ian1964 10,761 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 MARK McGHEE took a mischievous dig at Rangers last night by claiming he feels “hard done-by” after finishing third in the league to an Ibrox side rewarding players through controversial Employee Benefit Trusts during his first spell as manager of Motherwell. The Scotland assistant manager made the unprompted remarks, which he later appeared to backtrack from, whilst discussing the pressures that he is currently under at Fir Park to ensure the club remain clear of the relegation zone of the Ladbrokes Premiership. “That is the pressure on everyone, other than Celtic, probably, regardless of what anyone might do on any given day or in any given season,” he said. http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/14091685.Motherwell_boss_Mark_McGhee_making_mischief_as_he_raises_issue_of_Rangers_EBTs/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearman 9 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 When was the last time Motherwell finished with more points than Rangers in a league season? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERRAB 3,740 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I hope our board seek some sort of explanation if McGhee has made such comments. As Scotland assistant Manager he should not be jumping on the bandwagon of lies about these EBT's along with the rest of the pondlife in this country 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 He's said that to get the Motherwell fans behind him. That's all. He's had a shaky start and obviously feels the need to go fishing for support. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,761 Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 He is back in the Fir Park hot-seat and while beating relegation is his priority this time around he feels frustrated at being denied a possible second place finish seven years ago. The 58-year-old Scotland assistant boss said: “When I was here first time around we finished third and we probably should have been second given what we’ve learned since about Rangers and their methods. “At the end of the day, it’s straightforward. We get bonuses and I get a better bonus in my contract for finishing second than I do for finishing third. “That season I only got the bonus for finishing third and I feel hard done by. I think we’d all love to have done that (spent extra money on players) – I’d love to do that now but it’s not the way we can work.” Despite his frustration at Gers actions under Murray, McGhee added: “I also wish that Rangers were back in the league and that we were playing them on Saturday. “I don’t have any problems with them. I’m only being a wee bit facetious.” http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/mark-mcghee-rangers-robbed-second-6864744 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinker 887 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 The 58-year-old Scotland assistant boss said: “When I was here first time around we finished third and we probably should have been second given what we’ve learned since about Rangers and their methods. What!!!? I think the difference in quality between us and Motherwell has always been considerably more than anything an EBT could account for. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boabie 230 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 He admits to being facetious - ignore. McGhee is one of those men involved in football who should be permanently ignored. He also has the type of face I wouldn't get tired of slapping. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 A pish poor manager who won't be in the Motherwell job for to long. Like his playing career all his failures are someone else's fault. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
