledge of what you speak. Must have been post 9pm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I await the announcement of his departure with relish. Well, you've got what you wanted. Now, with no manager in place until after the new year probably, we can look at the likes of Ruddy and Jutkiewicz taking off, with no replacements of a similar standing brought in. Regardless of Gannons intentions to leave Motherwell at some point, we should have been looking to keep things rolling along until the end of the current season at least. This carry-on will do the team no good at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzie Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Yes, I'm delighted. To be fair, I knew he was gone when I posted that line. Anyway, even though I am glad he has left, I am also glad that he was here in the first place. He has given us a squad at Xmas much stronger than I expected we could have had when he first took over. However, he has completely failed to manage that squad to its potential over a couple of months rather than weeks and, as a result, good riddance. He has rubbed loads of people up the wrong way within the club, the press and the SFA and you can only get away with that sort of behaviour when you're getting results. He wasn't, so it's no surprise that he now has a back full of knives. That's the risk you take when you manage in such a style. I'm also convinced that Gannon leaving has given us our only possible route towards getting anything at Tynecastle on Wednesday. Hopefully the players will have something to prove, pull together and get the job done. Moan Ra Dossers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
