Never have too much money and no reason why he wouldn’t come back he got on well with the owners for many years and there will be plenty of other managers who would come here
He walked of his own volition after seeing what he'd have to be working with. That is now less. There's absolutely no evidence he might have changed his mind. Yes, there are plenty of managers that would come here, but in the summer we were shopping in the league 1 market and even then didn't get our first choices. Mccann was deemed pick of the bunch that were interested. Why do you think we'd attract someone more proven now?
I don't see that there's significant money on offer. Besides, you can earn more money in the longer term by maintaining a strong cv and waiting for a better job prospect to come along. That's clearly what he decided to do 9 months ago.
There reaches a point where you have to keep your name in the frame. When NA came here he hadn't been sighted for what was it 4 years and whilst I'm sure he's been applying for jobs, he hasn't been getting them, no matter how good a job he did here. He's around 55 and with foreign managers coming in, young managers coming through, a chance to get your name out there is as good as having a CV in hand. Its moot anyway, whoever comes in will only be on a short term contract anyway I suspect. Thats if someone comes in.
If you read my earlier posts I've said it's getting to the point we need to gamble on it, even if it's for just a change of squad mindset and in the hope of a new manager bounce. Long term though, if we do stay up I'm skeptical as to whether it will make much difference without signing some proven quality at this level, and the funds don't appear to be there. And arguing that a manager who's already walked away cos he didn't want to be a league 1 manager is unlikely to change his mind now we're closer to that is not the same as saying mccann is the right man to take us forward. I'm not sure he is at the moment, though there is mitigation for him. It's called having a balanced viewpoint.
In accounting terms, I'm sure they feel they are doing a good job. I can imagine their Idea of a good result is being ahead of budget in any given month, not whether the team wins or not. Surely in footballing terms even they can't be stupid enough to think they are doing a good job, our league position is evidence of what sort of job in footballing terms they are doing.
I honestly don't think they'll see it that way! They can rarely if ever accept they are wrong. They'll see it that they've implemented this wonderful enlightened progressive club identity based on sustainability, playing style, recruitment policy, and up & coming bright manager, etc etc. It will be the fault of others, and bad luck, not theirs. Just like they still maintain the name change was a great / the right idea, same with their plans for the KC & surrounds, the ticketing model, whatever. .
He left because he could see what was coming, he’s unlikely to change his mind now it’s actually come to fruition.
He left because he didn’t want to work for two clueless interfering twats. Just like Steve Bruce. They just can’t use those words on the telly.
I think he left because he was sick of the money grabbing ****wit in charge....A bit like the rest of them who have left!!!
