ScottishLoon Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 The whole idea in the country now that almost every older experienced manager is a football dinosaur and also this revisionist attitude towards every manager who doesn't have complete success everywhere is getting laughable, imagine trying to say Jim McInally is bad manager I know it's easy to compare but it's very rare to get someone like a dick Campbell or Stewart Petrie who can build a club for years and even they've been levelling out recently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll play devil's advocate here, what would you say he's done that makes him a good manager?

Two things, one being he's won 3 league titles the other being when he was at east Stirling who had been finishing bottom of Scottish football for 5 out of 6 years only year they didn't was because of us, he got them finishing 3rd twice in a row and the first time they did was the first time they'd finished higher than 4th for almost 30 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be noted he had a huge budget at Shire that had never been seen in all the years of finishing bottom. Comparing apples and oranges there. It's a budget that should have achieved promotion in all honesty. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit rich to say other fans have a revisionist attitude and then come out with this. Neilly is spot on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Jim McInally had guys like Rory McAllister scoring about 30 goals a season when he was winning league with Peterheid. They always seemed to have very good financial backing for that level. I really don’t understand the clamour for him personally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morton: big budget, achieved what was expected at second time of asking, then bolted when they were 9th in the championship. He left, Morton survived. Peterhead: massive budgets, and Rory MacAllister. Pumped 7-2 by Gary Bollans Forfar in a play off final. Relegated as often as he was promoted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilly is spot on. A big difference to people always looking at the negatives than people trying to look at positives, there's nothing to gain from pointing out all the negatives to every manager name that's discussed before anyone's even in a job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loon From Outta Toon Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 We’re gonna end up with Stevie Fallon taking over as manager anyway. so this talk about mcinally is all pointless. either way it’ll be a backwards step from the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoonsYouthTeam Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Yeah, not too enamoured my McInally. Bottled things at Morton and although Peterhead were steady in League One for a lot of his time, the budget he had was a very good one. Don't think he'd be terrible, just very meh. That being said, I'm not sure who's out there that isn't meh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Spencer Fearn chucked money at The Shire and best they got was a playoff semi final skelping from us, they signed a lot of players who'd been decent players in the league above 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were hanging on against them after going 2-0 up and got a late winner, a Stephen Tulloch header if I mind right. That Shire team played some decent football whenever I seen them. I think he'd be a solid appointment and a good fit for the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
