Title: Sammy McIlroy - Thoughts?
Post by: AltyIan on May 17, 2011, 12:54:25 AM
After his departure with morecambe, he must be taking a step down and he has always managed local clubs including :
northwich, macc, stockport.
Not a clue whether he has applied for the job or would even consider it, but I couldn't see it being a massive shock, all depending on whether he would take such a big step down the leagues.
Personally I would welcome such a 'big' name and he has a great knowledge of nonleague/lower football league.

Big name, will get people talking about Alty at least, would definately take him just for the fact he's a name in football with undoubted links. He is a cock and doubt he will even contemplate the job.

I really do NOT like the man, but I have to admit he would probably do a good job for us IF he's applied - and that's a very big IF !

It all depends what his expectations are,the problem is,the altrincham job is still an attractive role,and im sure certain well known managers may have thrown their name forward,but when it comes down to it,will they feel they have budget to do what is essentially a rebuilding job

If it was up to me I would not let the man anywhere near Our club.
 He blotted his copy book when we played Macc at their place, years ago.  Near the end of a game, we were chasing, we wanted to take a quick throw, a seven or eight year old ball boy ran to get the ball and "Stabby"  screamed at the lad to leave it. Poor kid looked shell shocked.
For any club manager to do that to an impressionable lad I thought was unforgivable. So keep him out I say.
That is not saying anything about the Jim Harvey situation.

Morecambe have just released about 20 players,and whilst they might not be good enough for league football,it would give mcIlroy some available players he knows to go at....

I think I said when Ken left that I didn't fancy a 'name' for the job, and I feel the same now.

I want a young, hungry, up and coming manager who is moving onto the next stage of his career who will lead the next 5 year plan (or whatever it is) for the rebuilding of the club. In the long term, I think the gain will be much greater doing that than going with an old school name who may just be in for a short stint until something better in League 2 comes up again.

This is how I feel as well.

I wouldn't want someone coming to us because "its a job" and would also question whether he has the contacts to get part time players as well.

I also think the difference between his personal salary and the one we could offer will be huge.

Post by: Saughall Robin on May 18, 2011, 12:32:09 PM
I've not said anything so far on this debate but, as far as I'm concerned, it's unthinkable that he should become manager at Alty (even if he WAS prepared to take the drop in income and divisions). I'm comforted by the belief that our board has more class than to appoint someone of his ilk.

However I'm hanging on to my Season Ticket renewal form just in case the worst should happen.



PS: As far as Preece is concerned, (apart from coming from you-know-where) whilst most candidates would be anxious to show they would be able to produce a winning side in the BSN, he's already shown his limititations in this respect.
Title: Re: Sammy McIlroy - Thoughts?
Post by: Bob on May 18, 2011, 12:45:47 PM
I can't see McIlroy coming.  No hunger, Macc baggage among some fans, and his salary would be too high.  He's more likely to roll up at a Div 2 or ex league club.

I'd go for a relatively young manager, no connections with the club but with decent experience, and everything to prove.

Post by: AltyTunnelSteward on May 18, 2011, 05:46:47 PM
I knew Sam some years ago when I worked with his then wife and found him to be a very professional manager and, off the pitch a very pleasant and knowledgeable guy who knew lots about the game at the level he was operating at.

I can understand people not liking him for a variety of reasons (managing Vics and Macc being two fairly good ones)

I'm afraid that, although I totally respect the fact that  people's money is their own to do with as they wish, the thought that someone might not renew their season ticket because someone they don't like is the manager does disappoint me  a little

A question.

Were we one up with only minutes to go and our manager shouted at a ball boy to leave a ball alone thus delaying a throw in we had to defend, how many of us would honestly condemn him for that action.

All I want from our next boss is that they are successful so I have no axe to grind either way with regard to Mr McIlroy

Phil,

I'm afraid that I have to disagree with you there.

If a certain character is appointed, then, on principle, I will not be renewing my season ticket.

After almost forty years of watching Alty, it would be hell to enter into self-inflicted exile but I would have no alternative, in my view.

Frankly, I would expect you to withdraw your services, too.

I think I might have said what a lot of people have been thinking, but perhaps I should have kept my counsel until the manager has been appointed.
I like to think that I respect everyone's views on here (whilst, clearly, I disagree with some) but there's no point "starting fires in an empty house". Let's wait and see who's appointed next week.
Like I said before, I've got every faith in the Board.

For me it has nothing to do with an incident with a ball boy. I mean didn't they find time in between pounding sheep to name a bloody suite after him at macc!?  No way should he even be anywhere near the short list let alone the home dugout

(a) I don't think he will be interested in BSN; (b) his financial expectations are not likely to match our realities; (c) to me it would smack too much of going for a 'name', with the United association causing an inevitable reminder of the unmitigated disaster Docherty; but (d) he can't be all bad as I was told he had counselled against employing Mr. Twiss, suggesting Fraser MacLachlan (trialist last pre-season) as a more viable proposition for us!

Whether you mean "thick and thin" or "thin and even thinner", this would NOT constitute one of those cases. I've already renewed, but I'd think very hard about attending matches if GH were reappointed. Not, I hasten to add, that I think for one second that it's going to happen.

During almost forty years of supporting Alty, I've been privileged to enjoy many instances of 'thick' but also, alas, plenty of moments that can be categorised under the heading of 'thin'.

I've always believed that Altrincham FC is bigger than any one individual but, God forbid, if the Board appoint a particular individual next week, it will prove to me that my faith is misguided.

If Sammy Mc wants the job then we should give it him. All this tosh about an incident years ago is nonsense, our previous manager assaulted another clubs official and most fans still treated him as god. Sammy has a good track record and what's more may entice more sponsors with the obvious united connection. Why andy preece is being mentioned though is beyond me.

I know that all this is still hypothetical....but just to clarify matters, for my increasingly addled brain, does that mean that you would still attend home matches or would you just be donating your season ticket money to the club whilst staying away from Moss Lane?  

Personally, I could not bring myself to fund a regime that I fundamentally disagreed with.
That's all.

Jacko, I have no idea what you are attempting to type.

I have no issue with any of our managers, I have never boycotted an alty match, neither I imagine has 'cult of'. I was pointing out however that some have in the past and will again despite what you think. Whether or not that is 'sad' I couldnt care less, its just fact. People have principles and you should respect that.

There are no fans that will refuse to come to matches at alty because of my 'stuck in the past mantalitys'.

In addition to Mr McIlroy's unfortunate history, he would not be suitable as he is just not a very good manager (any more).

From a Morecambe fan "Losing nearly £1million a year on a side finishing 20th is very very broken, and all he's done is complain that he can't spend yet more money on aging journeymen as Fleetwood hoover them up." 

This is not our way - and nor should it become our way.

Jacko,

People behave differently to each other, people think differently to each other, just because you find it hard to imagine how anyone could act in such a way does not mean that they would not act in that way. Some people are materialistic and can't believe that if everyone had the money they wouldn't be spending it on D&G gold plated phones, flash cars and other status symbols. Personally I can't understand the materialistic mindset, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Viva la difference. People are different (and no points to the first person to reply "I'm not"), can't we just leave it at that?

As regards Sammy Mc, I have no strong opinion either way, but in general would prefer an up-and-coming manager.

I can assure you that I have nothing against people who have had the misfortune to have played for Northwich Victoria at some stage in their career (with the exception of Jeff Forshaw, obviously).

If I did, I would have boycotted Moss Lane after the arrival of a certain John King back in November 1977.

My objection to a certain character is based on much deeper principles than that.

Jacko,

People behave differently to each other, people think differently to each other, just because you find it hard to imagine how anyone could act in such a way does not mean that they would not act in that way. Some people are materialistic and can't believe that if everyone had the money they wouldn't be spending it on D&G gold plated phones, flash cars and other status symbols. Personally I can't understand the materialistic mindset, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Viva la difference. People are different (and no points to the first person to reply "I'm not"), can't we just leave it at that?

As regards Sammy Mc, I have no strong opinion either way, but in general would prefer an up-and-coming manager.
thanks for the sensible reply ug, but in the same way people often say im never drinking again you can bet your life they'll be back in the pub at some point,
so yes i genuinly think these fans our very much short sighted cretins to say they wouldnt come to moss lane if so and so was managing knowing full well as soon as they get on a good run they will be back
[/b]


Jacko,

Seriously, why do you find the need to resort to such offensive terms to describe anyone who has the temerity to hold a different opinion than yourself?

I would not stoop to abandoning my principles just because Alty might have beaten Vauxhall Motors 4-0 in the Cheshire Senior Cup.

You don't know me one iota.

Cult, you're a man of principles who I respect and who speaks (for the most part  :D) sense.
From one forty-odd yearer to (almost) another, just recognise you can't feed sense to a troll.
I've felt for the last few days that I wanted to contribute more to these debates but didn't - because they're not debates

Actually, the word you are looking for is principal.

Plurals don't require apostrophes.

(I could spend the rest of my life doing this).

Anyhow, Sammy McIlroy - does anyone have any thoughts...?

I've been thinking and after long consideration have decided not to return to Moss Lane. The primary reason for this is OGC Alty's stuck in the past mantalitys.

Jacko - The use of a spellchecker in this situation would have been nugatory as both are correct spellings, although I can guarantee that Mr Cult is entirely capable of spelling either correctly.

However a principle is indeed significantly different to a principal and Mr Cult is also able to correctly differentiate between the two.

Oh and by the way it's actually spelt Grammar  (Grammer being the surname of an American Actor)

How dare you bring my mantalitys into question!!!!

It's a modern twist on the historic manatiltys that has been commonly seen at moss lane.  You wont find mantalitilitation this unique anywhere else. And whilst you're at it just admit that you'd be on the golf road even if he'll froze over and bin lardon took control!

I don't like the sound of this mantalitys. Is it contagious ? If I come down with it, will I recover in time for the pre-season friendlies ? I intend to get to as many of them as I can, it's a matter of principle (one of my principal ones !)

I agree, its absolutely hilarious to poke fun at people who misspell words. High comedy at it's finest, five stars.

Mis-spelling has nothing to do with it. The fact that he is a prize prick has everything to do with it.

Thoughts on Sammy McIlroy?

If he can take the salary drop he wouldn't be the worst choice. 

Knows non league and will have kept his hand in with some good league connections added in as well.

A guy who has played at the World Cup, played for Man United, managed in league and non league, plenty of contacts, lives locally. I think we should be so lucky! Can't see it though, but fingers crossed.

Reminds me of an old colleague of my dad's at Welly Road girls school. When called a "F***ing old cow!" Barbara Pickles replied:
"Old? yes. Cow? maybe. But F*ck? Never!"
