Phillips455 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Wright is seriously the only manager i believe who would be able to help out in this situation and improve on going forward. If there is anyone that we should be going for then it should be him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisGRAEME Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I'd absolutely buckle if we hired Levein, so on that front, yes please. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Just now, thisGRAEME said: Charlie Adam said he'd take the Celtic job, so we can rule him out I think. Surprising to see staunch Charlie putting himself forward for the Celtic gig tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 2 minutes ago, Well Well said: If he couldn't get the players motivated and hungry in the last year as the assistant manager and first team coach what makes you think he has what it takes to change things??. I am not having a go but genuinely concerned that the players will not give a shit or change their attitudes with the same staff Lasley knows the club inside out. Knows how to play the "Motherwell way". Lasley as manager, McFadden as assistant, pls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this - if every managerial appointment is a gamble, this would would be the safest bet we could have. Probably wouldn't be very exciting but we haven't had any excitement this year anyway, so that isn't a problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I think relegation is a very real possibility now tbh. Even in a worst case scenario under Robinson I think we'd probably have stuttered along to 10th or 11th eventually but this has chucked a massive unknown into the mix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 On paper, this just seemed like Robinson's Motherwell's standard awful spell before finishing nowhere near relegation. What's different this time?I've not seen Motherwell play since either the derby in August or the Hibs game on Sky (whichever came first). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one m in Motherwell Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Valakari/Nijholt as co-managers. Shivute as chief scout. Andy Roddie, John Davies and Ange Ouefio as tea-boys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukDukGoose Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 50 minutes ago, thisGRAEME said: Fair enough like. That's always really been the case, though. The years we've finished 2nd and 3rd have obviously been in a big part, us being quite good, but also us taking advantage of other teams being bad. 2012-13 for example, we finished second, 7 points clear of St. Johnstone and 8 of Inverness. United 6th, Hibs 7th, Aberdeen 8th, Hearts 10th and Rangers 33rd. Had last season gone the distance, I feel that Aberdeen and possibly Livi would've overhauled us. Well it's all redundant now anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Well Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 No one currently connected with the club should bother applying. If they couldn't motivate the players in their current position they never will as manager. We need a new broom someone who will tear a new hole in some of these players attitude and desire to win or move them on sharpish. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the Accies game where we huffed and puffed for 90 minutes, not scoring, before giving away a daft goal at the other end and losing the game? Well, that's happened a lot this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee-Bey Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Surprised at the level of 'Robinson out'. Sure it's been a bad year, but there's plenty credit in the bank no ? I couldn't see Motherwell going down under Robinson, but now you're throwing another unknown in there. Has he genuinely jumped, or is there a bit of mutal here ? Wright the obvious replacement, Levein the banter one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casagolda Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 16 minutes ago, Swello said: I'm not convinced this was needed and I liked him as a manager - but our record in 2020 is undeniably poor, so it is maybe understandable. I guess we won't find out if this was an actual resignation or if it was a "resignation" but I didn't think we were quite at the pitchforks and flaming torches on Fir Park St yet... This is where I’m at too tbh. We matched Aberdeen for the most part and should have been out of sight against Utd on Saturday- two of the ‘better’ teams in the league. Even last night we looked half decent right up until Killie scored. We look badly lacking in confidence but we were still competitive and didn’t look a million miles away. Scraping a win from somewhere plus a shrewd signing or two in January would have made all the difference imho. It’s certainly a far cry from where we were when he took over from McGhee- who lost his last 4 games by an aggregate score of 17-2. However, last night he had a look of a beaten man about him. All managers have a shelf life, maybe he’s been down this road once too often and doesn’t have the fight left in him to turn it round again. If that’s the case, fair play to him for stepping aside. As has already been said, he’s done a fantastic job overall and although it might have been time, I’m still saddened to see him go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
