I think the last time the media and bookies got a sniff of our next gaffer was when Tommy McLean took over.

Change in betting just means some punter stuck a small wad of cash on it. With 50 or so applicants, plus non-applicants the club wants to speak to, I don't see Adams being close to favourite.

Rookie managers don't have a great track record at Fir Park. The last thing we need in our current position is someone who requires a few months to find their feet. FIFA badges, while not a waste of time, aren't worth a lot as nobody ever fails the course.

Aye, that's true. I would have thought someone from the Society with a bit of a business background could have crafted them a bit better.

If there are non-disclosure agreements in place (and there almost always is in these circumstances), nobody can say anything.

Calderwood is a better manager than many on here would have us believe. He has a decent record, and if he had led us to the Europa Cup group stages, he'd be a Motherwell legend. (still don't want him, though!)

The Well Society owning the club, in reality, just means that the Society will own the shares rather then Boyle. The structure of the club and the makeup of the Board isn't likely to change.

You get more leaked information when a new Pope's being chosen than when we pick a new manager.

As the most overrated player in history?

There's a Special GM of the Well Society on the 25th November whose agenda includes: 2. Review of Recent Events So I'm guessing that might provide some more insight. (Of course, if they ever managed to provide access to the meetings for non-local members, I might not even have to guess).

Gannon has been the manager of Northwich Victoria since the middle of last season.

Or the White Sox The number of South Americans that have done anything North or South of the border is pretty small. I'd be pretty sceptical about any such setup.

This is 21st century football. Applying is old school. His agent will have orchestrated that interview so he could confirm his interest and then have someone from the club put out feelers to see if his agent will ask him if he might want to speak to a representative about the possibility of discussing an interview.

Glad they got that one out of the way then...

I think the McCart issue is more to do with the fact he promised not to try and poach any MFC youngsters when he left and then went back on his word.

I think we rushed into signing Dan, and better options in the Ruddy/Randolph mode might have been available. He's certainly OK, but doesn't live up to the hype that so many built up after his loan stint.

.

Eh, no. As in zero management experience and zero indication he has any management talent. All our successful managers in recent times have cut their teeth elsewhere. The unsuccessful ones have mostly been rookies.

No rookies please.

We have a surprisingly good record up there in recent times.

He was, but I think he is just needing some game time to get match fit.

I think we will have a wee run over the winter that will push us towards top 6. Depending on the results this month, however, I reserve the right to change my mind on that.

Alternatively, you could sign up for 6 months, do a great job on low wages, get us in the top 6 and then get poached by a bigger club when your contract expires (and no compensation owed to us).

If it's anything like the last few times, a number of these candidates were put forward by their agents and then disappear very quickly when they discover the kind of financial constraints they'd be expected to work under.

We've lost our manager, so guaranteed a win. That's how it works, right? Just ask MJC.
