    No surprise at all; they're in freefall. Terrible manager who was still living in Brighton as Motherwell manager apparently. He couldn't have been any further away.

    I think good for him as well. He looks like is is at the point of breakdown.

    Was kind of thinking that, his recent behaviour seemed a little extreme.

    Duffy, Aitken, Johnston and McCall are all doing decent jobs in our division. Possible candidates?

    Aitken is an interesting name. He's done fantastic at Stranraer and Dumbarton

    Afraid that's just not true. He may well still have property down there, that I don't know, but he lives in Glasgow at present.

    Either way, Motherwell needed to do something, but I fear getting rid of McGhee is all too easy an answer.

    It's notable that the mini surge of optimism among Hearts fans under Cathro came on the back of those wins over The Rangers and Motherwell, two clubs which were on the cusp of freefall on and off the pitch.

    McGhee seems to have had short-lived spells of success throughout his managerial career but seems utterly unable to turn things around when his clubs hit a bad patch. He certainly doesn't inspire as Strachan's assistant with the national team, although neither does Strachan (another manager who seems incapable of stemming a team's loss of form).

    Have motherwell got broadband? Cathro could be the man to continue their downward spiral.

    Fair enough, it was said by a Motherwell fan on their forum. Might be an urban myth that grew wings.

    Poor Muttley, put doon in deepest Lanarkshire.

    The family home is in Brighton, when he was manager at Bristol Rovers he done the same, would leave straight after game on Saturday and head back to the seaside and appear back on the Tuesday for training.

    Another overrated manger who somehow seems to to get jobs while being a poor manager.

    Has he been sacked from his SFA role yet?

    I was just thinking that Hearts also beat Raith (albeit on ET pens) and they then sacked the manager shortly after. Have Cathro's Hearts beaten anyone that hasn't subsequently been so embarrassed that they have sacked the manager?

    I can't definitively say he doesn't maintain that practice during his time at Motherwell, but he definitely has a property in Glasgow up on Park Terrace and I see him pretty regularly in Stravaigin midweek.

    Maybe done what Calderwood did when he was here, lived in a property midweek and went south for the family at the weekends, one of Calderwoods problem was not committing fully to the job, that and being a crap manager.

    The only other team they've beaten is Kilmarnock, whose manager left shortly after.

    Sometimes, his family came up a lot and he only went down after the game but was back 1st thing monday, Calderwood would be down south until tues/wed and left Evans in charge till he got back.

    His interview the week following that incident where he lost it and got sent to the stand came across as very arrogant. No apology to the fans or regret over his actions.

    How many times is that McGhee has had the heave-ho?

    I thought he was going to go fighting with Aberdeen fans in the stand the other week. One of his former clubs too.
