full record as manager of Motherwell
from 18-05-2006 to 01-06-2007 played 44 won 14 lost 22 drew 8 To add balance to that they went into administration during his tenure, and sold key players before that season started. Good point, well made. |

Always helps if you read the article not just the headline: Malpas, 45, said he wanted to remain in football I did read the article Paul. He clearly states that he was looking at quitting football altogether. It's a direct quote. Make of it what you will, I just can't see Sturrock or Wise thinking of quitting football, can you? he doesnt say that he was looking to quit football at all! He said he might have to look for a different job if he cant get a job in football. Two totally different things! What STA said. Look, it doesn't really matter one way or t'other. He'll either do a job here or he won't - perhaps we should wait until at least the first couple of minutes of the first game (or maybe even a little longer) before we start judging him a success or failure? But if the first throw-in under the new regime doesn't go our way, then clearly it will be time to call for the manager's head. |

This is actually true if the reason the first throw-in doesn't go our way is because we have punted the ball straight into touch from the kick-off, as was the 'tactic' during King's glorious reign ;-) |

The point is a half decent manager wouldn't even consider quitting the game.. surely you must see that. |

Whats the point in booting the ball forward in a rugby kick off stylee and immediately losing posession!!! anyway, thats for another thread!!! |

I think it's positive. Additionally, retaining Byrne as assistant may provide him with the required experience should Malpas leave. As a whole new team is not coming in all at once, you'd hope that there was some succession planning going on as well.
No-one knew how Macari, Ardiles or Hoddle were going to turn out did they ?

Good point - if Wise had been sacked at the end of last season, Leeds fans would have been saying "There you are, told you he was shit" just as some Motherwell fans apparently say about Malpas. Whereas I think now even though some will always hate him for being Chelsea, most would concede he's not done a bad job this season. |

Aaaah, but if Andy King was appointed Motherwell manager some would be saying "he took Swindon to the playoff semi on a limited budget, and they never got relagated under him".  |

Considering the state this club was in about three weeks ago, I'd have been quite happy to see Fitton appoint Roland Rat with Kevin the gerbil as his assistant.
I shall be behind Malpas all the way, until I'm given sufficient proof not to.

What, no place for that fucking old gooner Fatbury, with all this experience he must have now I thought he would be an automatic choice for most people! |
