skinny arab Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Cant help but think that once the Scotland game is out of the way that McCall will be confirmed as Utd manager. Not who I would like personally but cant say I have a clear preference out of the names being linked so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 McCall's haircut makes him feel like more of a Dundee type of guy. Stick in a tache and he would be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 As I've said before, Bowman being appointed is the equivalent of us appointing Bomber in the ridiculous stakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not who I would like personally but cant say I have a clear preference out of the names being linked so far. Of all the most likely realms of possibility names put forward, McCall says long-term development more than the rest. For example, though he's done a sterling job at ICT, I cannot see how John Hughes is the man to help usher in a new era of sustained relative success and direction. Whoever has Bowman as odds on is having a giraffe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 As for my thoughts on who United should appoint, well: McCall - He seems best suited for the job in my opinion. He's a steady manager who'll no doubt improve United and there's not much to hate him for other than his stupid hairdo, so as a Dee, I'd not like to see this one come off, but to be fair, this seems like the safest option for United. Mixu - Reckon he's a much bigger risk than McCall, but at the same time, if he does well I reckon he'd do much better than McCall 'doing well' if that makes sense. He favours a flowing, attacking style and with players like Connolly, Spittal etc, United just need the right man to take United's flair players to the next level. Hughes - As a Dee, I'd be relatively happy with this appointment, despite his well doings at ICT and Falkirk, he's always struck me as a slavering buffoon and I reckon he'd do more harm than good. Steve Evans - I'd absolutely love it if he was appointed, HOOF, only bettered in the hate-ability stakes by Pressley who now looks very unlikely. Tommy Wright - I'd love it purely for the St Johnstone seeth and I can't see his defensive style going down well at Tannadice no matter how well he does.

Whoever has Bowman as odds on is having a giraffe. I had a look at Hughes' wiki page the other day. He's barely been out of work since taking over at Falkirk in 2003 (18 months or so between leaving Hibs and going to Livi) and is approaching 500 games in management. Won more games than he's lost over that period which, considering the teams he's been with, is pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though he failed to turn around a form-struggling Hartlepool (relegated) and failed in the spotlight at Hibs. He just doesn't say long-term vision to me.

They finished 4th in his first season and within a few months he was punted. That possibly says more about Hibs than it does about Hughes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, If I remember correctly he did significantly improve Hartlepools results, but they were in such a bad position when he took over it would have been very difficult for anyone to save them.

That possibly says more about Hibs than it does about Hughes. We had a brilliant start that season then after Christmas I can't remember the exact stat but hardly won any games in a horrible run of form. He tried to turn it around but carried it into the next season, he lost the dressing room and fans. It was correct to let him go in the end.

Fife Saint Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 It'd be mildly amusing if the Arabs landed Tommy Wright's reserve coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
