From the worst-looking shortlist you might actually get a manager who does well. Look at the situation we find ourselves in with Watt. Top scorer in the league with Motherwell, we spend big to get him. The unrest allegedly from this player coupled with his performances this season shows throwing money and hoping for a good outcome very rarely works for a club like United. Alex Mathie we spent big, Danny Griffin the same. I would say the only player we have spent big money on and it worked out well was Petric.

How did Jim McLean come to be appointed United manager? Who knew about his coaching abilities and was brave enough to offer him the job? What was it like when he was appointed? I wisnae around so I can't comment but he wouldn't have been many people's choice given he was a coach at Dundee FC I wouldn't have thought.
