Was going to ask what specifically is meant by being ‘able’ to cover these positions. Surely a minimum level of proficiency at each is required to make that claim?
My concern with signing McAllister to a new deal is that it seems like a lazy option. No effort required to find a better option when there's a guy who's 'fine' in place.
I reckon it's mostly because there were a lot of games between the teams when he was their manager. Also the fact he went to Lochgilphead to avoid letting anyone else down.
