    Just one point to pick up on. The majority of us don’t want a head coach. That’s Edin’s idea. He wants a puppet he can manipulate. We the fans want a manager. Someone who knows what they’re doing and that has complete say over all things football related.

    Might have legs. It definitely ties in with the update from the club.

    He's a highly regarded coach who'd improve players. He's young so we'd be looking at the long term.

    The big concern is he bombed at Hearts in a big way, in his first job. Really seemed to struggle with the man management side of things. Hearts were relegation candidates when they sacked him.

    According to a sentence on his Wikipedia page it says an ex player said his training ‘lacked intensity’ - perfect for our wimps!

    If Andy Tod is coming back, can we tempt Gary Locke and Jim Jefferies to be part of the backroom team too?

    And Mark Stewart as forwards coach.

    This would certainly rival the Dave Hockaday signing in terms of sheer fecking stupidity.

    I'm in!

    I note he was McLaren's assistant at Newcastle once upon a time. I would take McLaren for sure with Cathro assisting.
    If the board want a coach, unlike some who seem to dismiss his credentials, McLaren would be ideal. Doubt we could tempt him to league 1 though

    Andy Tod now there's a name from the past, hardly had a chance at City as we had Jim Jefferies and he used him as a makeshift target man.

    Cathro now 12/1 third favourite from nowhere with SkyBet. Perhaps there is something in this. Seems a strange choice if so though

    He has a good track record of working with young players.

    If there is truth in this, that could be what attracted the owners to him? The owners have said themselves that they want to focus a lot on the development team.

    Bookies don't have a clue on these markets.

    It's run rumours and of course bets.

    Its mad inst it?

    Our owners want ‘ATTACKING FOOTBALL’ yet they bought us no wingers, we had 1 on loan all eason, and only 1 out and out striker

    And then about 25 average attacking midfielders

    The mind boggles!

    We actually did a full season with NO LEFT WINGER


    Look at Rotherham today, x4 quality wingers on their books.

    Doesnt matter what manager we get, these owners have said they want whoever comes in to make the best of THIS CURRENT SQUAD, its like expecting preston to win the champions league, pipe dream.

    They didnt buy this club to move up the leagues, they bought it to develop youth and sell for profit!
    Except they even couldnt get that right... none of us want mid table mediocrity for 5 years so they can find one 3m player make money and then sell the club!
    Not me anyway..

    As the days progress and a candidate's odds plunge, there is often more than just a strong rumour behind it. The bookies don't like giving their money away

    Probably a load of gullible feckers (like me) reading this thread and sticking a speculative fiver on it

    Hes a poor mans Mark Warburton. Now thats a man whose ethos fits squarely with Edin's. Out of our league Id say though.
