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).
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.
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.
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.
I don't disagree about the Dutch system, but any manager that has tried anything as progressive as that has been rejected by the Scottish pros. John Collins springs to mind.
Imagine what it would be like to see a Motherwell player transferred to an OF team for real, instead of a fat-managers charity kick around.
Unthinkable.
I also used to hate it when guys like Davie Cooper, Bobby Russell, Tommy Coyne and Owen Coyle lay down against the OF to help their mates' goal difference and league position.
