Derry Alli Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) I've no idea why Coyle would "inspire confidence". He's outspending most of the league and likes to play it off as underdog mentalists. Then when he drops points he spits his dummy out and kicks his legs about like a 4 year old. He's regularly laughed at in the Championship when his post match interviews are posted. Edited February 12, 2023 by Derry Alli 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t strike me as captain material and wouldn’t wholly inspire me if I was a Motherwell fan. Could see how much he was hurting though, which is one thing, I guess Liam Kelly looks for coded messages in gaffer tapped inspirational messages. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose there are plenty out of work managers. ’Well quite often go leftfield. Not sure if that’s Alan Burrows historically? You’ll know better than me. Obviously he’ll not get a say when he’s essentially working his notice for the next two weeks. I’d also like to know how much influence he’ll have in recruiting Aberdeen’s new boss. He’d be senior to the Director of Football, so I’d think he’ll be in discussions privately with Dave Cormack already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowsdower Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) It's not really a burrows thing. The left field appointments have been going on since McLean left, but it's been a mix. Mcleish - was still an Aberdeen player at the time Kampmann - managed the MYPA team that put us out of Europe. Davies - was a current player Black - more of a normal kind of hire, could speak French. Butcher - current assistant Malpas - current assistant, Donald duck. McGhee - bit of a coup at the time Gannon - f**k sake/soap/soot Brown - think him and Knox just happened to be walking by McCall - kind of out of nowhere, won the fans over with emails, loved a right back. Baraclough - see Gannon, stegosaurus McGhee - was that allowed? Robinson - current and previous assistant Alexander - insert unrelated life lesson here Hammell - cheaper than Simo So 7(seven) of our last 15 managers were in employment when we hired them, 5 who were working for us at the time. Kampmann looks to be the only manager we've taken off another team (can't remember if Gannon had been sacked by Stockport).

He tried to talk both McCall and Robinson out of leaving, adding that to this season makes me think Alan can't be arsed hiring managers. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapowzer Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) On the theme of other posters. McInnes at Killie, vastly experienced manager at this level not able to get a tune out his players. Mackay in Dingwall, vastly experienced manager and unable to get a tune out his players. I’d echo, Dundee United I don’t get in the slightest but you could suggest rookie manager is the cause like us. Hammell with a healthy ish GD of -11 (compared to the other bottom feeders) says in theory we have the squad to keep us up if correctly coached as in theory we’re not cut adrift. But to be fair if it wasn’t for August we’d be a basket case already. But we are also not in need of fine tweaking. We are also a 6-0 drubbing away from being among the others in fairness. How did the Hunnorum not bury that team at Ibrox in December? Edited February 12, 2023 by Kapowzer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 it's probably wise to take anything on Motherwell Twitter with a pinch of salt, but where does "stadium announcer" rank as far as ITK? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kapowzer Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I’m currently in a quandary to determine if there’s f**k all going on behind the scenes at Motherwell or a typhoon of activity. I genuinely can’t tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I know there's been a fair bit of chat about us signing 9 players in January but it's worth mentioning that only 3 of them are actually signings beyond the summer (Blaney, Danzaki and Butcher). Here's who's OOC in the summer: O'Donnell, Carroll, McGinn, Johnston, Casey, Cornelius, Goss, Efford, Aitchison, Mandron Loans expire: Furlong, Crankshaw, McKinstry, Obika 14 players in total. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one m in Motherwell Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I could see all of them going, perhaps with the exception of Cornelius - presumably we’ll offer terms to Johnston but he’ll likely see himself elsewhere. The prospect of having to build a team around Lamie is quite distressing however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
