I know he comes with considerable baggage but from the football point of view would he be okay? He did well in England with Watford and Cardiff and has done reasonably with Ross County. Ross County are 2nd from bottom, currently locked in a dog fight 4 or 5 other clubs. He's not exactly punching above his weight with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said I dont think Malky would be a good choice. He offers nothing different and I cant see the Aberdeen fans being happy. From the outside it appears that most Dons fans want either somebody from abroad or somebody with abit of experience in England but maybe looking to kick start their career again (ie Wilder) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him and board to try and get someone in and not the old Scottish merry go round. I would love to see Aberdeen or any other get nearer to the OF and challenging again.

On the rare occasion a team goes above an old firm team in the league it's regarded as a crisis and that set of fans go ape shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the outside it appears that most Dons fans want either somebody from abroad or somebody with abit of experience in England but maybe looking to kick start their career again (ie Wilder) I’m pretty sure Roy McGregor has invested quite heavily in the player budget in the past. They were certainly spending mid table money if not top 6, it’s the main reason Ming the merciless got the tin tack. Unless he has scaled it back County are underperforming this season. Aberdeen certainly shouldn’t be going in for McKay. As @dandydunnhas said they need to get off the Scottish managerial merry go round and show some imagination this time.

mr mojo risin Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Who knows? Lots of guys like Stephen Robinson are so up and down with their level of success - hopefully someone who can be consistent for a few years, someone so good that we end up losing him higher up the food chain in 3 or 4 years. Can't see anyone with any real ambition coming to any of the 40 diddy clubs unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This quote from the Scottish sun 😂😂. There's zero pressure to deliver a manager for the next match, it's a match every aberdeen fan has already written off😂 Dons chairman Dave Cormack - - is under real pressure to deliver a new manager before the club's next game against Celtic in Glasgow on February 18.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will always have chequered records. One prerequisite should be a manager who doesn't get excited at an away OF fixtures just because he played or supports them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extraordinary. Not sure what qualifications you need to be a Chief Executive. He is a die hard Well fan but not sure how else he qualified for the job, not that I'm saying it's an easy gig. Oh and he's best of buddies with Mark McGhee. A return for Dons legend perhaps 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he did some photography/articles on the club. First I heard of him was when Mark McGhee took him to do this on a pre season tour of Austria. Motherwell are in an absolute mess at the moment. When you move on in a job like this surely you should be leaving your previous job in an improved state of affairs. We've went back years and heading for relegation. There is unrest among the fans and it's not just about what is happening on the pitch. The old pals act appointments at Fir Park are a joke.

Och Aye Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) So just to clarify. Motherwell are a shambles on the pitch. Unrest in the dressing room. Managerial appointments have been awful (Stephen Robinson exception and that wasn't a straight appointment). Financial results terrible. Club/fan relationship at a real low and becoming toxic. Then someone at Aberdeen thinks we fancy a piece of this, lets get their CEO. As much as I'm despairing about Motherwell Dons fans must thinking - Whit the fu#k Edited February 8, 2023 by Och Aye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slasher Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) Now that Wilder is ruled out, any thoughts on the new Head Shepherd? I noticed no one responded to @morrie21suggestion of Vahid Halilhodzic. I don’t see anyone throwing any new names at it.

I only became aware of him just before the World Cup. Pre-tournament research into Morocco. I discovered Halilhodzic was the man who qualified them but then was bulleted after a serious falling out with the Federation. Did some research on him with a view to a separate article on the man and he has quite the chequered history. Still haven't gotten around to the article ha.

Unless there is significant investment in the playing squad, coaching, and management position it will be the same old scenario playing out repeatedly, change of manger after 6 months to a year or 2 etc. That’s the reality for non old firm clubs.
