Optimistic Nut Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I'm liking the idea of this. He'll probably get a 30 year contract as manager after McClaren. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Listened to an interview with him on TalkSport a few months ago, comes across very well indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Head of the Dundee United academy at 22 man. Helped bring through Ryan Gauld. Wonder how long before we're linked with him from Sporting if he comes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Listened to an interview with him on TalkSport a few months ago, comes across very well indeed. I was thinking if that was him too, pretty sure I heard it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 If he's wanting to become a manager fairly soon, he'll take one look at Ashley's history of lazily appointing assistants to the top job and be straight down to the training ground to sign.

Optimistic Nut Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I could get on board with this. Learn the club & a few things from McClaren then when the time comes, job could be his. I don't mind promoting from within if there's a plan in place and not just 'Carver's here, let's give it to him and hope he's not shit'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 McClaren, Cathro, Simpson, Black is far stronger than our previous Laurel & Hardy setup. Just having good coaches and players returning from injury will see us much improved on last season, never mind with a few signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young and progressive manager learning the ropes from an older hand, both with experience on the continent as well. It could work really well provided the owner doesn't stick his oar in too much.

Optimistic Nut Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Let's hope it's more Robson/Mourinho than Wilkinson/Cotterill anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Let's hope it's more Robson/Mourinho than Wilkinson/Cotterill anyway. That was an awesome partnership!!! :lol: In one game, I especially loved how Cotterill was still furiously writting stuff down on his note pad ion the last few minutes when they were already 0-3 down at home to Charlton. I think there was something like 3 own goals as well. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFC_Chris Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 @NUFC360: Steve McClaren is set to finalise his backroom staff at #NUFC with Paul Simpson and Ian Cathro set close to agreeing moves, reports Goal. @NUFC360: A source confirmed to Goal that Simpson and Cathro were the only candidates offered roles by the club. #NUFC Goal is I believe Graham Bailey.

LooneyToonArmy Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Would be a good appointment. Had coaching experience in Portugal and Spain and not backwards thinking like many other British coaches with dinosaur coaching methods. Shame more young coaches don't have the bottle or thinking to go abroad to learn like this guy has. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Excited about this. Nice to have a young guy who is fresh into things on the staff. Will relate to the players a lot more too, and bridge the gap nicely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC_Chris Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Chuffed at this appointment if it happens which it sounds very close to being confirmed. Nuno [describes Cathro] as a “genius”, integral to the success of the side aspiring to be Spain’s third force' http://t.co/v69xR3IC3U Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
