The difference is NM acted in a way that had a very positive result for the club. I'm hopeful that this shows him in a very good light and it will help him with managing our team to success.

NM acted in a way the fans were desperate for in that particular game - physical and direct against a very weak opponent i.e. putting in Haber. This was forced on him from what I can see, so jury still out for me.

His hand was forced somewhat but if he was a stubborn bugger he wuda went one up top, still had to do what was best for the team and he made that decision.

As an aside I think ill find it much easier to forgive mccanns mistakes when he makes them as he comes across so well and so clearly when discussing the team.

There seemed to be a huge togetherness amongst the team on weds Tha hasn't been evident since NM first couple of games.

That in itself wont make you a good manager but fostering this "why not Dundee", "winners mentality" wont do any harm.

I always got the feeling ph was in it for ph, I sense off McCann hes in it for the club and personal ambition maybe a distant 2nd.

Just my opinion though.

Don't get this 'managers in it for themselves' nonsense.

Managers ultimately are only successful if their team is successful.

Its just a feeling I got off McCann, like his managerial path had been mapped oot plus always trying to see things in players others couldn't.

Example I don't get the feeling Brenda is using tic as a stepping stone but got the feeling waghorn was.


Oops that shud read ph.

His team against Ross County smacked of I know best. He didn't. Not to say fans know best, but we're not mugs, we know what we're seeing. The team which started the season proper would have struggled on Wednesday, imo, could have been ET and pens. My mood lifted tremendously when I saw El Bak and Haber were starting. I expect to see them both on Saturday, much tougher game as well.

So do you think he shud/will restore odea?

I just thought against county one up top wuda worked better with McGowan in the team although the team he picked Tha day was the team I wuda picked.

He got it wrong although there was plenty underperformers last Saturday....we were better after McGowan came on admittedly with county sitting in holding what they had.

McCann has one managerial gig in his locker, this is it. Then it's back to punditry. Bit like Neville and Shearer, dip the toe in the water but that's it.

Very surprised you think this way.

Any reason why?

Never sure how much fun it can be working as a pundit. It seems to be very demanding and very time consuming.

I hope your assessment of NM is wrong. Think Neville and Shearer found out for themselves that they were poor managers and they were glad to get out. If we are NM's only gig, it would seem to imply that he will give up because it ended in failure, or perhaps the experience made him disillusioned with managing a team and he chose to walk away. Still don't really understand why he took the job and gave up being a pundit.
