MCMANAMAN MOVE?
A few interesting lines from Malky Mackay’s press conference ahead of Wigan’s clash with Blackburn on Saturday.
Mackay has admitted he had taken calls asking about Callum McManaman’s availability, but doesn’t want to sell the midfielder, despite his desire to leave. Mackay did admit it was a matter of money.
QPR have failed in a bid to swap winger Matt Phillips for Wigan star Callum McManaman, according to the Daily Mail.
Phillips is thought to be reluctant to drop to the Championship and wants to stay and fight for his place under Harry Redknapp.

He said this morning that Maloney is now likely to stay at Wigan and see out the remaining months of his contract – but he says there is still interest from MLS side Chicago Fire.

The former Newcastle United right-back does not feature in Latics manager Malky Mackay’s plans and is reported to be available on loan.

Hull are looking to sign Wigan Athletic’s Callum McManaman but are struggling to meet the club’s £6million valuation for the winger
Charming reply tis the last resort of an person that as lost the plot never mind the argument to go by your logic you would sooner lose 6-1 by taking a defender off who is injured and replacing with an 18 year old striker or Fortune who fans constantly say is inept your cv continues to flatter
Actually it was Maloney and McClwan up front and if an defender is injured replace him with an striker that makes a lot of sense
You have completely missed the irony of my post! :silly:[/quote]
thanks for telling me that you realised 3 hours later :woohoo:
The thing I find strange is why have 3 managers had to work with the same backroom squad and not been able to bring in their own team. A great number 2 can make a world of difference as we witnessed with PJ and Hutchings. Is it just coincidence that 3 guys seem to be sending us in the same direction in similar style and the new manager syndrome is not working here. If changes are to be made keep Malky and get shut of Barrow and his merry men and let the gaffer form his own support.Malky’s backroom staff at Cardiff
MACKAY’S BOOT ROOM
DAVID KERSLAKE – ASSISTANT MANAGER
AS a player, Londoner Kerslake was a forward-foraging right-back at the likes of QPR, Swindon and Spurs.
It was with the youngsters at Tottenham he first worked as a coach in the Academy before becoming reserve team coach at Nottingham Forest under former Swindon team-mate Colin Calderwood. The 45-year-old went on to become assistant manager at the City Ground before Mackay brought him in as first-team coach at Watford, the same position Mackay himself had started out in management with at Watford.
JOE McBRIDE – FIRST TEAM COACH
THE 50-year-old Glaswegian was a winger who began his playing career at Everton and had spells at Rotherham and Oldham before moving back to end his career in Scotland.
Indeed, McBride became a coach during his time at Albion Rovers and was made caretaker manager when Jimmy Crease resigned as manager in December 1995.
He went on to become a youth coach at Celtic, developing players including Aiden McGeady, Paul Caddis and Cillian Sheridan.
McBride subsequently assisted Willie McStay at Újpest FC in Budapest, Hungary, but in June last year Mackay installed the fellow Scot as youth coach at Watford.
RICHARD COLLINGE – HEAD OF PERFORMANCE
STOKE-BORN Collinge has an MSc in sports physiotherapy from University College, London and spent three years working as physiotherapist at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington.
He joined Watford from Brentford back in 2002 initially to work with the Hornets youngsters in the Academy.
He rose to become first team physio and when Mackay arrived at Vicarage Road he was moved to head up the new manager’s medical team. Collinge is an expert in work aimed at preventing football injuries occurring in the first place.
Opening up the lightside /darkside argument again is what you want Fil I thought that had gone with the Martinez era but alas here you are again opening it up has I was described as an lightsider ie backing the Bobby regime ,How are the darksiders now feeling after his departure.
The old be careful what you wish for could prove to be right and since Bobbies departure you have got what you wished for a complete feck up in the managerial appointments since . Owen Coyle , Uwe Rosler and now Malky all bought players with them except Malky who has brought one in albeit on a six week loan with the exception of James McClean and maybe Perch all the rest have been proven not good enough
To sign Grant Holt on a long contract at the age of 32 on a three year contract on god knows how much money for a starter I think most people thought was a good signing due to his previous record but turned out to be a big blunder and still do . Then we have the Riera and delort shambles for another instance .
What has happened to the scouting at this club we used to bring in unknowns for minimal payment ,players at other clubs not wanted but they gave their all for the club unless they didn’t want to be here like Cattermole .
The overhaul riding factor is since the play off fiasco against QPR the players have been on a downward spiral I don’t know what as caused this weather it’s due to reduction in wages as the money runs out from the PL days ,lack of motivation from Uwe and MM who knows but two managers this season have failed to get the best out of the players and I fear that putting another manager in there will not change the attitude of the players
