underboyleheating Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 "Hello Mr Boyle" ....(shake hands) Off topic, however, having shook Mr Boyle’s hand on a few occasions he must have one of the limpest handshakes in the world.

daver Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 With the last few appointments, was the announcement the first we knew about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizoxy Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 If my memory is correct, we installed Davies, Butcher and Malpas immediately on announcing their predecessors being sacked, but McGhee, McCall and Gannon were all out of nowhere. I am sure that when we appointed McLeish, Kampmann and Black the papers had the story a few days in advance, and had their names mentioned. I have released memories I shouldn't have, off to sit in a dark room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have released memories I shouldn't have, off to sit in a dark room. I remember writing in a fanzine that the Daily Record named 22 people before McLeish (none of the 22 were 'McLeish') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Ardiles has applied twice previously, and not been interviewed either time. Even if he did get interviewed I doubt anyone would have a clue what the fuck he's saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzyB Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Nah, not a theory either...was only trying to have a laugh. I very much doubt that Mr Boyle has or ever will be a member of a Masonic Lodge! Well he did vote no... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Wouldn't take much of a bet to influence the price on a market like this. Wouldn't read too much into it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he's a stick on, but he is very interested and I gather we'll listen to what he has to offer. A very reliable source who told me McGhee was going to be our manager well before it was announced. A very unexpected discussion over the phone about it tonight.

GazzyB Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 From Wikipedia... In June 2005, Roberts was appointed manager of Clyde. He only had three players under contract, and held open trials in an attempt to get new players. Roberts gave the supporters their greatest day in years, when his Clyde side defeated Celtic in the Scottish Cup in January 2006.[3] Earlier in the season, Clyde took Rangersto extra time at Ibrox Stadium in the Scottish League Cup. Roberts was sacked by Clyde in August 2006 after allegations he made racist remarks.[3] An employment tribunal found that the allegations were "either highly exaggerated or possibly not true" and awarded Roberts £32,000 compensation for unfair dismissal.[3]In September 2010, he was hired as consultant to the Pakistan national football team to assist the coaching staff.[4] Roberts was appointed as head coach in the following month.[5] He then joined the Nepal national football team in January 2011. In March 2012 he stepped down as coach after a 3-0 defeat to Turkmenistan in the 2012 AFC Challenge Cup.[6] It is said that he was unhappy about Nepal Army "conscripting" two of their players and it played a part in his resignation.

punk_in_drublic Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I'd rather have Adams, Leitch, Calderwood...anybody really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Jesus H Christ. Has he expressed an interest as well? To be honest, none of the names that have been mentioned as favourites recently have inspired any real enthusiasm. Have to figure that whoever we end up with will have a fair bit to do to win over the fans. I reckon that Kenny Black will be in charge until the ownership issue is clarified anyway...

Having said that, and it's not exclusive to Motherwell, Jose Mourinho could be mentioned and some folk would still moan. For example Jimmy Calderwoods CV is pretty impressive, he was the last manager before McInness to get Aberdeen in the top 6, and did it every year, took them to the knockout stages of the Europa league...

superward Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I am sure I remember a lot of people being none to impressed with McGhee, Gannon, Brown and McCall. 3 of them worked out fairly well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daver Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 When Calderwood was mentioned I originally thought which one. If folk have the fear about Jimmy then I dread to think of the reaction to Colin being mooted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Up For It! Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Jimmy Calderwood wouldn't be my first choice....but rather him over half the names that have been mentioned here! He has a very decent record and would bring stability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 No track record of working with no resources! I do agree with that point, both Dunfermline and Aberdeen were spending decent money on experienced players during his tenure. It was just an example of some positives for a random candidate, as every name mentioned is met with a negative reaction. The reality is, we are Motherwell, most of the candidates are going to be inexperienced, or have some black marks on their CV. Someone at the very bottom on the way up, or someone trying to get back up after being knocked down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more time passes and with the uncertainty regarding the Well Society and possible consortiums, the more I suspect we'll be going with Kenny Black until this uncertainty is resolved. Who would want the job right now with talk of takeovers? Job security in football management is poor at the best of times but with talk of the Society not making its target and foreign owners, you'd need to be a lunatic to take the Motherwell job right now...

1991 Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I would rather stick with Kenny Black and bring in Leitch as assistant for short term than bring in Adams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
