Somebody like Grayson could be interesting. That's why we should be waiting until the application deadline, to see if guys like this apply. The club need to get this appointment right and hopefully they will carry things correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redandyellowallover Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 I don't really see anything wrong with the club speaking to Neilson whislt there is still an active deadline for applications. They may decide that they want to speak to the applicants as and when they apply to try and speed up the process, but hold off on an actual decision until they have spoken to all the applicants.

Neilson confirmed as United manager. Says on BBC he did speak to Thistle, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely that he's went for more money, but that could have been part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allyo Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Hate to admit it, but this part of changing your manager is quite good fun. Hope Archie's enjoying some well earned peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

its4nothing! Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Be interesting to see on Saturday if United get the new managerial bounce with Robbie Neilson now appointed, as up till now they have been poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p12tfc Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 The problem with appointing someone like a Simon Grayson is the first decent offer from England he would be gone. I still maintain that despite what he has said before and current circumstances If McCall gets offered the job he will take it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partickthedog Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Trent Alexander Arnold for player manager. Young. Fresh ideas. Plays chess. Plays right back to Champions League and international standard. What more do we need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More chance of getting Terence Trent D'Arby And he has a ready made plea if, in time, the Board were thinking of giving him the sack.

stuart_adam Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Reckon it will be Duffy and Chic coming in. Think whoever it is that does come in, fans need to get behind them and give them the chance. Personally for me, I’d like for us to go outside the box on this one.

We need a strong manager with new ideas. Duffy & Chic, whilst I don’t doubt are decent guys, don’t tick the box for me. There is a good squad of players in there, a decent infrastructure & the upcoming training ground. Attractive to many I’d hope. For me, I am really veering towards McCall - I think he’d be ideal for us at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
