Kris*Kaizer 2*Nunn Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I'm sure you still need your badges to at least be a manager in the SPL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Just appoint him "caretaker manager" then until he gets qualified. Canny tell me all stand ins have had a pro qualification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 'special dispensation' I think they call it. Means as long as you are in the process of getting your badges you can managd a club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellfan1984 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I don't think you do for the SPL anyway. I know you need coaching badges but wasn't there someone recently that managed in the SPL but couldn't do Europe or something as such - or had to rush their Pro-Licence or something?

Joeboy Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I want the next Motherwell manager NOT the next manager of Everton or any other club. Fair enough, I'm sure we'd all like to see a highly successful manager who will stay with us for the next ten years, qualifying for Europe consistently, winning the odd cup, but we're Motherwell it's not going to happen. A long term manager at Motherwell, in this day and age, is one with limited ability or lack of ambition. Terry Butcher you could say was different, but I think this is his level, where perhaps the likes of Gannon or Brown could manage at perhaps a higher level, but even when he left Motherwell I felt he had taken us as far as he could and a fresh face would be good (although looking back, given that fresh face was Malpas I was wrong). If the push comes to the shove, and you offered me a loyal, stable manager like perhaps Gus MacPherson who managed us to 9th and 10th place finishes year after year, or what we've had recently, I'd taken recent events in a second, albeit we've been left with a sour taste in our mouths at times. Loyalty is so rare in football now, I think I'd much rather see us gub a team 8-1 in Europe, than watch us get narrowly beaten by a Championship team in a friendly played at snail's pace. A manager with ambition to further himself tends to hold us in good stead, if you take our past four managers for example. McGhee left us in far better shape than Malpas did, Gannon left us in far better shape than McGhee did, Brown left us in far better shape than Gannon did. If we appoint the right manager and he does a good job and continues to move the club forward, if after a season or two a bigger club comes in for him, I wouldn't hold any grudges, providing he conducted it in a dignified manner. I'd much rather than than see the club stagnate under a "stable" manager. Whoever the new manager is, whatever is background or previous experience is, I for one will be getting right behind him. As long as it's not Mark McGhee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk2205 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 If the choice is between Stubbs, Sutton and McCall...Well, lets lock the fucking gates and call it a day. Stubbs, non entity, dopey. Next year we have the possibility of three teams being relegated. Its not the time to give some former old firm diddy his first shot at the big time. Have a go at some English league 2 side as MFC cant afford to be sitting in division 1/SPL 2 come 2012. Sutton....this says it all. Tried the League 2 formula and failed McCall. The only thing this ginger tit has done is fall off a motor. Decisions, Decisions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star sail Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I can't believe the shit about inexperiance on this site! Probably someone, who will become Barcelona's most successful manager of all time would have been boo'd and chastised if he was ours as he didn't have any experiance either. What about the other top league managers, especially probably the best in the world - Mourinho, if SL Benfica ( a much bigger, and a team with so much more to lose than us) didn't take a shot at this guy with no experiance in management when would he appeared? Agreed. As someone mentioned a few pages back it was not long ago on these boards that the names Lambert and Coyle were getting scoffed at for lack of experience, not having managed at the correct level etc, etc. Motherwell need to take chances just to stand still. If it is Stubbs then Boyle must see or know something we don't. I'll go with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daver Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I still think there's a good chance Boyle will do his usual and surpise us all with someone nobody's mentioned. I can see it being someone with good contacts for loan deals as we've done well with those recently and I would be surprised if it is a rookie. We've had managers starting their career with us who have gone on to much bigger and better things eg. Davies and particularly McLeish. Unfortunately, by starting with us that's where they've made their mistakes - I'm not sure I want us to be the club for new managers to make their mistakes at again.
