Drew Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 My last message on the subject. I mentioned Butcher because there has been some suggestion, on this thread, he withdrew his candidacy from Motherwell as an indication he could prefer Saints. As to whether or not Butcher or McCall take over at Ibrokes and I couldn't care less, I wish whomever takes over the job the very worst of fortune. I concur.

As to whether or not Butcher or McCall take over at Ibrokes and I couldn't care less, I wish whomever takes over the job the very worst of fortune. What I read was that Butcher withdrew his application because he was upset at the 'interview process' - whatever that means. Also read elsewhere that he wanted Malpass with him and Well didn't. Only Butcher knows why he withdrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pod Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Wonder how long this process will take. Don't really want a long drawn out affair that takes weeks, ideally someone should be in for the 'Well game, unless we beat this mob on Sunday. Look what happened the last time we rushed into it.

pozbaird Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 I'd take McCoist at our place in a heartbeat - as long as it was as a speaker at a dinner - he'd be good value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isle Of Bute Saint Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Not to mention the coaching at the new club has been widely ridiculed by everyone, including their own fans. McDowell is part of that coaching set up. No thanks. McDowell is a known keep fit fanatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pod Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Spoke to ginge a few tines over the years whilst on nights out in glasgow he genuinely hates st mirren. He's Morton through Abd through Why would that stop him from taking a step up to the mighty saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray7 Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Rumours floating about that McCall rejected us because he knew that McCoist was offering in his resignation this week. Think Gilmour will go back in for him again now that McCoist is staying at Rangers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie88 Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 The odds must favour McCall for the sevco hotseat, no? In saying that, I think their support would be happy enough with Butcher. Either or is a safe bet, but McCall seems more likely to me. You would think the two obvious choices for The Rangers would be McCall or Butcher. Although, one of my mates were working at ibrox today and he said the Dennis Wise was there all day. I went down to stick a few quid on it just incase expecting the odds to be huge but he's 6/1 and third favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that's probably the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, although I wouldn't have even thought about him tbh. The fact that he's third fav would suggest people are betting on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Simpson Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Who are we going to go for though? Top Cat: quite an interesting stat that about the lack of experienced top flight managers going back to Davie Hay. Although Tony Fitz did have some experience. What I have found particularly interesting is that there appears to be lines drawn between the senior players, especially from what was said on the extensive BBC piece earlier in the week. Goody appears to be out of the frame entirely. For all his failings he always comes across as a leader, if not always by example. Gary was certainly talked up in terms of coaching ability at the time of TC's appointment and hopefully does a very good job, but will it mean an end of playing commitments? It was interesting to hear Thommo's comments though. He left things open as to whether he would take the job now. He did however day he was right behind Gary but the two interviews with both stating they either want or couldn't turn the opportunity down in quick succession was interesting to hear. Is there a split in the dressing room? I hope Gary and David do a great job in the meantime... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donport Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 TBH Teale was already stated as being a low appearance option as a player this season so it won't really make much difference ,however we need to get a new manager and clear out the old baggage and start afresh in my opinion........ which rules out the aforementioned players currently at the club ...end of!

It would only be natural if Thommo (and Goodwin) harbored a bit of resentment and (being 2 of our key players for the rest of the season) it would be less than surprising if that affected their performances on the pitch. We can't afford to have any player not playing to his full potential in view of the desperate situation we are in at present. SG and the BoD will have to give this issue very careful consideration.

I reckon the BoD will know better than to appoint without some form of structured recruitment process. Once bitten. Then again.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
