Im quite happy at this. But i do think it needs asked about the past for such a high profile position. I would be looking for endorsement from the likes of kick it out before appointing him. In many ways this kind of behaviour is prevelant and silent in our society indeed we as a nation seem to celebrate it in some forms (sectarianism). If the very fact education has changed MM, his language and opinion to what is offensive surely that is a good thing from which hopefully can be used extensively. I am very impressed by how kick it out supported him - i needed to go back and read it as wasnt interested then. This role is different and more in public eye so surely we can engage with kick it out for advice.
With so much going on in the game on race just now maybe this can be seen as a good thing?
Has anyone else notice the correlation between statements from Ashghar then Powers?
Ashghar keen to point out that they are succession planning all the time then Powers comes out and says stuff about his coaching badges having been done.
Reckon he might take over as a coach if and when Forrest and McCulloch go? He may have been signed in the first place with one eye on this...
Dillon Powers? @ 29 years old
Yup, need to give them coaching mate, was myself Ros and s71 im sure that brought it up.Quote:

He has my forgiveness whether he ends up at Tannadice or not, and if he does and he takes us back to the levels we became accustomed to, them I’d wear a t-shirt with his name and image on it with pride.
I believe him, for what it counts.
Let's not forget, the man charged with appointing our new manager is of Scottish/Pakistani heritage. It speaks volumes if Asghar is wiling to give Mackay a second chance.
I hadnt even thought of that and didnt even know he was tbh. Mackay seems to have gone full lengths to address what was really poor behaviour.Quote:

im impressed 1)he was forgiven and 2) he took so many steps to address it.
