More quality journalism... couldn't be more non-committal if they tried.

Hugh Keevins is an anagram of "he gives hunk"...?

Seems like an astute PR move from JB to grab the moral high ground in the managerial merry go-round, what with Aberdeen and Celtic seemingly being happy to tap up prospective managers before any official approach was made. Just hope it doesn't backfire

Footballing-wise you're right, I dare say his salary will move rather more upwards than sideways, though. Can't say I wouldn't do just the same in his position.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Or, it may just mean he's off to Aberdeen, if you believe this.

You do know Kazakhstan is a country that's bigger than the whole of Western Europe put together, not just some wee town that your mate lives in, right?!

I dunno, but they manage it not so badly here in Ireland. (But yes, I know there aren't many players from the Irish league in the Irish national squad, and there won't be any Irish teams threatening the group stages of the Champions League anytime soon.)

It wasn't all "years ago" though, was it. The only reason he was free to join Motherwell in the first place is because Derby County dismissed him for getting pissed and parking his car on the middle lane of a motorway, which could have had all sorts of unthinkable consequences. He's just a complete muppet.

There are three kiwis in each set of three circles though, so technically 18 is indeed the correct kiwi headcount

White, if the previews are to be believed.

What a steaming pile of mince. McGhee he has absolutely nothing to dither about. If he'd been made an offer and had been thinking it over for a week or two, *that* would be dithering, but nobody's even asked to speak to him so far. Are AFC expecting him to phone up Pittodrie and demand the job or something?

Meanwhile, in today's Herald...

From Day 7 Update: Didn't know big Dirk was back helping out!

My dad and my brother tried for about a fortnight, failed in different ways pretty much every time from what I heard...

He's kidding himself if he thinks he's not going to get just the same treatment from all the ex-pat Old Firm neds in Oz, though! Bed made -> lie on it, I'm afraid...

I can't really see us attracting any higher calibre of player just because they might get to play in two or three qualifying rounds of the Europa League... they weren't exactly knocking down our door when we were straight into the first round proper last year.

Jeez-oh, I must have been feeling flush that day

Probably just phoned a bookie, expect they've been working on the odds since Saturday afternoon!

"Motherwell's Mark McGhee, Burnley's Owen Coyle, West Bromwich Albion's Tony Mowbray and Dundee United's Craig Levein are the early frontrunners to step into the hotseat."
