...and apparently didn't have the skills at Motherwell as he quit stating, I believe, that he didn't have what it took to get the out of the position they found themselves in. He then moved onto Rangers as interim manager but didn't get offered the full time post. Read into that what you will. He was then fired from his next two roles in English lower leagues.

 

He also doesn’t realise that if by some miracle we get into the playoffs we have to play away!!

 

So you are saying that Stuart McCall arguably one of the best players we have ever had, and never took a back step in the whole of his career is now a quitter? Why do you think he is here then, and no he doesn’t need the money or the stress tbh?

 

I am a season ticket holder and have attended a number of away fixtures as well.

If you read my post you would see that I wa responding to a statement that McCall was having a look at all the players. A statement that suggests he has given up on this season and is now planning for next. I stated that given we were only 3 points off a playoff we should still be pushing for that. I stated that I didn't believe we were good enough to go up but being in a play off position generates revenue and excitement around the club and so we should not be throwing in the towel. Revenue is something we need so we cant be giving up on a season where we can still reach the playoffs.

Go back and read it again.

 

I just asked you if you thought the squad was good enough for the playoffs. Pretty simple question really.

 

You make some very good observations that are sometimes clouded by your view on McCall. He comes with deficiencies but I'm pretty sure another manager had been appointed rather than McCall, and I'm pretty sure the results would have been the same, that your views on our recent form would have been different.

 

Yes I think we are good enough to make a play off spot but then so are around 50% of the teams in the division so it is not a mark of approval. If Bowyer (luck or not) can get this lot into a playoff position for half a season then there is no reason McCall should not.

On a separate note. Noticed you nimbly avoided actually responding to the central them of my post though...nicely done sir.

 

You may well be right.

But given we were sold on McCall as his style of play would get the supporters back on side, he knows the club, he has learned from his previous appointment, he was appointed in less than 24 hours (which suggests previous contact), he said he had been watching a lot of football AND we were 7th in the division then YES expectations are rightly higher than they would be for someone who knew nothing of the club.
