stoney Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Was thinking to myself this morning how long ago the board decided that Calderwood was a goner. Lets be honest they probably knew after the dunfermline game that this was his last season and he would go in the summer, would it not have been prudent to give him the dunt then, thus allowing the new manager time to see his players over the the last 8 games to decided who was staying / going etc. Also it would have given him the whole summer to prepare the team for the pre-season and plenty of time to scout out players to bring to the club. The argument could be made i suppose that we couldnt have brought in a new manager until the summer anyway, but i just dont see the point in giving calderwood all those extra games if the decision had already been made. Seems like time wasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 No pleasing you, is there Stoney? Ah well, I'm sure Hughes will get right down to business as soon as he signs on the dotted line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superstar Tradesman Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Only an idiot couldn't see that sacking the manager whilst the team had a chance to qualify for Europe - thus making us a more attractive prospect in the summer for attracting a new manager - would think that he should have been binned 8 games ago. You're nae that idiot are you Stoney? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 Im sure micky mouse himself could have got us into europe with the run that united went on. How many of our games did we win since dunfermline? 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 From an extensive list of total and utter bollocks you have posted, that is one that stands out as complete fucking drivel. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Padre™ Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 2 wins, 4 draws, 3 losses (2 to Celtic, 1 to Rangers) It's not as bad as you're making out. You're quite good at putting your own spin on things rather than actually looking at what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoney Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 I'll remember that when you are sharpening the pitch fork. two wins in 9 games is murderous form, i'll bet teams at the bottom of the league bettered that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't playing against UTD, Hearts and Hibs. We matched everyone around us asides from the OF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajja Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 So have we established it as fact that the club had decided to get rid of JC after the cup game ? Your speculation is based entirely on that premise without knowing if it the case or not. If it were the case, which particular manager do you think would have accepted the role with a handful of games left to play ? I doubt very much McGhee would have. The entire post seems like a moot point to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 Say for example we were to take mcghee from motherwell, what did he have to play for in the last 6 games of the season? would have been the ideal time to try and get him in, if they are after him of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pitchfork you've whittled down to a toothpick with your constant sharpening so we'll just discard that if you don't mind. Given that the club still haven't found a replacement 2 weeks after they parted company with the management team who successfully made Europe and as Mickey Mouse is a fictional charactor; what makes you think: 1. Our form would have been any better than finishing in 4th? 2. We'd have replaced the management team any sooner? 3. Who would have looked after the squad in the meantime?

Any manager is going to want to see out the season at that stage and weigh up his options. There is absolutely no incentive to make that move. If you take it and Europe slips through your fingers then you have blown the job in the first 8 games with no time to recover. A manager is going to want at least half a season before the judgements come in unless they are coming in to fix something that if they failed would be accepted as being outwith their control (relegation for example). As you have pointed out so eloquently, mickey mouse could have steered us to Europe...imagine if McGhee hadn't. Your dream would be over before it began. Like I said...moot point.
