Simple question- should Mackinnon go ?

[Danny_Dyer]

He should be sacked ASAP!

Our away record under him is phucking disgusting, as is the football served up on a weekly basis!

I can count on 1 hand and still have 2 fingers spare, the amount of games we have played really well in under his leadership.

The man is a phucking fraud!!

I much prefer the voices of reason in posts # 59 & # 60 to the slaughter of post # 61.

Thompson era was fine by me until ST decisions started to take effect. Now I just hope he goes asap. Even Justine has left the board hasn't she??

The problems with Ray are same as last season. Can he motivate players to win week in week out, jury is out on that one.

Saturday was terrible but we have 3 wins out of 4 this season

We need to win league but the time for changing manager was in the summer.

Would be mad to sack Ray now and who would possibly want to come to replace him when he's been sacked after 9pts from 4 matches, topping league cup group and to work under ST

Ray has built a decent squad on paper with no transfer money to play with and what seems a one in one out approach.

He deserves a bit of time and support to see if he can get the team playing and winning

Exactly. However some people would like us to believe the Thompson era has been rotten to the core since day one as it suits their narrative.

Nah. Not yet. Mangers being sacked this early in the season is one of the more ridiculous developments in football over the past 15/20 years. Granted, Saturday and last week were utterly dire but it will take time for the team to come together properly and it's FAR to early to resort to drastic measures.

This! ^^^^^^^

The team is neither fully fit nor injury free yet and it's too early in the season to change the manager again and for whom? I doubt that United would be able to attract the caliber of manager we think club needs nor the budget to bring in quality players. God forbid we step back int a Mixuesque scenario. RM will get it right!

I totally agree with this, it's almost a completely new team. The lack of patience in football fans these days is totally irrational.

When Eddie was here, while everything he did ultimately led to the cup final win v Ross County, it has to be said he made some monumental clangers through his tenure. But we were doing well and producing some good players.

But after that, the writing was put up onto the wall by the man who won us that cup! You then have to ask questions when, despite selling player after player, we are a Championship team with a squad, that doesnt appear to be able to perform with very few good players coming through!

What i saw towards the end with Jackie, i am seeing the same dis-interested body language from Ray, and i am asking why?

It's a massive part of the culture now sadly. Understandable as it's just the done thing now but I'd rather try and support him through tough times than demand him punted after the first bad result of the season

[Otm_Shank]

I posted on angry arab we'd get pumped

When you seriously struggle to beat a part time team at home how could any of you really expect a win or even a decent performance since we've played pish all season so far

Try and be smart all you want if its takes away Ray's continued failings as our manager for you guys

Wasn't trying to be smart....it was a genuine point. Also we huffed and puffed against Brechin so that's that then, no game will ever be different. It's not like you can have a bad performance followed by a good one of vice versa

There's a common denominator in all this affecting whatever manager and players that come to Tannadice. I take back in some measure some of my criticisms of the Thompson Dynasty because Eddie wore his heart on his sleeve, but let his heart rule his head. I was disgusted at the ousting of Wee Jim from Tannadice. Yes I appreciate change was very much needed and Eddie meant well, but for Wee Jim to be hounded out the way he was after all he did for United is something I will never forget. Stevie actually started okay and was very promising but he has since proved to be disaster at best. There has been deep rooted rot at Tannadice for several years now and we have to ask ourselves just who has been there throughout that period and what is their influence?

Think you're looking for negatives when there are more obvious ones there. I highly highly doubt he's disinterested or half arsed about this. That's just projecting and speculating. Not everyone hops up and down like Martin O' Neil
