I mean, the links with other clubs started appearing a year ago so it's not like this has happened all of a sudden when his contract is expiring in a couple of months. This one is from 9th March 2022: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/max-johnston-sheffield-united-luton-26424613 Same agency as the likes of McKinstry it’s who a lot of young Scottish players get tied down to from a young age these days but everything about them is 9/10 drumming up interest in there client and moving them constantly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) Following on from the whole Connor Shields has 4 goals in 4 games for QP chat, I saw Thistle bodied Dundee last night with Barry Maguire starting in midfield. Since I'm absolutely the type of loser who lurks about on other teams forums I noticed this comment from @Ludo*1 over on TDBF. 14 hours ago, Ludo*1 said: The partnership of McGhee & Maguire is up there with the worst CM partnerships I've seen in a long time. I really rate McGhee - I think he's one of our better players - at CH. He's not a midfielder. It needs to stop or it'll cost Bowyer his managerial career IMO. Maguire too, I don't think he's a terrible player, bit anonymous, bit of a poor first touch but perfectly acceptable mid-tier Scottish talent. Maybe in a 3 man centre he'd be elevated a bit. Don't think Byrne would work paired off with either of those two either. Together - they create an absolute vaccum in midfield that just begs for other teams to dominate.

Well Well Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) Joining the club and starting immediately, Foster will oversee coaches within our academy at all youth levels. Alongside this, he will be coaching our Under 16s team and will be involved at Under 18s level. With Stuart Kettlewell’s role of lead development coach vacant, since he became first-team manager, Foster will be coaching the Under 18s until a replacement has been appointed. Foster began his career at Aberdeen where went on to make over 200 appearances for the Dons. In his time, he turned out for Rangers, Ross County, St Johnstone, Bristol City and Partick Thistle while also being selected for Scotland duty in 2012. He was assistant manager with USL Championship side Detroit City for the 2022 season before returning to Scotland earlier this month. “This is a really exciting opportunity for me at the perfect time,” Foster said. “Motherwell is renowned for developing young players that go on to have sustained careers within the game and they have some great, young talent coming through with excellent people working here. “This all makes me feel very fortunate to be given this role and I’m looking forward to getting started.” Edited March 1, 2023 by Well Well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowsdower Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Seems fine, we need coaches. I'm sure there will be some rage somewhere, but I'm not going to look. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I’ve no idea if Richard Foster is a decent coach. The youth teams certainly needed someone in to help out so I’m glad we’re starting to appoint people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'WellDel Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 5 minutes ago, Well Well said: Richard Foster new Head of Coaching Always thought he came across as a bit of a helmet and had no idea he had any real coaching experience, thought he'd just been carving out a career as another of the bland pundit crew on the BBC since he stopped playing. No idea of his credentials so just got to trust the relevant people have done their homework and selected the right man and, well, welcome I suppose (but not to your insufferable Rangers supporting Mrs). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) I have no strong opinion on Ricky Fister. Actually, scratch that, "he was outed by Seb Faure as a vocal Yes voter in a Rangers dressing room which largely toed the Unionist line"...absolutely fine. Welcome aboard Richard. So, from the sound of that article he's taking the vacancy that Clarkson left when he was promoted but is also filling in for Kettlewell in the interim? That still leaves us looking for Kettlewell's permanent replacement plus an assistant manager and a Lasley replacement if we want to go wild.
