Haggischomper Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I wouldn't say no to a Deek Adams appointment actually... Me either. Craigan as number 2 to get his feet wet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 We need someone who knows the SPL in and out. Young players, low on confidence... it's imperative we don't fuck about and get the right man. George Burley or the two Jimmy's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burma Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 There is no one in place. no one lined up, and no one interested at the moment because no has been approached. It will be February at least before we have a new manager in place. Doubt we will make any signings in January but we will lose a few. Young and Craigen will be in charge for the next month. Was there anyone lined up when McGhees protracted and dramatic departure was imminent? Was there any question of a replacement? NO Boyle just aint that smart or interested. Burley will not be coming to Motherwell, we cant afford him or his ambition. Any decent manage proven manager is out of our price range, and any decent ambitious manager is wont stay because we wont shell out the cash. The players clearly have a lot of power at Fir Park. I would not expect us to employ anyone with any kind of track record. Bottom line Boyle will not pay the money to get someone of stature in. We are looking at someone who is currently out of work, and either a rookie manager or a bog standard journeyman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finlay Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 No caretakers please! Just look at Newcastle. What running away with the league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Pacino Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I've found it pretty hard to watch the last 4 games and couldn't fathom some of the substitutions Gannon was making but I tried not to over-react as I thought he had the best interests of the club at heart and this was all part of his masterplan. Imagine how John Boyle must have felt watching the same games knowing full well that Gannon wasn't willing to commit to the club and would be off like a shot if he got an offer from down south? It's no wonder he told him to get to. I was willing to give Gannon the benefit of the doubt as I thought he had a plan and was a man of his word. It now looks as if he was talking a lot of shit about his plans for the future and was merely using us until something better came along down south. To me he is more dishonourable than Muttley as at least he achieved something with us before whoring himself about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nethertonwellfan Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 What running away with the league? I meant last season. Anyway they are running away with the league because they appointed a permanent manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burma Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Is there any evidence whatsoever that Gannon was applying for jobs down south? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxi Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 @ The people suggesting Craigan He cant marshall a defence never mind a team. Only guy i would take is Calderwood, none of this Njholt or McAllistier pish that know fuck all about the SPL. Would maybe take Butcher as long as Malpas stays in Inverness.

nethertonwellfan Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 ...and you base that on what...?? Just my gut feeling. Nothing concrete I just can't see Boyle sacking a manager at this time of the season right before the transfer window opens with no plan in place for a quick appointment. I think we need to be speedy about this. So there is no rumour in what I am saying it is just a feeling. Maybe it's just wishful thinking.

Shallow Dave Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Yeah - pretty much.Fucking genius Boyle manages to fuck about wi our club yet again. +1 I'm with Burma on this one. Can you imagine either of Duncan Bannatyne, Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden or Theo Pahitis putting their company in a situation where the most important employee didn't have a contract for six months? I can see why it's the above four that grace our tellies and not Boyle. SD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's just wishful thinking. i sincerely hope your right, however his history of decision making would suggest that this is not the case. Prior to Boyle Motherwell had had 13 managers in 100 years. Since Boyles stewardship in 1998 we have now went through 8 managers, not counting the caretakers every time a manager leaves or is sacked.
