Hope he accepts the harsh reality of never being the Hibs manager either.

TBH Hibs barely got a mention, on the other hand he was quite happy to talk about Rangers and how that's the biggest job. I did agree with what he was saying about Scott Brown though. I'd like to see Brown as Hibs manager someday, but that's just my opinion.

Strange interview with everyone's favourite, Kevin Thomson: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60104756.

Confirms that he was interviewed for the Kilmarnock job and that, again, he dreams of being Sevco manager. Strange comment that "The harsh reality is I'm never going to be the Celtic manager, so the top for me would be the Rangers manager".

I think the harsh reality is you're unlikely to be either, Kev. But it's a slightly curious comment.

I honestly don’t know what goes through his head when he does these interviews.

Guys a total weapon. If he was chocolate he'd eat himself. He also constantly refers to it as 'footy' and it really annoys me.

He does appear to be employed by the most understanding club in the world, its one thing to be approached by a bigger club when your in a job....its another to be actively touting yourself. Comments like these also mean it is very unlikely he could ever manage Hibs or Aberdeen as well, the kind of clubs that would provide the type of spring board that could lead to an appointment like Rangers. Can't imagine too many clubs being overly interested if they think he will be looking for the next step after being in the door for 5 mins.
Kelty are going well this season and the St Johnstone score certainly will have given them a bit more press, even so not too many will be looking at the 4th tier of Scottish football for their next managerial appointment.

Hodgson about to take over at Watford. Guy must be about 80 by now - has been around forever 😂 more fool him, can’t be needing the payday at his age.

It’s Watford. Sign a 2 year deal, get paid off after a few months…

Just checked, he’s 74. He doesn’t need that ‘stress’ and pay off surely. I’d 100% understand a younger manager cracking on, but not someone who should’ve retired yonks ago.

If other clubs are looking at him, they will be thinking ‘can he make the step up?’

One thing he could do is behave like a top manager, show that he’s got the nous for it. And an important part of that is not talking about managing other clubs.

Don't see how, when a new owner comes in, there's always a good chance they'll want their own man on place, McCann will know that.

It's not very good for the stability of a football club at this stage of the season. Unless they spend millions in the next 7 days Hull have a pretty ***** squad that could easily now find themelves in relegation bother.

End of the season, fair enough I would kind of see their point but now, having had a good season and performing well above themselves, not as much.

Have to say, after seein he’s signed till the end of the season, you gotta admire that he is up for this! Me bein nearer his age than most previously discoursin on what & when, that’s a subjective one, some spend they’re best young energetic time railing away unnecessarily, & mebbes tire, others due to genetics or fate or whatever are up for it at 50/60/70 who knows, but just as kids develop at different levels as they grow up, aulder yins go to pasture at different stages tae! One thing I know, having never been 60 or 70 or subjected to the retirement caper yet, I am no in any rush to embrace it. Wasn’t in my 20/30s either cos I knew nothing about it. But that’s just me.

Or perhaps the owner feels it’s important to get a new manager in and settle himself in over the next few months before pre season to have a better chance next season? They aren’t going to get promoted this season but I doubt they will get relegated either. It’s fair enough if they have aspirations of going to the Premier League and want to replace the manager who has them sitting 19th in the Championship.

It's a bit like the Still Game episode where they mind Navids shop for him while he's away.
