joewarkfanclub Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 So Sbragia is tbe man we want. According to tbe BBC Stubbs wasn't intetviewed. Hartson? I would be raging if he became our manager. I totally agree with that! He has no coaching or management experience and any time he did the summarising on the tv I thought he was watching a different game than I was. Not impressive when talking about the game at all, any of the other names mentioned would be preferrable to that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderpig Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Maybe JB is holding off announcing the new manager and is waiting for George Burley to be available http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/...ips-owners.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotts Well Fan Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Freudian Slip!!!!! Butcher urges Rooney to accept new deal Motherwell manager Terry Butcher says Adam Rooney risks gambling his future if he does not put pen-to-paper on a new deal that it is one of the most "substantial" in the club's history.

Modernist Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Take of these post's what you will........... Scott Burns again. (Express) Motherwell chairman John Boyle has turned to advice from his senior players after he failed to reach an agreement with Ricky Sbragia.

Modernist Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Boyle is pondering whether or not to make a short-term appointment after yesterday's set-back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modernist Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 He has asked Stephen Craigan, Stevie Hammell and Keith Lasley their thoughts and whether or not the club need to make a quick appointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welldaft Mk1 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Well if that is true it would be a bit of a bummer. I am sure they don't advertise the salary, but if Sgrabia has any ambitions to ACTUALLY become a manager then he should take this job. If he is any good he will get a move to a bigger club in time. Sometimes though people bottle it amd don't have faith in their ability despite going after the job.... Still all conjecture at this stage.but the silence is deafening as they say!!

Finlay Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 A quick short term appointment would be a concern after two weeks of receiving applications and conducting interviews. If Plan A has fallen through and it looks like no one man in particular is plan B it is either McCall or Calderwood, people who are unemployed who will probably accept the financial liabilities of the club. Just the way I see it mind.......but a wee but if concern creeping in if recent reports are true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobey_Dosser Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 So are Clyde claiming that it will be Sbragia? If we to go down the interim route, which I had heard was Boyle's original idea, then Tommy McLean must be in with a shout. Personally, if the top candidate(s) have knocked it back then I'd be content to go with McCall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Stephen Craigan was on BBC Radio Scotland last night. He said the current situation was unsettling the squad, outside of training, and he hopes they have someone in soon. Pretty surprised to hear those comments so I'd expect something to happen soon. Hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welldaft Mk1 Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 sbragia offered job turned it down, players not asked for their opinions Chr1st knows whats going on....it is like Eastenders, only the plot and script is even slower. Until we hear officially; a) Have we really offered Sbragia the job and has he turned it down? b) If he has turned it down is it for good or as part of negotiations and we will hopefully reach agreement? c) If it is for good, then surely we had someone else in mind for just such an eventuality I am getting impatient and bored in equal measure!

Well73 Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 The board will sort this out, I have no fear of that. This is all speculation right now and if we all panic we will start to belive our own hype and tie ourself in knots. Whoever it is will get my 100% backing whenever that may be if its before boxing day great and if its later then also great. I just want the right person for the job. Merry Christmas to one and all MON THE WELL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Grew Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 I really don't know why Boyle is pissing around with someone like Sbragia (if true) or some of the others mentioned. We don't want and don't need another guy coming in for a short spell on his way 'to bigger and better things'. That's why we are where we are - looking for a manager every couple of years. Boyle's track record with managers stinks in this respect. Get someone sorted who wants the job for what it is and is willing to commit themselves to it without keeping one eye on the 'bigger and better football club managers gazette'. For me Jimmy Calderwood fits the bill. He's been as high as he is ever likely to be in the SPL with Aberdeen and lets face if they are extermely unlikely to ever try to get him back. The only other job that he might be interested in would be Rangers and again I doubt very much if he's on their radar. He knows what it takes - had Aberdeen never out of the top 4 when there and managed to get them to the group stages of the Europa League. What more could we want?

lennyhenry Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 That's why we are where we Challenging for Europe every season! Having a manager here for a year isn't ideal, however we have been in a lot worse situations. The most importamt factor is the guy is a good manager. If he is ambitious and sees this as a move to bigger and better things then fine... as long as he is able to deliver the goods for motherwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellfan1984 Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 He knows what it takes - had Aberdeen never out of the top 4 when there and managed to get them to the group stages of the Europa League. What more could we want? What more could we want? Meh. What more could he want? A few hundred grand to spend on players and a small fortune in wages for new players.... Reason why he isn't current Kilmarnock manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calderwood, not too long ago, said he was bored with the SPL and needed to work in a different league. If that's the case then he doesn't meet your criteria as it sounds like he will be heading south (or back to Europe) sooner or later.

They churn out theories, but have been way off the mark many times. The Board does a great job in keeping things under wraps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwellhighland Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 All this chat about Motherwell looking for a longterm manager means the likes of Gus McPherson or Billy Reid. Fuck that. Bring in someone with ambition who if they move to a higher level in a year or two were obviously doing something right with us. If they're bellends like McGhee and Brown who move down a level we can laugh or if they move up a level to the Championship we can say job well done and next. I'll take that over a Billy Reid anyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
