McCall speaks...

I’ve gone an awful feeling he’s on the bottle.

 

As suspected, Stuart had a plan on and off the pitch, and Turnbull, Trueman and Sellars are just carrying it out.

Get him back in the dugout on Tuesday and judge him at the end of next season, when we'll be celebrating promotion to the Championship.

 

Are you on the bottle as well? , McCalls team selection and tactics were woeful, Despite 3 at the back failing him he persisted with it, His inability to see that changes were needed cost him his job, He would have taken us down no matter what he says

 

Delusional.

 

I like the talk about getting rid of the players he didn't want in January.

He'd just signed 2 of them in the summer transfer window and spent the rest of the summer bigging up another!

I love Stuart and he'll always be a legend in my eyes but to I can't in any way agree that he was capable of turning this around. Sacking him was unfortunately the absolutely right decision.

 

No game so put a story on the back page of the local paper to fill the void,nothing more to say that hasn't been said before.
Great player,Poor manager
Good Luck in Scotland Stuart.

 

Not a happy bunny.

I read that as an attack on Sparks and Rupp.

Offering him as new contract was - STUPID!! SILLY!

 

Good luck to Macca for the future

 

Despite Ryan saying there was no bitterness in his WOAP interview, there are a few digs at him in that.


“There was this hysteria, and I think some at the club got caught up in it, when they were discussing the National League with 30 games to go.

“I think that had a lot to do with it. I found it strange that one week people think you’re the right man for the job long-term and you’re signing a new deal and then to lose faith like that was disappointing.

 

He's right though mate.

We were never gong down.

 

I'd add training into the woeful category as well. One of the first things T&S identified was the need for more intensity in training, and AK bless him, was right to point out the stark contrast in pre match warm ups between our players and whoever we were playing in any given week. That wasn't suddenly going to change under Stuart, and would have continued to put us at a disadvantage, whatever he might try to claim otherwise.

 

Really dont known what to make of that article. We were plummetting down the league with no continuity of team structure. Players who clearly are not good enough that he signed and we were being beaten week in week out without putting up much of a fight.

T and S take over the exact same team and go 8 games unbeaten. And we looked organised and the players seem to know what their jobs are.

His last few radio interviews were mad, defensive and dismissive. That didnt sound like someone with a plan. Strange behaviour if he did have a plan that he really believed in.

 

What is he on ? What a deluded, we’d have been bottom if he’d stayed on.. Glad Sparks had the balls to sack him,

McCalls last era was similar to Dochertys, crap football, clueless tacfics.. He’d lost the dressing room and admitted in his last interview vs oldham that he’d be much better off had he not managed the club!

 

Mate, we should have sacked him straight after the fans forum. I warned everyone then that McCall wasn't the man to take us forward.

 

Disappointing he can't admit any errors or mistakes of his own and casts the blames elsewhere for everything.

 

Strange interview where there are a few digs flying round. Quite hypocritical a few of them.

 

He’ll always be a club legend/icon so a couple of the comments on here regarding rumours of drinks and calling him a clown are pathetic in my eyes.

That said I’m glad he’s gone and don’t agree with a lot he’s saying, although it was bizarre by the club to give him a new contract and sack him two weeks later.

But it’s best everyone just moves on Stuart is more suited to punditry imo, and we are suited to a different manager although I’d happily have him in some kind of honorary role like other clubs do with club legends. Doesn’t look like that will happen under this regime now however.
