Didn’t cover himself in glory at Barnet, is he that desperate for a job?

Probably. McGee is very much yesterdays papers as managers go.

He lives or has a property around the Matlock Road area in Brighton I believe.
I don't think any Barnet managers have covered themselves in glory in the last ten years apart from Martin Allen, who's managed them 43 times.

Probably more of a hobby now, I'd have thought. These old school managers appear to associate retirement with those periods of professionally being out of work. Not sure they actually know how/when to call it a day. Didn't Wenger fairly recently associate being retired with being dead?
Good for him and good luck to him.

Be fair, it was only 42 times, and let's be honest, when has Martin Allen ever covered anyone he has managed in glory?
He still lived in Brighton even when he managed Motherwell. I met him a few times at both Gatwick and Glasgow Airport

I agree, it's good to see a manager, probably way past his best, prepared to help out at one of his local clubs. I can't imagine there is very much in it for him from a financial perspective.

Still remember the happy times at Withdean under McGhee and that win at Upton Park. Great day out as too was the play-off final at the Millennium Stadium.

One of our best and most grown-up managers. A man with some hinterland.

He was in WSU for the Burnley game.

He'll have a nice easy home game v Wealdstone FC to contend with, Feb 23rd.
A certain Jeffrey Monakana will be in contention.

I liked MM and have fond memories of his tenure, Cardiff and staying up the next season as well as his run ins with Trolley and Leon Knight were good value. Kicking a player with attitude off a coach up North and leaving him to find his own way back to Brighton being a particular highlight.
Good luck to him

Such a shame my old hero Gordon Bartlett is no longer manager at Wealdstone.

Think I’ll have a whisky to toast him and send him luck!

I remember seeing him in the queue, with his son, for one of the open training days, a couple of years ago.
