Aye but you'd think they'd have a bit of empathy for the Utd players knowing what they're going to have to suffer from Hughes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 McIntyre is a big improvement on McKinnon. Strange to see United fans unhappy or even negative towards that potential appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DAVIDB69 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I don't see what's grim about the prospect of McIntyre. Aye, it's not an exotic or unexpected suggestion, but surely a manager who is proven at the level you're at is a less risky prospect than chucking it at the first manager outwith the typical Scottish candidates to come along regardless of their level of experience, just for the sake of trying something different. I would understand that view if all the usual candidates were utterly mediocre, but McIntyre has always been a good manager in this league rather than an average one. What's grim is that we keep going for ex players , every single one them seem to be a fail miserably when they get here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember right, he applied for the Caley Thistle job when Butcher left and Yogi got it. Think I'd go for Appleton over Yogi if I were you!

banana Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Out of the four in that last who can barely speak English, I'd go for Yogi. No more ex-players please, so no McIntyre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Mckinnon took the job too soon, he hadn’t done enough tbh to earn it. He had a fantastic final 6 months with us (our form from the end of the transfer window to the end of the season was better than anyone else in the league, Rangers included) but that was largely helped by a very good transfer window. The first half of the season was decent, but suffered the usual winter slump that befalls all Rovers managers. A couple of good seasons at Brechin and an impressive one with Rovers isn’t enough to warrant a job with that much expectation. Coupled with the fact that he in Laurie Ellis an assistant with even less experience, it was too soon. Also, he is an absolute snake so delighted to see him fail, as bitter as that sounds. Hughes might work out…there is some credence to the argument that he inherited some absolute keech – he did, they were Lockes players and ergo were dreadful. However the way he handled it was atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the way he handled it was atrocious. It was indeed a season of two halves for you guys under McKinnon. His recruitment the first half of the season was abysmal and yet his recruitment after xmas was excellent. Looking more and more like it was the second halfs recruitment that was a fluke and not the first half. You'd think United would have learned by now that if you don't conduct yourselves properly when appointing a new manager it tends to come back and bite you on the arse.
