I don't think so, I think it was Mike Martin that did.

Tommy wright will be in with a shout  

Can't wait for the Saints fans to pop up in either this thread, or our actual thread, quoting the various walloper United fans on twitter shooting down shouts for Wright, not because he'd expect a better gig, but because he isn't "United quality".

Can't say I'd even blame them, there's already a few lining up to be mocked for that patter.

Time for Bowman to step out of the shadows. Give him the job.

Really hope you're at it?

[ArabianKnight]

It won't be someone on this list.

No.

Neilson was appointed in October. Ogren officially took control in the December.

I hope their appointments are as bat shit mental as our American overlords.

Billy Broon.

Been their, done hings, seen hings.

Would probably struggle to get him as a player only but if offered the player manager gig Andy Robertson  would be a fool to turn down a foot on the ladder.

Excellent.

Means an absolutely no mark, with no experience of Scottish football, is a real possibilty.

I'm not entirely sure Steve Brown would let Tommy Wright walk out halfway through a 3 year deal and not have some form of clause around him joining another Scottish club within months, tbh.

Either way I think he just wanted a total break from management, so I'd be surprised if he joined United, especially with the NI job still open.

Duncan Ferguson please.

Neil Mccan.

Nap.

There is not a hope in hell you'll appoint the current Everton assistant manager whilst he's being groomed by one of the world's best managers to be his replacement when he leaves.

[Snifter Pee Rot]

Tommy Wright must be a stick on. Can't see Potter making another comeback. 

[ArabFC]

Agreed that Big Dunc wouldn’t return, although wouldn’t that be fantastic? Even if he was shite!

I’m on the Sir Craig of Levein bandwagon - screw the lot of you!

An option unlisted, who holds the often-required qualification of being a good former player is Billy McKinlay.

Complete the circle

I think for a few reasons Tommy Wright is unlikely.

Barry Robson, anyone?

[Radford]

Not sure Tommy Wright and the current structure at United is the right mix but then every job that would maybe appeal to him will arguably present the same problems. 

He's surely not going to jump into anything until the Northern Ireland situation is clear either.

Seeing him in the United dugout wouldn't be easy! 

[Gibby82]

It’ll likely be a younger manager who is happy to work under Tony Ashgar, like Neilson was. Would be amazed if Tommy Wright is up for that sort of role, and equally amazed if United went for him.
