I don't understand what you are saying. Are you implying that McGhee's decision to loan out Big Mac was motivated by personal dislike, or other "personal" reasons, rather than just footballing judgement? If so, I think you are very wide of the mark.

McGhee gave Big Mac plenty of game-time over the Christmas and New Year period but in the end decided that he was the one of our strikers who had to make way to free up cash. It was a football/business decision, not a personal one, no doubt in part motivated by Big Mac's higher wages in relation to the likes of McPhee, etc.

Yes, it then became a bit personal on Big Mac's side as he overreated and let himself down a bit. But that has nothing to do with McGhee.

I agree that we were crying out for a target man but we needed to get Big Mac off the wages to fund one.

I was making the point that personal issues between him and MM might have contributed to him not getting in the side.

Eaxctly, that's what I just said - that's not a personal disagreement, that's a football disagreement.

So you don't think the two are related in anyway? If McCammon and MM are distbuting a football issue to the point where they are having a public disagreement over it do you not think that is a personal issue as well as a football one?

Of COURSE the personal problems had something to do with it.

London Irish, for a seemingly intelligent person you do leave yourself open to looking abuse for your STUBBORN and BLINKERED views on all things Mark McGhee.

Yes McGhee clearly thought McCammon could do a job - that is why he signed him and kept including him in the squad and telling the local RAG he would help the team when he got fit.

Why do you think he was suddenly deemed surplus to requirements? Might it not have had something to do with him questioning McGhee on the radio and the pair falling out?

McCammon himself said they had fallen out so how can you pretend otherwise?

Jesus I didn't think this would happen but I agree with Richie.

Good point though, if MM signed him twice he obviously thought he could do a job so there must be other contributing factors that lead to McCammon being out of the team when fit.

He told anyone who would listen how important McCammon could be for us, perseveres with picking him etc THEN suddenly loans him out?

SOMETHING must have happened for such a drastic change of heart from McGhee.
