Who is he going to bring then, has he not always had McElhone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finlay21 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Could this be the reason it’s taken so long as Morton have been working in the background to replace McElhone, I find it strange they have announced a new manager tonight and we are announcing ours in morning 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 Who is he going to bring then, has he not always had McElhone?At Bradford and Morton, yes. The guy has had a good career though so I’d imagine he’d be able to bring in someone else to assist him. I think that says 'give us some money to release him' tbh.I really don’t want us to be spending money on a glorified PE teacher tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanayr1987 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) I’m hoping that if it was going to be hopkin that not getting his assistant puts him off and we end up going for someone else. Just not sure on him Edited March 10, 2021 by ryanayr1987 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_M Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Well, I certainly wasn't expecting to find out about a new Morton manager from this thread. Happy to have an actual manager, not particularly happy with the choice. I wouldn't read anything into the Morton statement re: McElhone staying. Unlikely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I'm presuming it's not linked to us and our search at all. Unless they were banking on us getting Hopkin & him wanting Anton with him, and either, he doesn't or we haven't gone for Hopkin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There probably was better candidates however they were probably too expensive in terms of wages and playing budget they'd have been looking for 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Without wanting to write off whoever it is before they’re even in the door I’ll be pretty underwhelmed if it’s Hopkin. Maybe a bit less so if there’s a DoF type brought in. I’d prefer McIntyre if it’s a choice between the two. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
