I would imagine it will be one of the 7 vile Arab c***s currently in charge of a Championship mob.
 

And the c***s gave the cheek to call us The Fun.

You will always be the Fun.  The 6p in the pound Fun.

I assume the delay on step 3 is due to the current ambulance waiting times?

Traffic on Kingsway. Wasn't life threatening so no lights or sirens.

I believe Big Dunc would be a good appointment. His managerial record with Everton is limited but it’s definitely not bad, he got some decent results. He’s a very passionate character and would command the respect of his players. I’ve seen some people saying the United players looked disinterested on Sunday, you can bet that Big Dunc would have them well drilled and wouldn’t stand for any shite.

Heard a vicious vicious rumour it's Sir Craig returning.

Not the 9 GA in a game Fun though.

The never seen my club lift a major trophy fun to most of your fans though.

Does he not part own Brechin or something now?

Levein just ruled himself out on Radio Scotland. 

 

He loved his time at the club and would love to help but couldnt work with United at the moment.

 

Wouldn't say any more but sounded like an Ashgar issue.

The  ‘issue’ with Craig Levein being that he effectively relegated Hearts with one of the biggest budgets in the league. I like him a lot better than I expected as a pundit but he shouldn’t be near any managerial job at a professional club again.

Is there a chance you'll take Tammy Courts back?

Clever money would be Michael ONiell but that would also take a lot more money from Ogren.

I could see Duncan Ferguson taking it. He's clearly bonkers so I'm all in on this.

Good luck with the potential appointment of Michael O'Neill.

Having watched Stoke City's fortunes (Mrs TCM's club) for the thick end of 20 years, not an appointment I would overly recommend, imho.

Mind you, if the footballing side fails, he is, or was a fully qualified Financial Advisor, however not much call for that service at Tannadice either.

In fairness to him, he did a wonderful job at Stoke dealing with a squad containing some vastly overpaid/rated players on ludicrously long contracts and brought the club back to a more secure financial footing bearing in mind the strict Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules down there. Don't recall any major fees being paid during his tenure, the pressure was always on to get players moved on. The club is not short of money being owned by the Coates family (Bet365), just not allowed to spend it

The footballing side as I say, was never overly convincing, however he was unlucky with numerous major injuries to key players at important times over the last two seasons past.

Merely an observation.

I think most of the fans calling for Levein have forgotten this minor detail. He was great for us, but he left in 2009.

we may be that but you are the 11 GA in a game Fun, so probably didn't help your case.

He was one that had his moments in management for sure. Did well at Cowdenbeath and his first spell at Hearts too. His last spell however he seemed to be getting done by agents by offering multiple long term deals to players from outwith British football with little due diligence. Probably a guy who just didn’t move with the times and got caught by the new pitfalls.

He's open to being approached though. 

It's between him and O'Neill I would say. 

After his history with the Scottish football authorities, can't see him ever darkening the doors up here again.

This is interesting cos only a couple of years ago when we were looking for a replacement for Neilson, Levein said he'd love the chance.

No Neil Lennon on the poll?

I have published an article on four runners and riders for the Dundee United job, if anybody would be interested in reading.
