    By the way I would love 3 WINS....
    those 3 need dropped 100% agree

    And this thread is a perfect example of what happens when your club doesn't get off the managerial merry-go-round.

    Think you might be misinterpreting the sentiment?
    The fans are behind Robbie. Criticism is still ok even if you support the manager.
    But no manager is completely safe, so really a bit of a daft question in a way?

    I've been very critical of the manager, his style of play, team selection and motivation of players but for anyone even to suggest that he isn't safe in his job after a handful of games is lunacy and highlights everything that's wrong with modern football.

    No manager's job is safe when his club is owned by foreigners who know nothing of the recent history of the club.I would hope that Robbie has had a sit down with our American owner and said,"Mark, the Monkey kept on Shambles and allowed him to sign utter shyte on 2 and 3 year deals,we have managed to offload one to the FUN but naebody else oot there will take the remaining crap aff my hands."
    "I am the man to take your club forward but i need time to remove ALL the players acquired by the Organ Grinder his Monkey and The Shambles and replace them with professional football players."

    1. There are new owners
    2. Robbie has presided over four absolute shockers I have witnesses in 50 years watching - Ayr twice Alloa and Morton away second half in both we looked like a Div 3 team.

    While if may be modern football madness he is not safe at all unless performances improve. IMO. The Lee McCulloch appointment as forward coach ( though played a lot of latter career at CH ) suggests a mate of Tony Ashgar and an in house plan b to me.

    Really want RN to be a success but last 2 months have been largely hellish. As bad as some of last 4 years...

    And why do you assume they 'know nothing of the recent history of the club'. What a patronising statement about a successful businessman who I'm sure has done due diligence before his purchase.

    How did he manage a string of victories at the start of his tenure but has fallen of a cliff since?,could it be that DUFC have a major problem inside the dressing room?.I honestly think the new owner has to get rid of the cancer in the playing squad rather than the manager.
    I said last April that the Monkey had condemned United to at least one more year in the Championship by backing The Shambles and unfortunately i think i was right.We have signed a squad of utter shyte with no heart or fight between them and Neilson or Pep would struggle to get results from them.
    In the early 70s Jim McLean with no money and crowds of 3000 had to sign players of a similar standard to the squad today however he signed players like George Fleming,Tommy Traynor,Colin McAdam,Frank Kopel and Paul Hegarty who although not the greatest football players had hearts of lions and wanted to improve and they did.
    The greatest DUFC team in history only evolved through the character of the players and the dressing room of the early 70's,the current group of players are more likely to take us into oblivion rather than follow in the foot steps of double league cup and title winners,FACT.
