Not good news

I stopped while typing that out and thought "f**k it, everyone else is using half baked ideas just continue"!

What a load of absolute bollocks!! I'd say it's more like... Hearts have been found to have been shite at their job, incompetent & just not up to standard. Due to circumstances out with anyone's control they were unable to let Hearts finish their probation and they were let go a bit early. They could have turned their performance round but unlikely. Dundee United have been given a job as they proved very good at interview & now Hearts want to stop them being employed.

Listening now to the case. Let's how long it takes for legal jargon to put me to sleep!!!

Austin MacPhee seemingly joined NI management team. Should still be able work at a club though, but may not be as manager.

Not just since Asghar came in. I remember he broke Chris Erskine signing a couple of days before it was announced, and others too. He is fairly on the ball when it comes north east and Fife teams.

McCulloch and Forrest are off to Hearts once new guy is in place.

To me he has a better record than Mackay & many players & those that have worked with him say he is a fantastic coach. I'm just glad that we aren't going the usual route and entertaining different ideas.

Keep seeing that but 2nd Twente spell, both Derby spells win % , would have us sitting comfortably top 6. For newly promoted that would be great and a good platform to build from. He has been working for FIFA recently and his job involves covering Scotland so would be me more than aware, but believe he wants a "local" assistant. Tommy Wright is he even interested? I would happily consider him for the role, but he did leave Saints, not happy with DoF, and wanting to spend more time at home in N Ireland. As he hasn't got NI job though who knows.

A nice, congratulations for a funny joke sign...

Really?? I thought he was being original too, haven't seen, or read it before here or on any other forum nor seen it every 2nd tweet about McClaren for past 2 days.

Didn't qualify. Was Sven's assistant(while manager of Middlesbrough) but defeated by Croatia, I think, meant they missed out on European Championships.

I'd disagree a bit with that that but concede your over all point. His last season at Derby they had been 1st to 3rd all season. Entered March in 1st, then pretty much stopped playing, finished in 5th. It was a calapse of epic proportions, but both Derby stints had decent win % & 2nd Twente wasn't too bad but never in a month of Sundays going to live up to the 1st one. If he stays for 2 seasons and the likes.of Daly, Robson & McPhee have been interviewed as assistants to be groomed to take over then I'm OK with a short spell. Assuming it's successful. But I'm sure you'll be here to laugh should it all go wrong!! ( Would be disappointed in any Dee who didn't)

No I totally get it. There are some howlers in his CV too, Wolfsburg, Forest, Newcastle and QPR. He joined Forest straight after Billy Davies and those last 3 clubs mentioned were basket cases (QPR 21 managers in 10 years or something similar). Having said that after every "bad" one he has a good spell, his last one was bad so....

His first spell, the form plummeted towards the end of the season & they finished outside the playoffs. But the bad form was at the same time as the Newcastle speculation. Although whether that was him or players who knows.

Nope not for me, looking at stats(I know never tell the full story) Derby, both spells, were pretty good.. didn't get promotion which was the aim, so that was the failure. Everyone failed at Newcastle until Benitez.

If Steve McClaren is appointed I will be delighted. Let's be fair outside the gruesome twosome, for a club to appoint such a high profile manager from outside Scotland is pretty rare. Should generate interest in our league as well, which hopefully is good. I think his record is pretty decent, certainly better than McKay's. Yes he has had some bad spells, but over all I'm happy. I've seen some folk using his second spell at Derby as a stick to beat him with, but if he has that record with United next season that would have us on near 60 points comfortably in top 6. As a coach he has a good reputation and for us Arabs, Johnny Russell speaks highly of him.

Nope, we'll supply him with some natty new United golf umbrellas. It's what the serious negotiations were all about.

If Scott Burns is writing a story about McClaren being interviewed, then I'd be accepting that as true. If he is available and interested, and let's be fair he isn't going to be interviewed if he isn't, then I'd take him. It might be a disaster, but with his record would be a tremendous appointment on paper.

As much as I do not want him as manager Show Racism the Red Card have given him support, or at least the OK of sorts. https://www.theredcard.org/news/2016/12/15/the-role-of-education-in-changing-attitudes https://www.theredcard.org/news/2017/10/16/srtrc-responds-to-malky-mackays-interim-appointment As said I don't support his appointment, if it happens, due to his record, his comments are uncomfortable, and the division it is already causing etc. #UnitedTogether it most certainly is not. I merely responding to the bold text.

Again it's opinions, we all have them and they aren't always right. As I said above the "deifying" wasn't directly at you but in general some of the nonsense & talking up of managers.with poor records that are some how great because of "England". Your opinions just caught a nerve after reading so many about possible names in the frame.

That is true, but his ONLY decent stat has him backed by Billionaire Tan. I agree that stats do not show the state of the.club, budget etc, but to me it looks like he is a success with money, but this "forlock tugging, English league, English League please help us poor Scottish yokels" deifying of some folk because they worked in England gets on my tits. I' m not saying you are taking it that far, but of all the names allegedly interviewed/interested McClaren blows Malky out the water, bit he's a "clown". For me his record IS poor other than Cardiff.

His record isn't very good though is i

Remember kids, don't do drugs! Seriously he needs to take his own advice "DONT BELIEVE ALL YOU READ/HEAR, AND ONLY BELIEVE HALF OF WHAT YOU SEE."

I wasn't saying that the other clubs were making, or requiring,.or wanted to make any representations to the court. Merely depending on legal makeup of SPFL would they be allowed to see the SPFL's response due to being members etc? As seeing what their organisation was doing in respons
