Really?? Boy needs to get his finger out then. Tommy Wright my arse! I’m setting my sights a bit higher than that now! I’d Guardiola not meant to be unsettled if this European ban goes through for Man City? Edited June 24, 2020 by Junior_Arab 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabFC Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Talking of Man City, I think their owners have something like 10 different clubs in different countries. I’m surprised they haven’t bought an SPFL club and ploughed some money in to beat the Old Firm to the league just for a laugh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever had that sort of cash I'd buy United and plough in some serious cash and bring in some of the best coaches money could buy so that we were bringing through the best youth in the country. I'd then buy The Rangers and Celtic and appoint my dog as manager of both and get them relegated and shut them down. I'd pay my dogs contract up though. I'm not a monster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 As much as St Johnstone fans would go into complete frothdown- with the NI interviews getting underway I can easily see Baraclough or Robinson getting the job ahead of Wright and Wright ultimately getting the United job. Danger of that is if Robinson gets the job then Motherwell will be fishing in the same managerial circles and be a bigger pull right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Tommy may well drum up some interest in his available services by stating that he's interested in the Dundee United job. He could be bookie's favourite until the very last second. But one thing's for sure: Tommy Wright will not be Dundee United manager. There's absolutely no chance. It's a bizarre notion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be daft not to (Unless Motherwell want him or he gets the NI job) as I can't see him pitching up at a bigger club than either of those.

I said that a while ago. Hes not going to be our manager. Ever. Hes using the speculation to get a better deal out of wherever he goes. It's as obvious as the day is long. He had the run of Perthshire for what he did at you lot. Hes not going to come work under Asghar and friends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be daft not to (Unless Motherwell want him or he gets the NI job) as I can't see him pitching up at a bigger club than either of those. Who says he'll be managing a club again at all? Hes previously quit a management role due to the stress of full time management, but got back into it as he felt he was too young to chuck it entirely. Hes now approaching his 60s, has admitted he missed living with his wife, and has been on a hefty salary for the past 6 years. Does his quotes in the spoiler tag sound familiar? Spoiler "I did not take this decision lightly but I have become disillusioned with certain aspects of the game and perhaps have taken Ballymena as far as I could. "I have some personal reasons too that mean the time is right to move on. I enjoyed my time at the club and I think we have made progress," said Wright. "It would have been easy to resign when we were going badly at the start of the season or when Norwich invited me to join them as goalkeeping coach in January. "But since the end of February I have become a bit disillusioned and maybe the fact that I have been full-time has worked against me. "Perhaps I took on too much in terms of my work at the club and that has taken its toll on me. When it affects your personal life, it is time to call it a day. "I am leaving behind a good squad of young players who I think can do well in this league." Wright emphasised that he did not have another job in football lined up. "I am going to relax and take a total break from football, there is no hidden agenda. I have nothing else lined up and it is the right decision for me, my family and Ballymena United." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/irish/7368981.stm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pull My Strings Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 The Johnnies are absolutely frantic at the notion of Wright becoming United manager. Relax, he won't even be on the shortlist. Get on with your lives. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember what he did last time we were after him? He'll either be using the speculation to get a better deal or hell be laughing his head off at us on the highway to retirement. Hes not said anything to the press because he dosent need to. Being honest hes not the right guy for us. Not with the setup we have.
