Paul.. Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 2 hours ago, HalfFull said: Where, exactly, are these other threads? I have checked the first 4 pages of MATCHDAY and can see no other thread on McGugan. If someone wants to start a thread on any topic, that is their choice. If you don't want to read it, don't - that is your choice. If there are too many threads on any topic then I would expect the moderators to deal with it. Time of the month? Did I bitch about him starting a new thread? Did I bitch at him not searching before posting? No I confirmed that we knew of the Bolton link and had been discussing it, there have been numerous threads about McGugan, was stating a fact.

Swiss Toni Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Probably moves like this will go right up until the end of the window along with other players we may want to ship out on loan with a view to making them permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_Owl Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Think CC only signed him because he wanted to make the fans happy when he first came. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerwyldesmullet Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) This may be a papal promble, but does Carlos actually sign the players? or is it still being done by "the Committee" which used to work for the Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club led by Glenn Roeder and Colin Crompton. PS. Good luck to Lewis - time to move on shame it didnt work out. Edited January 16, 2017 by Rogerwyldesmullet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackSWFC Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Problem is he must be on a very healthy wage now. Need to loan him out, let him set the league on fire then sell him to the next unfortunate host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 If he gives it anywhere close to 100% he would be the best midfielder in league one imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I'm not so sure, wasn't Roeder here then? It could even have been DC for the reason you mentioned above, it's certainly hard to imagine CC sanctioned it because he's just not his type of player. I guess it's academic now but I'd still love to know who was responsible for McGugan, Sougou and Lachman, if anyone can remember the exact timeline of CC's and GR's tenure vs the arrival of those I'd be interested. As an aside, I remember being delighted when we signed him, no doubt a lot of us were. Edited January 16, 2017 by Morepork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much. His attitude comes across a bit arrogant and his presence I'm guessing doesn't help the team morale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Isn't Bolton weeks away from administration? They paid players late in November, The chairman has said if he cannot purchase the other 40% of Holdsworth then it will be administration possible. Still not taken full control has he? Are they also still under a transfer embargo? How can they sign Mcgugan unless we pay his full wage and the league accept it under an embargo?

Whilst I am all for getting the wage bill down - it much be astronomical - we need to be a little careful about deciding who goes. If CC were to move on, another manager may get something out of these discarded players. Gray did it after Jones left and we improved. CC has basically frozen players out who are capabale of doing a job here - I wouldn't ideally want them doing a decent job somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current coach needs to do what he needs to do, you can't have a situation where you hang on to players just in case the next coach rates them, regardless of who they are or their ability.

I agree in most cases but when players have been frozen out who can perform a perfectly decent role here, as in the case of McGugan, the decision needs to be a more considered one.

Bluesteel Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Whilst I think he could've been used more recently. I agree that if CC doesn't want him he needs to move quickly for all concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't believe the decision to let McGugan go is not a considered one, if there are issues with attitude or he doesn't fit our style of play then he has to go for the good of all parties, you can't keep him because the next coach "might" rate him. The whole thing is very unfortunate and I certainly wouldn't have foreseen it. It also goes back to something I posted elsewhere, I'm not even sure McGugan is a CC signing.
