BBC Scotland have thrown themselves fully into backing Neil McCann.
Appointed as manager of Kilmarnock on January 6 he is without a win in three matches.
Led by concerned Celtic fans the media weren’t slow to pile the pressure onto Wilfried Nancy when he lost his first three matches.
Brought in to steer Kilmarnock away from relegation McCann has led has failed to register a win in matches against Livingston, Dundee and Motherwell.
The Dundee defeat was in the Scottish Cup but Kilmarnock fans are starting to get a bad feeling about their new boss.
BBC BROTHERHOOD
BBC Scotland dedicated hours of coverage to how Nancy was failing.
McCann has the full backing of the lads from the state broadcaster- McCann is of course one of their own. He also races around Sky Sports and TNT Sports for payments to meet his tax demands.
Steven Thompson and Steven Naismith are of the same ilk.
Concerned Kilmarnock fans aren’t going to hear any rational discussion on their new manager- certainly not criticism.
BBC Sportscene presenter & ex-Rangers player Steven Thompson and Sportscene pundit & ex-Rangers player Steven Naismith unwilling to criticise ex-Rangers player & coach & ex-Sportscene pundit Neil McCann (many times!) after his Killie team pumped 4-0. The BBC/Rangers brotherhood!

After having his Ibrox contract cancelled in May McCann used his media roles to campaign for a return to management.
Every appearance was to demonstrate his deep understanding of the game, to push and promote himself for a high profile job.
Kilmarnock fell for it.
Nancy got away with bluffing his way through eight matches.
With Kilmarnock in 11th place in the SPFL table, five points adrift of St Mirren, McCann will need to find ways of winning soon if he is to last as long as Nancy.
Watching the highlights. Close call but offside. Unlucky to hit the crossbar. First yellow could easily have been a red & don’t know what he was thinking with 2nd one. Manager talking nonsense as Motherwell were by far the better team.

I only know a couple of Kilmarnock fans and neither wanted that prick as their manager, they thought it was yet another dull, unimaginative appointment from the very limited gene pool of Scottish football’s coaching and instead of just appointing the nearest available ex-hun they would have been better looking through all the CVs they’d have received when they sacked the previous dull, unimaginative appointment, like Motherwell clearly did….
They should put him up against a lettuce to see who lasts longer, like Liz Truss.
Yet another reason I don’t pay a TV licence, seems like good Money I haven’t spent.
Don’t forget the guy who was hand picked by wee Terry to bring back the glory to Rugby Park with him – Doddsy – Billy boy Dodds …another multiple times failure in management ? The Scottish football version of ‘ Cheech and Chong ! ‘ Except these two are about as funny as Lumbar Spinal Stenosis ! Don’t worry as their chairs are being kept open for them when they return to action with the BBC Scottish version next season after Kilmarnock pump them sooner rather than later .
Neil McCant win a game of football ! – He He He He !!!
