Bestie 25 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Definetly not. Did his best and will always be grateful but let's be honest he left Motherwell before he was sacked. Yet on here they think he is a great manager? Did his best but was always a tall order, time to move on.Either McCall was implying there wasn,t 11 players at the club that were capable if winning the league or he has to take responsibility for poor team selection and poor tactics stand up and be counted We couldnt not concede and we couldn't score, does that make everyone useless.His about mc call taking some responsibility for a poor run in.The performances as and results were marginally better but we stuttered to the finish line.He mentioned in his interview that he had galvanised the squad utter bollocks. I bet Daly,moshni,mc culloch,Robinson,aird,Hutton,temps, clark to name a few didn't want him to succeed as he's shown no support to them as nd certainly didn't get the best out if them.On the other hand he's consistently played Bell Wallace and Law i rest my case the guys got nothing going for him except that he's a good bullsh@tter Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NixonRFC 1,451 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 No-one can truly know how unfit the players were before McCall took over, i thought we looked much fitter in the latter stages of the Season but 6 extra games was just too much of a stretch and the players were dying on their arses - I'd not be opppsed to Stuart getting the job, as mad as it sounds there was actually a genuine chance we'd not even finish in the Play-Off spot - we were 3rd with only 5 clear of 5th space and where on a 9 game winless run, fuck knows were would have finished under McDowell, there was just to much to fix and not enough time to fix it in my opinion Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooseman 889 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 McCall took an underperforming unfit tactically inept collection of overpaid individuals and got them working together as a group, if he had come in sooner then maybe his influence could have been greater. As it is 2 months was never going to be long enough. The fact that we got into the playoffs should be enough considering that we looked like we would finish 5th Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace,?,?,law,?,?,?,? If you are happy with that sign him up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geronimoo 1,491 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 McCall was never a person I wanted to see even if he had got us promoted I still wouldn't have wanted him but TBH he would have deserved a shot at least and couldn't be denied that, we need to get away from these so called Rangers men and start fresh.

What was happening away from the cameras that we didn't hear about? He did what he could in a short space of time and at the end of the day the players that he was given were not up to the job.... As I have said on another thread, if he's the manager next year we will win the division and at least 2 cups. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 If he got us up then yes. But we need something fresh and new. We need someone to play the youth boys and build a team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie0202 12,561 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Absolutely not. You can argue that he never signed the players but let's compare how the same players performed under different managers this season. This is from all competitive games.McCoist P 27 W 20 D 2 L 5McDowell P 10 W 3 D 3 L 4McCall P 17 W 7 D 6 L 4I say the same set of players but there were a couple of changes. Obviously losing Macleod was a blow but I believe Vuckic has made just as much a contribution.The simple answer is that with the same group of players McCall's results are worse than Ally's.As a sidenote, while I never was an Ally fan his results this season weren't actually that bad on reflection.

TylerDurden 21 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 If Warburton & Weir aren't available (I've yet to see us linked with another name that strikes me) then I think McCall should be given a chance to build his own squad. However if W & W are available then I'd love to see them given a chance.Exactly my thoughts also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 To fuck, no. Absolutely fucking not.Aside from the fact that he failed to get us promoted, he took over as we sat second and we finished third. In no way has he earned a crack at this job, permanently.As I've said before, we need a fresh approach. Someone new with no connections to club. Someone who will turn the club upside down and rid us of the jobs-for-the-boys mentality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I liked his desperate, last ditch attempt at staking a claim for the job - "this club needs to invest in the squad and recruitment is my biggest strength". Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue Legend 61,995 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I'd be wary of giving someone the job who said something along the lines of " I quit the job because I ran out of ideas how to beat Dundee Utd".

Adoniram 1,919 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 No from me. Started off well but in the last 3 or 4 games he has made major tactical mistakes. Plus he has relied on some of the same rubbish McCoist did.Weaknesses in our defence, midfield and attack were not addressed and Motherwell took full advantage.I said after we beat Hibs before the play offs our best formation was either 3-5-2 or 4-5-1. He went 4-4-2 in the crunch games and we were brutally exposed as a result.He came, he tried his best and he goes with my thanks but we need someone far better.
