And was sacked due to being not willing to sign a contract and commit long-term. Same reason he left Peterborough. If anything you bringing up Motherwell strengthens my point.
My question was actually more wide. What are you trying to achieve or prove with this anti-Gannon stance you're taking? Forget all other managers and comparisons; taking Gannon in isolation, you can't say he hasn't successful. He's arguably the club's most successful manager in history, at worst he's second, yet you find every opportunity to play down his achievements.
