[Uncle Buck]

Everybody underachieves at Wolves

Dave Jones got them into the Premiership.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

You look a wee bit silly keep using the phrase "wee bit silly"

its an ironic slant on a scottish phrase , get up to speed

 

[Marshy]

I was never a massive fan of Mcghee although he did a reasonable job with us.

He is certainly doing very well at Motherwell though, i bet he would be interested.

 

[NMH]

its an ironic slant on the scottish phrase; get up to pee

After a couple of McEwans, this makes much more sense.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Piers, I think he has virtually rebuilt the team at Motherwell.

Hardly rebuilt the team, he has signed 4 players since he arrived at the club.

 

[Icy Gull]

Dave Jones got them into the Premiership.

and then what happened? So ONE manager succeeded where McGhee and a host of others had failed, including a much vaunted ex England manager, not really a massive failure is it, afterall only 3 teams can get promoted and MM has got a whole host of clubs promoted. Far far more good than bad, but I just know you won't agree so we're gonna keep going round in circles on this one.

 

[Mendoza]

NIgel Quashie will have no chance of getting into the team with him in charge

However of the 3 clubs he has got promoted, I would argue in their promotion seasons, the only one that could regarded as McGhee's team was Reading. He took over from Keith Stevens at Millwall during the season and they went up and he took over from Coppell here (where we had been top) and he took us up via the play offs.

 

[Brixtaan]

McGhee is a superb manager and did great things at Albion. He has exceeded all expectations at Motherwell and they are having their best season in the clubs history and were expected to finsih 2nd bottom. He would be a great Scotland manager and that would make all the people who drove this great manager out of our club look a wee bit silly imho.

Well said.Come on Scotland!

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

ALL the money is going on McGhee backed down from 25/1 to 10/1 today.

McGhee 6/1 with Ladbrokes.

[Uncle Spielberg]

The Scots don't seem to think so, we are the clowns for getting rid of him

 

[Uncle Buck]

Here we go again...

 

[Wozza]

Departing Scotland manager Alex McLeish has recommended that Motherwell boss Mark McGhee replace him. (Scottish Sun)

... to make him look good.

does the sun ever come out, in scotland?!

He took over from Keith Stevens at Millwall during the season and they went up and he took over from Coppell here (where we had been top) and he took us up via the play offs.

We were no longer top when McGhee took us over and by the time he had a couple of games in charge we had dropped to about 8th. He had also lost Henderson (back at Reading) and Rodger (to injury) who were two key players.

I would suggest that you are the one obsessed by McGhee as you still mention him in your signature. Now that he is gone, why not accept he did a good job in taking us up and keeping us up before we struggled (unsurprisingly) after losing a few players the next season. In hindsight, it was probably the right time for him to go but why keep slagging him off now.

Each to their own. My signature is just there.

It was time for to go, just it was left too late and it is only this season that we have started to turn things around. I guess he is one of those managers that even where he has ultimately failed, he stills gets another job.

 

[Da Man Clay]

He hardly ulimately failed here did he. Took the club to their highest position in over two decades. Was time for him to go but not as a failure.
