If we appointed Beale (we won’t) could see massive protests at Easter Road if that happens. 

Why would there be massive protests at Easter Road after appointing a fairly poor manager if there weren't really any when you appointed Mackay?

Forgot all about that. He was found not guilty so you can’t really hold that against him.

Of course not, but we can attempt to cancel MM's career based on 5 texts from 10 years ago that he's since supposedly repented of. That's perfectly fair apparently.

Our prejudice is selective.

Not that in reality it should matter, but it would help Malky's case immensely if he wasnt a bang average manager who has the tendency to come across like a bit of a self-pitying arsehole. 

All this furore and fan unrest just to bring in Malky fucking Mackay.

And yes, not wanting racists to get high profile jobs in football is completely fair game.

If indeed they are still racists. What's the test for that?

 Evidence of genuine contrition, I'd expect.

Such as extensive rehab, public apologies and second chances from employers?

Are you in limbo with regards to new signings until a new manager is appointed - if so no offence but long may this continue.

McInnes now linked with the Burnley job and Robinson with the Sunderland job.

Ideal.

Through our relationship with Burnley, I'd like to think we've recommended McInnes and it'll further strengthen our relationship between the two clubs.

David Gray offered the job.

Thank goodness that the full football review and the sporting director and the new investors have collaborated and cast their net so far and wide that we've managed to attract the guy who has been a big part of the last 4 failed management structures and scored a header for us once. 

It gives me confidence.

Binned by Christmas. 

Actually, binned in February just after the transfer window shuts.

Aye right enough, taking a club hero who has never managed previously has been a recipe for success in the past.

He'd be nowhere near the job without that header, we'll be made to pay for it.

Club legend hounded out by Xmas and big Malky to realise the right candidate was along the hall the whole time, appointing himself on a 3 year deal.

[Zing.]

It was always going to be him. Hopefully we’ve given up on the ridiculous recruitment policy and sign some players actually suited to this league, especially in defence. That’ll give him a good chance of improving our fortunes straight off the bat.

Interesting array of scenarios:

Adolf Mackay handed in a list of managers and was ignored in favour of the cheap option.

Malky Farage is happy as Larry as he'll step in when Graybadges gets turfed out.

No serious manager could be tempted to work at Easter Reich under the sinister and lacklustre manager that is Mackay.

Hibs faceless corporate owners were wrong footed by the election and can't get hold of Mackay to discuss the shortlist, as he is out campaigning for Reform.

It's what makes Guardiola the man.   Name a bad bald manager ever,  you can't.
