Motherwell v Hearts 25/10/2026

[MJC]

McGlynn is a proper manager, AJ is a coach.

Galling to see Falkirk absolutely sweep Hearts aside on their own patch when we are scraping draws at Tannadice and patting ourselves on the back for it.

Also, Hearts have just one win in their last eight. Against us.

And Dundee Utd have just one defeat in their last eight. Against us.

Spooky.

You expected us to lose so surely a draw was a positive? And I dont think scraping a draw is accurate

McGlynn's "proper manager" approach earned Falkirk a 0 - 0 at Fir Park. 

I think he's a great fit at Falkirk, but have no idea how he'd fare at Fir Park. His record at Hearts was poor and at Livi was fair to middling.

McGlynn, like Robinson, would be an idiot to go there. 

Let him go there then

What does that even mean?

The days of football managers having control and responsibility for absolutely everything to do with the playing side of a football club are long gone.

Most clubs (even us!) have a Head/Director of football,  a team of analysts, sports scientists, and other individuals who assist them with the day to day running of the football department.

Most modern managers are in fact just "Head Coaches".

McGlynn is currently doing very well at a club that suits him. But lets not forget that he is coming towards the end of a somewhat ordinary managerial career during which he underwent an epiphany working under Brendan Rogers at Celtic.

Before that, he was just another one of many average Scottish managers on the merry-go-round that would have been chased by our fans had he been suggested 10 years ago.

Thats not to discredit his current achievements. Merely giving them context.

Alfred on the other hand is a very young ambitious coach at the start of his career. Who is to say where he will end up at this stage.
