I made them up

McGhee 2/1 Black 4/1 Butcher 8/1 Miller 12/1 Strachan 15/1 Baxter 20/1 All others 25/1

Aye, yourself

Maybe you should organise a protest?

Willie's expectations are cup wins, and 3rd/4th in the league. Calderwood couldn't deliver the cup wins so he's gone.

Quite a few Motherwell fans don't seem to be disappointed if he leaves.

I don't understand why he hasn't been fired. The club and fans moaned like fuck because UEFA said he didn't have the necessary qualifications to manage. Maybe if they'd got somebody with the necessary qualifications they'd still be an EPL side...

Clutching at straws. I'll back him if he becomes the new manager, but would prefer somebody else.

Its like saying Andrew has a "minor" cock. "Tiny" would have been more appropriate.

He's saying all the right things as far as I'm concerned, including stating he no longer wants to be manager.

Some interesting comments on the Motherwell boards, a few folk saying they'd love Calderwood to take over if McGhee goes: http://www.steelmenonline.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=2784&st=20 Also:

For me... Unacceptable - Levein, Jeffries, W. Miller, Williamson Can live with it - McGhee, McAllister, Butcher Yes please - Black, D. Ferguson, Curbishley, Strachan, McLeish, Graham, Rijkaard

That's me renewed. It better not be Jeffries, Williamson or Levein!

What/who is/are the JIG? I've never met anyone who claims to be a JIGger and always assumed it was a fabrication. I personally don't think McGhee is the man for the job at all. One good season then it all seems to get a bit shaky. He also has a history of being disloyal to clubs.

minijc doesn't believe what he posts, he's just fishing.

That didn't even raise a chuckle.

How about Booth for the new striking coach? He's done his coaching courses, plus Setanta are probably going to go tits up.

That was my view too. He has unquestionably been better than anyone since Smith.

Any other suggestions, we'll add them to the poll.

I'm not too bothered he's gone (providing the board show some good judgment in appointing a replacement) but where do we place Calderwood in our recent list of managers?

BigAl That's the scariest rumour I've heard in a while I'm definitely holding off on renewing my season ticket. Some very poor suggestions being bandied about. Eric Black is the only one I'd take out of the names in this thread, unless McLeish is being binned from Birmingham.
