Mccann looks to Fergie for inspiration
HAMILTON
V DUNDEE Neil Mccann is taking hope from Sir Alex Ferguson’s rescue act at Manchester United as he battles to save his own job at Dundee.
The 44-year-old has lost seven games on the bounce and faces the looming threat of the sack if he cannot halt that run at Hamilton today.
But Mccann believes one win could turn his fortunes around, just as it did for Ferguson in January 1990 when a Mark Robins goal for United against Nottingham Forest is widely believed to have spared him the axe and he went on to win 38 trophies, including 13 League and two Champions League titles.
Said Mccann: “You are looking all the time to try to arrest your season. It’s been a poor one so far with the results. But there are numerous examples [of teams turning their seasons around] out there. “The great Sir Alex Ferguson was close to losing his job then went on to become if not the best, then one of the very best managers our country has produced.
“We need to do what’s respective to us – to get points that is going to reinforce my belief in the side. It can be as simple as that; one result is all it takes.”
