    Done a fantastic job, is a proven good manager, won us the Scottish Cup and lastly is one of our top 3/4 managers of all time, after McLean, Kerr and along with Levein

    A manager who failed at Falkirk is exactly what we need

    Worked with a team that had been set up by someone else then jumped when he was made aware of the plan!

    He didn't fail at Falkirk, it did go stale though this season after he'd done a very impressive job for a few seasons until the start of this season, he was more unlucky than anything else given well was in the league seasons they were challenging

    The lazy only a good number 2 thing just shows breathtakingly and frankly very stupid ignorance that can be blown to smithereens, actually already done that many times on here


    Houston is a Dundee United legend and in top 4 managers in our entire history

    Again, that's not really true, just partially in the first season and a half

    when Ray got sacked. Ellis got the reaction which left CL in a decent position to take us forward.

    After a good start, i was convinced CL would get us up. we were playing good stuff and looked a different team to the ones Ray put out. our attacking intent was impressive which saw early improvements in players who had not started the season well.

    then fyvie and fraser got long term injuries and also losing to St mirren interrupted our rhyme and knocked our confidence. then made loads of signings in the window who havent really improved our squad in any way. then our normal January slump happened and continues to make our life hell. Since the saints game, everything that we had done well when CL first came in has went out the window which has made us look so poor its amateur stuff.

    my question is why did CL change the way we were playing? in the early games we attacked with so much intent in a good few years. we controlled and dominated teams in these early games. so why have we changed our style to what everyone else is doing in the division? has the injuries forced CL to change his mind with the way we are playing? has he just bottled in after getting humped by falkirk? or is he another of the not got a clue managers weve hired?

    if CL can get us back to playing the way we were when he first came in we are capable of winning games and finishing a bear minimum 2nd (even without SF and FF) but if we are going to continue to play the current style then CL will be gone real soon as we wont even reach playoffs imo.

    Standard reply from you. If folk don't agree with you they're stupid or ignorant.
