I'm probably what you'd describe as a McGhee fan. The way he guided the club after Phil's death (a fact that is forgotten all to readily by the people who assume him an arsehole) will stay with me to my dying day. Yes, I know a lot of shite came after it with him whoring himself out to every club under the sun but we're Motherwell ffs, get over it. (By the way he also turned down the Hearts job)
In saying that, I have been critical of his tactics in the past and certainly have been this season. I agree, there's not a fucking chance he would have gotten us through that play off, he holds the old firm on far too high a pedestal. In many ways we were lucky to have someone who didn't really know Scottish football at that time and was willing to play counter attacking football against 'them' to perfect effect. About the only thing Baraclough did right in his time here.
Imo McGhee will beat enough of the other diddies around us to keep us up. So should stick around until at least the end of the season. Do I trust him after that, well to a certain degree circumstances at the time will dictate, but no, probably not.
Genuine question to the McGhee out brigade. Who would you replace him with? Craigen?
