Walter Bishop Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 ITK? FFS. ITK? Just passing on a rumour im afraid. Source. A very good one however that told me McGlynn would be next manager. Just heard in last half hour from him that Houston is in his words "the man very much wanted and he is keen to come". He also said that Robbo has not been spoken too. I hope its wrong, imo Houston is not the right appointment at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighusref Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I know your mate got McGlynn right and I'm not even saying your mate didn't hear this, all I'm saying is post statement on the website I'd be utterly astonished if we hired him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said his previous record wasn't great which is pretty much fact. I also don't think he is the right man for the job, Houston has more experience but agian, probably not the right man.

PTBCAL Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I love Robbo but to suggest he is a better manager than Houston is frankly ridiculous. I heard this morning that Robbo has not been approached - not sure if it was a wind up or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossthejambo Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Meh, not very imaginative or exciting but he'll probably do a decent enough job.

Mister Dee Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Maybe a better long term option as a manager, but I think we need a short term deal with a fan's favourite like Robbo. After the summer, the new owners can appoint a manager of their choosing without the cost of terminating a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo191 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Believe it when I see it. Obviously has hearts ties, but was only assistant to levein, wonder how he will do managing a club of our size on his own. Whoever gets this job must be backed all the way by the fans.

Gregory House M.D. Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Remind me of exactly how Houston is a better manager than Robbo. Houston IMO has been underachieving with that United side and he's been very fortunate with the good young players that have come through too. Well his Scottish Cup does trump anything Robbo has done and he has maintained United's run in the top 6 despite losing the majority of Leveins experienced players and their 2 best midfielders in the same summer. His sides regularly score goals and he has made shite like John Rankin look like a valuable team player. He's never managed a Dundee United side with a set of top end SPL defenders yet his team were still defensively strong. His midfields were always strong as well despite losing valuable players in those positions year on year. Peter Houston has proven himself far more than Robbo in management. I'm not sure about Houston as Hearts manager but he certainly done a decent job at Dundee United and I'd be willing to give him my full support. Part of the coaching staff that won the Cup in 98 as well so this myth that he has always just been Leveins right hand man is pish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartsfc_fan Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Houstons SPL record: 3rd place - 2009/2010 4th place - 2010/2011 4th place - 2011/2012 Scottish cup - 2010 I'd also imagine his budget was less than Hearts, Hibs or Aberdeen aswell.

He would be a good interim manager at the very least and I don't have a problem with him being given the job permanently (assuming results between now and the end of the seaon are decent).

And there you have it not a bad record in the slightest. It depends on what we want here Robbo to sell ST's till the end of the season or a more long term appointment. If its ???? in the short term then its Robbo but if its a more long term manager we are looking for then Houston is a better choice, not that I am saying he is the one I would chose but if we are only looking at these two then it is depending on how you view it.

alwaysthereinspirit Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 inspire who fans or players? I would say us more. McGlynn was never an inspiration from day one from a fans perspective. Following Paulo was never going to be easy for anyone but coming in after the greatest day in our teams history we needed someone with some oomph. We need someone now who can lift us and the players. Even if its short term. We have a national cup final in less than two weeks. It feels like a morgue on here some days. Mostly due to onfield happenings.
