I tell you what, I'd fucking love it if McClaren was appointed with BOTH Daly and Robson as his assistants. Unlikely, I know, but two young, hungry coaches who know this club inside out, 2 ex-captains during fairly successful times for the club, leaders on the pitch so very likely leaders off of it, have great experience of the league. The more I think about it, the more I think that is a dream scenario. Imagine the standard they would set.

Yeah I wonder about Mackay leading Project Brave & all that & how he's getting on. It was a tough entry into the role cos of the very well documented baggage attached but fair game, he's in his 4th year so he must be doing something right (or maybe not, Weegie Mafioso etc).

But yesterday on here I admit to a change of heart as I began to respect more the anti-Mackay brigade's opinions. Yes he deserves a 3rd chance (hampden was his 2nd) but there are others around who are just as good and who aren't going to tarnish our good name.
£100k compo then comes into it but who knows, that might turn out to be a bargain as he propels us into Europe (if there are any flights).

So the three horses I can't separate. There are equal cases pro & anti them & I'll be surprised & delighted at whoever gets it but you know what, it's probably going to be none of the three.

Yep done deal! No sure if it will be announced tonight or tomorrow

McClaren (wish he could spell) is 2/7 with SkyBet. Wm Hill not picked up on it, they're 6/4 Mackay, twos McClaren & Wright. Wright;s way out to 12/1 on skyBet, they've dismissed him. McClaren could be a strong Asghar choice cos he will be the guy who clues him up on Scottish fitba & I'm sure he pokes his nose in. But will McClaren like that & what about his mate(s), assistant(s), who might they be.
Getting interesting.

Neil Lennon
Robbie Neilson
Derek McInnes
Jack Ross
Craig Levein

What do they have in common? Failed in England. The boy we are baw-hair away from announcing has held his own overall in England and excelled at times.

Id be off my tits happy if Steve McClaren got the job.  I'm honestly not sure how well he'd do but the statement this makes from United and the exposure this will bring.  His connections within the game too at just about every level, would be thrilled with this.  Even if he did balls up the England job...
 

 
None of us wanted England to win anyway 😂😂

makes this a bit more appropriate.

Will bring a lot of extra exposure which will probably be a good thing.
Be ready for not 'Dundee United' but 'Steve McClaren's Dundee United' on Sky.

I cannot believe we’ve got 150 grand for neilson and replaced him with Steve mcclaren, incredible, pretty speechless about it tbh

Money for Neilson will cover McClaren's wages for a year. Insanity.

He'll be on more than Neilson was, surely.  Especially now that we're in the Premier.

 
I think he means the compo, not Neilsons wage

Anybody's better than Hart.

Sorry Shakey I do enjoy your early morning contributions from Down Under-ish but I couldn't give a FF about Celtic's F'n goalie.
Here we are locked in a 3-horse race for the most crucial DUFC managerial appointment ever since the  last one & you're discussing the merits of Forster v Hart!
Benji's better than both of them anyway
 

 
Awfy lot fewer words on Hart than yours on mnenomics lessons !

McClaren (spellcheck pls Smedz  )

....Yes
.......when it's on the phsul - Yeeeeeaassssss ! !!

Robson, icing on the cake if that happens.

Good onya Ogren
Good onya Ashgar
Good onya Neilson
