Neil McCann made another shameless pitch for a job at Ibrox last night.
The chants from Ibrox about Russell Martin had barely died down when management expert McCann snuggled into his pundit role for BBC Sportscene.
Fielding softball questions from his former EBT team-mate Steven Thompson, McCann might as well have put on a rosette with VOTE ME on it as he appealed for Ibrox fans to campaign for his return to the dug-out of dignity
Watching McCann on Sportscene last night the Daily Record reports the former Ibrox assistant saying:
I’m not sure (if he can come back). I don’t know what the new ownership are like. I really, really felt for him, he looked really uncomfortable at the end of the game, there was almost a (sense of) resignation.
And I know he’s not one for walking away, but when the fans show their disdain and their real displeasure like that, then it’s really difficult to come through it.
He would have to go on an enormous run to turn that fan base, because they demand better.
It took McCann, Billy Dodds and Ferguson three months to win a home match at Fortress Ibrox, the Dream Team started off losing at home to Motherwell and Hibs as they discovered that the real world is a lot tougher than life in the media bubble.
Since having their Ibrox contracts ended the day after a draw away to Hibs none of last season’s interim management team have taken up a job inside football.
Within the game it is poor form to become a media critic of the guy that has replaced you but that sort of thing doesn’t bother a vulture like McCann.
As his recent Income Tax issues demonstrate he needs every media appointment going but the call of the home dug out at Ibrox is one that he can’t resist.
After being taken in, used and booted out as interim manager Ferguson might have second thoughts over going in again as interim manager.
McCann wouldn’t hesitate for a second if he was offered the job of managing the Tribute Act.
Hopefully his dream comes true, rather than being pitchside with Emma and Hutts for Saturday’s League Cup tie against Hibs McCann can be wearing the blazer and brogues, putting the world to right as manager of the club founded by Charles Green in 2012.
That wee cunt could slither under a door wearing a top hat.Fuckin wee rat a horrible bastard.
A Sleekit MIDGET RAT BASTARD! Pity Big Zander DIDNY LEATHER the wee Cunt bak in the Day lol! 🙂
I really hope McCann gets the job. He’ll be a great appointment. For us.
Terry McCann one of the 3 Stoogies with wee Benny Ferguson the manager running the show that failed the last time,demanding another go.
It’s a wee bit like the advert from years ago when they advertised games for Christmas time,Operation was the name of the game doing the rounds,the catchphrase for that was,operate can I have a go.
That’s your man Mccann.
The funniest part is McCann appears to believe his own bullshit. Much as I’m lapping up Kevin Vegan’s reign of error at present (being light relief from our own ‘internal issues’), I’d probably swap that for the pleasure of watching McCann’s histrionic hissy fits were he to take over the job of trying to get a tune out of that squad!
