[MSK]

Guy was never really given a chance ...

maybe he will be in line for the Utd manager he is rated but he has a few youngsters at well .. only went down hill for them when we beat them at easter road mind you he complained about everythin!!:blah::blah:

[mixumatosis]

Doubtless someone with faster fingers than me will get there first, but here goes:

The 'well board have played a blinder, no-one saw this coming, straight out of leftfield etc etc.

There it is :thumbsup:

[BoltonHibee]

Reported elsewhere that he quit as opposed to being sacked, fuelling speculation he is about to take up a position in elsewhere.

im suprised, he must have something else lined up

[Calvin]

He wouldn't sign a new contract, his man management was crap and the players hated him apparently.

Disquiet within the club about his public persona.

[Spike Mandela]

He's taking over from Hugh Dallas as refereee supervisor.:cool2:

[.Sean.]

Bit of a shock...

[hibiedude]

Sacked for not being fully committed to the club

[whiskyhibby]

Thats him off to DUFC then?

Enough about JC now ok :wink:

Yams job for Gammon?

[Calvin]

Enough about JC now ok :wink:
Exactly what I was thinking. Players didn't like what he was doing at the club. Rebellion on the cards.

All the familiar hallmarks!

Calderwood for the Motherwell job then? They could do worse - ask the Aberdeen fans!

Disquiet within the club about his public persona.

According to the Beeb, it's because he wouldn't sign a contract full stop.

This suggests that he hasn't had a contract in place since day one - if so, Motherwell could be understandably anxious that he would walk out on them at any given moment.

Fair enough, he did fall out with Craigan, but surely results have pretty much justified his decisions?

[iwasthere1972]

Somebody say it :greengrin

Left field. There you go. :wink:

To think that only a few months ago some folk on this board preferred him to Yogi. Not mentioning any names. :devil:

[jacomo]

It would be a good appointment for them... but it depends if Calderwood would take it, or is waiting on something from England or the Netherlands.

Some Well fans reckon that Stephen Craigan is keen on a coaching career - maybe they'll turn to him? He'll be pleased to see the back of Gannon, anyhow.

[Winston Ingram]

No wonder they sacked him

What a walloper (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/8431238.stm)

[J-C]

Said the relationship between Gannon, the staff and the board had become an issue, in other words he's a big headed, big mouthed Irishman who thinks he's better than he really is and got on everyones t1ts at Motherwell.

[sahib]

I thought he sounded down but perceptive in his analysis. Are managers not allowed to tell the truth? Perhaps not when it affects the desire of supporters to hand over their cash to the club.

[Phil D. Rolls]

Jeez, you'd have to look hard to find one of those! They should have hung onto him for his novelty value alone.

[Golden Bear]

It would have been interesting to see how Gannon's fitba' philosophies panned out in the long term.

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest to learn that "higher authorities" in the Scottish game mjay have exerted pressure on the Motherwell board to remove Gannon following some of his disagreements with Dallas.

[Cocaine&Caviar]

With Gannon already gone, Moutouakil (The right back), Ruddy (The goalkeeper), and Jutkiewitz (The striker) all heading back to their parent clubs in January, is it safe to rule them out of competition for 3rd spot?

[ancient hibee]

Motherwell have always been more likely to be in the bottom 3 than the top.

They were never in with a chance of 3rd with that team and manager.

I'd take all 3 at Hibs.

[BroxburnHibee]

Dodged a bullet there :greengrin

Have DU fans got a messageboard for Ryehill to influence the betting...........

Or maybe it will be Sheffield Wednesday :hmmm:

[down-the-slope]

I reckon his public stating of the players not being good enough and in inferring that he needed new ones and so wanted dosh was the straw......

[FranckSuzy]

Surely this news has to give us some perspective re yesterday's result. We could have appointed Gannon i/o Yogi and we'd be well p'd off now. As it is there's a lot to be positive about. We lost one game-big wows :wink:

:agree:

Brown set for job with Motherwell (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/motherwell/8433200.stm)

That was quick :hmmm:

Bugger it, I was hoping he'd get the DU job, then 3rd place would be assured for us. I actually quite liked Gannon, but his last interview after the defeat by Saints was quite damming if the truth be told. I would hope Craigen has nothing to do with this either,he spends more time on Sportscene than on a fitba pitch these days.

[Cocaine&Caviar]

Ruddy would be a very good loan signing.

[Woody1985]

Ruddy would be a very good loan signing.

Is that the well keeper? I thought that he was pish when they played us at ER.

[hibby4ever]

dialy record reports that motherwell are set to turn to craig brown to replace gannon...... just wanted to see what anyone thought about him and how well everyone thinks he would do

[scott7_0(Prague)]

Pesh and pesh!

One of the most successful Scotland Managers ever.

Unbelievable, Jeff!

[Danderhall Hibs]

:agree: Made a couple of decent saves but for the most part looked dodgy.

[blackpoolhibs]

Didn't cover himself in glory either against the huns, although he's not on his own there.:boo hoo:

[down the slope]

Imagine the dressing room at half time , Broon is troubled by a change he has to make-is it pan drops or toffee doddles for sookin in the second half ?.
No training on tuesdays as that is pension day plus the start of the boolin season cuts right across the run in to the league, oh deary me what to do ?.

[Keith_M]

It's in the Scotsman (http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/sport/Motherwell-lining-up-Craig-Brown.5942021.jp) as well, though that could just be a case of newspapers copying each other, as per usual.

[blackpoolhibs]

People of Motherwell, lock up your daughters. :wink:

[CropleyWasGod]

Does this mean that Tom Boyd will get a game?

[blackpoolhibs]

Does this mean that Tom Boyd will get a game?

Colin Hendry has just announced he's to come out of retirement.:wink:

[Hiber-nation]

Colin Hendry has just announced he's to come out of retirement.:wink:

And Colin Calderwood to slot in there at sweeper.

This might well be a good thing as they should keep it very tight at the pbs tomorrow night.

[CorrieHibs]

Is that the well keeper? I thought that he was pish when they played us at ER.

I thought he terrible as well. But what do we know we have Maka.

[Frazerbob]

Craigy Broon is a legend on and off the park! Good luck to him, especially tomorrow night.

[ArabHibee]

Craig Brown to take over in the interim for next 3 matches for Motherwell. Just been announced on BBC news.

[MWHIBBIES]

Alan irvine has just been sacked by preston.

Probably don't want to miss out on Gannon again.

[The_Todd]

Probably don't want to miss out on Gannon again.

Has Ryehill been on the Preston forums, then?
