I like emotions and I like a lot of team spirit.” I really like the sound of him and that sort of chat as well But didn’t Cathro say he’d have us playing in a way that we’d be running down the streets to get into the ground to watch us?

People are trying hard to airbrush all this and pretend that there’s no trend but I can’t have confidence in Budge making the right appointment. And I doubt McPhee is out of the running either.

And I doubt McPhee is out of the running either. 1) Which she has since said that she accepts she made a mistake with the appointment (which was pushed by a member of the board, not Ann or Craig, and they accepted.) She has since Levein sacking confirmed that they are going for a completely different process getting outside help in making the decision. 2) Yes, I agree she should have sacked him a month earlier than she did. She has explained why, whether you agree with the reasons or not. 3) You do realise that sometimes you dont know a candidates full situation until you talk to them. And we are only seeing the process of selecting a manager through slits and selected information that comes out. So most are making assumptions based on very limited information or through personal prejudices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the big thing is nobody really knows what’s happening but some are getting raging angry about it anyway. I don’t see why the process should take 4-6 weeks but that’s what she said and despite wanting someone in ASAP it’s still a case of who being more important than when, to me.
