 McAllister lost his job as Leeds manager in December 2008

Former captain Gary McAllister has been asked to join Scotland manager George Burley's coaching set-up.
Capped 57 times for his country, the 44-year-old would replace Steven Pressley in Burley's backroom team.
"George has had an initial discussion with Gary and it's now up to both of them," Scottish FA chief executive Gordon Smith told BBC Scotland.
"If both are happy then we won't stand in the way because it's George's decision who he brings in as a coach."
Pressley stood down to concentrate on his assistant's role at Falkirk and Burley wants McAllister in place before next month's friendly trip to Japan.
"Terry Butcher is busy on Inverness club duty while we are in Japan, so George will need some support for that game," added Smith.
"So I'd imagine he'll want to get someone on board within the next couple of weeks."
McAllister has management experience from brief spells in charge at Coventry and Leeds.
McAllister skippered Scotland at the 1996 European Championship, famously missing a penalty against England at Wembley.
His international career ended on a sour note, with fans booing him during the defeat by the Czech Republic at Parkhead in March 1999.
He has some experience of coaching Scotland, having helped out manager Walter Smith in 2006.
McAllister had been the early favourite to take the Scotland manager's job when Burley's predecessor Alex McLeish left but ruled himself out of the running in favour of a return to club football.
However, his time at Leeds was not a success and he lost his job in December 2008, just 11 months after his appointment.
