If if McKinnon did go would you trust him to get the next manager right ?? , given his record in this department I would say no
Ram, are you suggesting that if Thompson goes then things will improve on the park.?
Mackinnons inability is not down to him (bad as he is)

At the time JMac seemed a good choice that started well until it all went t*ts up.
Mixu was a bad choice and the cheap option.
Don't think Wright was ever going to leave St J.
Who knows whether Hughes would have kept us up if he'd been prepared to pay the money.
There was a lot of support for Ray although many thought him the wrong choice.
I don't think there's any chance of Mackinnon being sacked and absolutely no chance he'll resign.
Definitely won't resign , however , if performances don't improve a decision will have to be made , don't think the club could afford another season in the championship
As in what Chick ????
Would give him the next four league games.
Two difficult away games in Falkirk and Pars to prove we have what it takes.
Any more guff like yesterday and he should go.
Ancient Garden Implement Storage Receptable Junior Male, that is exactly what I am saying.....ultimately! It is clear that the Thompson dynasty offers nothing to Dundee United Football Club other than embarrassment, heartache and destruction. There appears to be a bad culture at Tannadice affecting everything from the top to the bottom of the Club which won't be exorcised by Ray's departure. It became obvious during Jackie's tenure and no amount of changes in managers and coaching staff or players have changed this one little bit. Even the pies (doesn't matter which type) have gone downhill in that time, at least those up for sampling in the Gee Eff Upper.
Someone needs to pour a large supply of laxatives into the Tannadice drinking water to encourage a massive bowel movement to flush out those responsible for this unfortunate culture. Only under new ownership and guidance will the Phoenix rise from the ashes. May it be soon.
If Thompson saves his hide yet again by ousting his manager/head coach, it will change nothing on the park. Yes Ray is out of his depth but the more pressing need is for the Chrome Dome to be evacuated from the premises. Let any new owners deal with Ray. First things first.
I would rather my Club had disappeared under the control of Jim McLean than suffer its slow, terminal decline under the Thompson Dynasty.

There might be some truth in your assertions Ram but Thompson will only go when he thinks it's best for him.
In the meantime we can't continue with a manager who is unable to get the best out of what looks, on paper at least, the strongest squad in the league.
For me there's no evidence that Ray can turn things around.
Agree about the pehs.
Used to be a Nicolls pie and a bovril for me.
