I had expected Ryan Flynn...

The club's statement was very carefully worded, they have decided to go down the General Manager/First Team Coach route which seems sensible as players contracts are much more complicated these days. The emphasis on developing young players is a strategy with risks - the Bottom6 is relatively high level for young players to be introduced successfully IMO. You can't ignore cost was a factor in choosing McLeish but it's more hopeful to think of him as the continuity candidate, i.e. someone who knows more about the club than an outside appointment, risky - sure  but is there any other kind?.  Three years might seem generous but I presume there are release clauses within the deal.  The only things left to say are good luck Craig and COYS!
