Welcome Grant McCann

Class act was Nige.

 

He won't carry the can.

 

Now that's something I'd like to see, we can live in hope DB, something us long suffering City fans are used to!!

McCann looks like a bruiser, so I know who my money would be on....... (Not that I condone violence!)

 

I'm not so sure, Ehab might twat him with his polo stick...

 

Nah, wrong people, wrong time, right location.

 

I reckon McCann would take the stick off him and shove it somewhere where the sun doesn't shine...Not that I condone violence, but on 2nd thoughts.

 

Probably the same people on here who called Adkins to **** early on last season who are now making him out to be the greatest thing since sliced bread.

 

Yep.

 

Cut his teeth at Peterborough and seems to have done ok under a difficult chairman. The amount of bile coming from Donny fans would suggest we've nicked a bloke who's done a good job for them and plenty of ex-players, ex-club and international teammates saying it's a decent fit for us and him.

TWT but he'll have a tough job here and one he will have gone into with his eyes wide open, so good luck to him .

I don't really expect anything other than mid / lower table obscurity unless he gets substantive backing from the gruesome twosome.

At least we have someone in the building to deal with ins and outs and put his own team together rather than the clusterfuck of some recent close seasons.

Plenty of away days next season, so let's hope the trips are entertaining.

 

Will he be doing his own theme tune like Terry?

We are run by a pair of Arthur Daley’s!

 

Yep, Grant (right) and Warren Feeney (left), two local lads on a mural on the corner of Sandy Row and Donegall Road:

A very popular player with the NI fans, he also had his own song:

"What a friend we have in midfield,
And his name is Grant McCann,
He is better than Ronaldo,
Lionel Messi and Zidane."

(He wasn't really. Though close enough on a good day. )

Anyhow, whilst never the most naturally gifted of players (though no mug, either), he was nonetheless a thorough professional who made the very best of his ability.

And while it's still early days, he looks to be taking that quality into management, too.

 

Yeah that's the one.
Saw a few while I was there.

 

Actually, you could easily adapt that song eg:

"There's a genius in the dugout,
And his name is Grant McCann,
He is smarter than Mourinho,
Guardiola and Zidane"

Until the first five goal drubbing, at least lol

 

You write 'em, we'll sing 'em.

 

You're welcome - it's only fair exchange for our borrowing "Here's to you, Stuarty Elliott"

 

He aint met him yet! LD will be back from his hols 9 Aug.

 

I think his new song should be

Ehab is a ****
Ehab is a ****
Granty Granty give us a wave
Ehab is a ****

Kills two birds with one stone

 

One of all my all time favourites at City.
He would probably have become Citys most goals in a season record holder (2004/5 - had to check it) if he hadn't been crocked half way through. ****ing hammer of a left foot.

 

Here's another one for you ..... Patrick O'Connell. Links with City and Barcelona, man utd and The Biggest Club In The Universe and Sheffield. I know there is a big mural for him but pretty sure there was a much smaller memorial in a non descript wall, blink and you'd miss it type of thing.
Tell me I'm not imagining it. Mile or so away from Windsor Park

 

He was also the best I have seen in recent times of heading. He leapt like a bloody Salmon.
