Next manager

[GUNBOAT]

Cheers GB, never been a betting man so not too clued up with it all but had a roughish idea.

Am i right in thinking the more bets placed on an individual the more they become 'the favourite' but it doesn't necessarily mean the bookies actually think they'll get the job.?!

Or am I talking absolute bollox ?��

No you are spot on mate as indicated by by post 935.Hundreds of Arabs can bet that McPoke will get the jail when he goes to court but although its our favourite outcome unfortunately it does not mean he will get locked up.

McClaren has turned United down according to Sky Sports News.

McCLAREN TURNS DOWN DUNDEE UTD

"Sky Sports News has been told that Steve McClaren has turned down the opportunity to manage Dundee United.

SSN reported earlier this week that Dundee United had held talks with the former England boss over their managerial vacancy after Robbie Neilson left to rejoin old club Hearts.

United have also held talks with former Cardiff manager Malky MacKay."

Back to square 1 it is! The bookies have had a f ucking field day with this appointment. Some of the money rumoured to have been put on McClaren the other night was absolutely astonishing.

He's still 2/5 fav with Skybet at the moment......... I'm putting my house on Mckay at 2/1 now then...

I just really doubt the club are going to go for him considering the split it has caused with the fans. Time will tell I suppose. I'd love for him to get the job from a football perspective but I fear the baggage he brings will be an unwelcome distraction on so many levels.

My main worry is to go for the calibre of managers we have been linked with(English Championship and Premier League) and ending up with Austin MacPhee.

Its going from one extreme to the other and honestly its far too risky.I am not in the slightest bit bothered its not McLaren but its got to be either Mackay or Wright rather than ANYONE with no experience.

MacPhee is going to Northern Ireland with Baraclough mate.

Thought Jimmy Nicholl was being kept on by Baraclough mate?.

Back to the drawing board.

HOLT was my first choice originally - maybe we can go and investigate some other options like that 🤞
