Would you bet against him !!!
Just been watching the recent Interview with Saunders on AVTV. Memories !!!However has got me thinking - was impressed with McLeish coming out so quickly and laying down the law as to who is the boss, seems to me we could have a new Saunders on our hands, instilling dicipline, focus on teamwork, and a very clear directive saying ' What he says goes'Worked very well for Mr Saunders - I know it was a different era, but refreshing nonetheless not to hear the usual pandering to the players egos . May just work. Would you bet against him !!!

Would you bet against him !!!I'm sorry, it's all nonsense.I'm afraid he's not fit to be mentioned in the same breath as Saunders.The instilling discipline stuff is crowd pleasing guff, very few managers in the Premier League have the power to instill discipline. Upset a player and he'll cause problems in training, get left out and get a nice new club sorted by his agent.I'm preying McLeish can do well, but hyperbole about him before a ball has been kicked in anger is laughable.
Much the same as writing him off before said ball is kicked as well, I suppose
I'm preying McLeish can do well ...
