Mr. Kilt Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Wonder if he'll continue in his Scotland role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRBear Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Think it was mentioned McDowell won't be a part of the backroom staff which is a relief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 McCall will bring organisation, enthusiasm and a certain level of intimidation into the dressing room and I think he'll be a bit more adventurous with his team selection. ... ...and will be able to ensure he's not seen by the players as one of the boys. I'd suggest he'll do none of the above, as described in my last post. I liked him, but the lack of all those qualities you are talking about is why it went so spectacularly tits up at motherwell!

TartanTeddy Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) I'd suggest he'll do none of the above, as described in my last post. I liked him, but the lack of all those qualities you are talking about is why it went so spectacularly tits up at motherwell! I'm asking because I don't know but where did Motherwell finish in each of his seasons there? I know the last year he was there it wasn't good, but I was under the impression that the club did OK during his tenure? TT Edit to say (according to Wiki) it was 3rd, 2nd, 2nd in the SPL - which I have to say I didn't know but happy to see!

TartanTeddy Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 So is his wage on top of what Fat lad and agent Kenny are already getting paid and what will his salary be? It's a billion a year with bonuses, but he has to pay 75% of that to Charles Green Or to put it another way, in the grand scheme of things, who really gives a toss what he gets paid for three months!

I like Stuart McCall, and he did a great job, BUT he has his weaknesses, very similar to the weaknesses that Ally Mccoist has. I don't know if he's the right guy to come in and change things? I think he'd be a good guy to come in when things were going well, and keep the momentum going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddardStark Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 McDowall had to be replaced It would have been negligent not to make the change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus_Young Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 McDowall had to be replaced It would have been negligent not to make the change. I agree. But do you honestly see this being the short term deal that is being touted? A decent run of results and he will get it on a longer contract. Nowt surer.

A decent run of results and he will get it on a longer contract. Nowt surer. I think that goes without saying. I'm also not sure that it's such a bad thing. Turn the team around and earn a longer contract, don't and the club aren't saddled with a long contract or extended 'gardening leave'. Or a are you worried it might keep Morinho or Guardiola out of the running for next season? TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TartanTeddy Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Yes, yes. Get the token unionist in. Idiots. So who were the other options out there for a short term fix - genuinely interested to know who people think would have been a better fit?

TartanTeddy Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Uncle Walter? I think the second most likely move after McCall. But it doesn't give you any upside other than potential promotion as he would be off after that - McCall gives the upside that if he works he could remain in position. For me Billy Davies was the only other candidate after those two, and I think McCall has more upsides. TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
