Kowalski Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 You'd be surprised. Plenty calls for him to GTF but I don't see anyone coming up with the solution once McGhee is gone. The solution is we get a manager in with a better track record of working on limited resources. Another part of the solution is that the board release more funds to the manager, whether it is McGhee or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I'm nae saying that 99 year old Pa Broon is in fact the answer to our problems, just that there must be someone better out there.

Well yes, if the board at least back the guy then fair enough but they clearly aren't prepared to do it. I hardly think the record of McGhee so far means wanting a change is a knee jerk sort of response either. The guts of the season are over, we have went backwards at some rate of knots even from a couple of months ago when we were merely inconsistent.

CtS Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Get a better manager? Like who? Would we not need to pay McGhee compensation if we were to sack him? Better managers cost money, something we sadly lack. If only all the retards had thought of that 12 months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggy89 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 If only all the retards had thought of that 12 months ago. It's OK it's all the players (and Jimmy's) fault, and it won't be long before there is a new protest group set up; ATPMGJISAFOB - All The Players Must Go Jimmy Is Still A Fat Orange Buffoon. Still we're probably our closest to winning something since Ebbe, do you get an open top bus tour for winning the Division 1 title? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CtS Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Rumour going about that George Burley has been approached. Outrageous if true. Mark McGhee must get another season, and he must be allowed to bring in at least 4 players of similar quality to Severin/Smith/Nicholson/Anderson. That means loosening the purse strings a bit and showing some ambition. New season, couple of decent signings, hopefully some renewed optimism amongst the support. We need to arrest this slump ASAP. Otherwise it's a depressing downward spiral which could change the club forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsr Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 McGhee has a 2 year contract then a rolling yearly contract. I think he'll still be here next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 If it is 2 years he probably will be. Though finding money to pay off managers has never really been a problem for AFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyBiscuit Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Source? Did well in his short spell at Hearts but totally ruined his reputation in the Scotland job. Did well with a team of players that he probably had no input into buying and the players were on wages we couldn't even begin to think about paying.

baggy89 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Rumour going about that George Burley has been approached. If true I wouldn't be disappointed. Got Ipswich promoted to the EPL with probably a quarter of the budget afforded to McGhee at Wolves. Was he not sitting top with Hearts when he got the dunt left by mutual consent after Mad Vlad took control, Hearts form then dipped and ended up second? If its not true, at least it's excellent Rocket bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jute Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Sacking McGhee = knee jerk imo and isn't the answer. Our problems are far more deep rooted than just the fitba manager. We'll just have to disagree on this one Sacking a manager who has only managed to win 8 out of 35 matches is not a knee jerk reaction. The McGhee experiement has clearly not worked. He was supposed to come in and build on the platform created by the previous manager to make 3rd ours, start mounting a serious challange to old firm and convert the cup fuck ups into final appearances. He has clearly failed to do that. In fact he has put us so far back that we will now stuggle to get back to level we were at before he came.

Jute Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 If only all the retards had thought of that 12 months ago. Just because McGhee's appointment has not worked does not mean sacking Calderwood was wrong. He had failed misserably in the cups and fact we finished 4th winning only 5 games from January to May was more a reflection on the rest of the league (the new Scotland manager especially) than JCs management.

CtS Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 And that's your opinion, I understand what you're saying but I don't agree with your last 2 posts. In my opinion sacking Jimmy was wrong. And in my opinion sacking Mark McGhee will be wrong. Final word on the matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizer Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 When I spoke to the board guys out in Olomouc after two of the worst games ever they were still resolute with their decision of getting rid of Calderwood. He has asked for backing and funding twice (after Queens Park and another time after that) and he failed to live up to his side of the bargain of doing well in the cup. The final point for them losing it with him was after the Celtic game where he came out after the game and announced he had taken AFC as far as he could and was clearly angling for a move. That game was a blip and the terrible run (which jute says strangely saw us go upward in the league) made them think we were going backwards rather than building. That is why I'm pretty sure they wont sack McGhee as they give managers chances and blame some of the stuff just now on JC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsr Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 They should blame themselves, they have offered McGhee no resources whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ally s Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 If only all the retards had thought of that 12 months ago. I agree, but we have to move on. As you've already correctly pointed out, sacking McGhee ain't the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
