Next manager

[tHeArAb]

So your attitude towards his vile opinions is that other peoples are worse. That's a great argument. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Did you just ignore the 14 lines prior to the 5 you've picked up on?

So the fact he admitted he was wrong , gone through various rehab programmes and has the backing of Kick it Out isn't enough for you ??? , no one is agreeing with what he put on those texts , what we are saying is he recognised it was wrong and did something about it . There are people still in the game that have done worse , the man is not a criminal ffs

Not one poster has questioned Malky's football credentials, for me he is a better candidate than most of the muppets named in next manager betting.

I questioned his credentials the other day. A 37% win percentage isn't very good in the grand scheme of things. What I find hard to judge however, is taking this percentage from a league, or leagues, far superior to ours and using it as a guager on how well he'd do up here.

Personally I am not happy about his text messages. It will also look bad for club if he’s

More than that I don’t think he’s a very good manager.

Did badly in his last role at Wigan. Had money to spend at Cardiff but didn’t do well in Prem. Ultimately when watched his teams play they are very uninspiring

Don’t want him appointed

seemingly we've asked for permission to speak to him

Can we just a managers credentials on a 5 month failing in the English Premiership? They weren't even in the relegation zone when he was sacked, 5 months after getting them promoted.
He got Cardiff to the League Cup final while in the Championship. Lost the playoff final in his first year in the Championship. Won the Championship in his second season. He did badly at Wigan but they were a sinking ship long before he took over.

How many managers managing in the Scottish Premiership could do what Mackay did at Cardiff? None would be my answer.

No doubt if we appoint him there will be another thread on wallow wallow from the bigoted vile scumbag sevco followers calling us all sorts,while promoting there unique brand of sectarianism and hatred.
Mind you the feelings mutual

theres also a large element who love to appear as offended and try shout the loudest when really its all just for attention, GB style FACT

I'm not opposed to his appointment on the grounds of his offensive text messages, given that he has undergone rehabilitation and learned the error of his ways. But I do disagree with the standpoint that people can't actually be genuinely offended by these remarks. It's easy to call people mock offended when you don't actually understand what offence is caused and why. I agree with the other poster that there is an element of " it was OK before so why not now? " on this board. Age isn't an excuse gents.

when it's people i know who are appearing to be offended and have colourful pasts then i think i can and ages with me late 30's early 40's. facebooks full of these pretenders

Facebook had the independence referendum in the bag for the Yes campaign.I have never trusted it since.Malky appears to have the backing of many on here including me.
Younger people have been educating me on being more inclusive and tolerant towards others and they have swayed me towards forgiving Malky for his mistake in the past.

It didn't, its just that the YES brigade never shut the **** up and it gave that impression.

I'd say the majority here are for Mackay, Eastfootball is very much split, possibly more against, and Facebook is certainly against the appointment.
