MOTHERWELL FANS VIEWS: I asked a few questions for my website and here is some reaction....What kind of football does Malpas play? Long ball to a wee guy who is now plying his trade with smeltic, then hope he does the rest! No other options. A dire style of play.
Was he good to the fans? Nope, as we got humped left, right and centre.
Was he tactically inept? Doesn't know what tactics are...he thinks they are small mint sweets and only 2 calories!!
What did he do right? Signed McCormack then didn't play him when fit.
What did he do wrong? Pretty much everything but if he takes Hegarty with him to Swindon, prepare for relegation
How will he be remembered by Motherwell fans? Useless
======================================
What kind of football does Malpas play?
Appalling route one hoofs up the park to anybody is his kind of football.
Was he good to the fans?
Nope! was very very poor towards the fans as the season was finishing.
Was he tactically inept?
He just played 4-4-2 all season.
What did he do right?
Apart from signing McCormack and Lasley, absolutely nothing!
What did he do wrong?
Absolutely everything!
How will he be remembered by Motherwell fans?
A manager who clearly has experience in how to stand while waiting for a bus.
==============
Maurice had an unprofessional attitude towards the fans, was monotonic with the press and was so inept and unprofessional that his team weren't even match fit. Shambolic stuff. As for tactics - he thought those were wee white mints for freshening your breath. A deeply, deeply uninspiring individual. I fail to see how Swindon players will want to give him their all and battle 100%.

What kind of football does Malpas play? The kind where you get pumped off shite teams weekly.
Was he good to the fans?
Was he tactically inept? Unless his tactics were to get pumped off shite teams weekly, aye.
What did he do right? Brought in a couple of quality players, although this was cancelled out by two poor signings
What did he do wrong? - We got pumped off shite teams weekly.
How will he be remembered by Motherwell fans? - Good assistant, but lacks even the basics of a good manager. You can take heart from the fact that a lot of managers go on to do well after leaving Motherwell, but don't hold yer breath!
=============================
I always wanted Malpas to to well but it just never happened, i do hope he does well at Swindon though. He made a lot of mistakes in his time at Motherwell but i am sure he will have learned a lot too and hopefully is successful for Swindon.
=================================
I always liked him. I think it was his obvious enthusiasm to the job that came across everytime he talked to the media. You could just hear it in his voice, he was bursting with excitement and confidence every week, and no wonder given the free flowing football we played every week under his stewardship. Then there was his amazing ability to change his system when things were going against him, he always managed to make the right substitution at the right time. To think, we could have been stuck with some dullard with a monotoned voice who only knew how to play 4-4-2 everyweek. And don't forget how complinentary he was towards the supporters and how approachable he was when anyone asked him about the games. I we lost a 16 point lead over Dunfermline towards the end of the season, but hey, that's just yer Donald Duck isn't it? I was pretty gutted when he left actually and I'm sure he'll work wonders with Swindon. If the English media thought Jose Mourinho's post match interviews were entertaining, wait until ye hear Maurice! It's laugh a minute with that guy.
On a side note, I'm sure Hegarty's hair is his own aswell...
