    That showed to me he is out of touch with us minions and is pig headed in the belief that his system will work.
    Well the precious system does not work. It didn't work last season and it isn't working this season.
    Does anyone believe we don't have the quality of squad to gain promotion?
    I certainly do to the point we could realistically win the league with a few games to go.
    But the folly of continually playing the same way with no Plan B, standing with your arms folded and then brushing off criticism with snidey remarks smacks of sheer arrogance.
    Nobody is expecting us to just turn up and win, but that the team play with desire and try their best to adapt to circumstances in order to win the game.
    But at the moment we are just throwing games away with pathetic performances, getting bullied by very average teams because Ray knows best and won't change.
    Get well rid.
    Against teams like Dumbarton Brechin etc if I was the manager I'd be sending them out to win each half 3-0 , our players seem to have tge same ethos as some on here that any sort of win will do.

    We absolutely should be battering those teams from the off at Home

    If we need to find £ to get rid now, I pledge £50.

    God knows who we get in though, McDonald player/manager as the affordable option with presumably good contacts?
    Cathro? Danny Lennon? David Hopkin?
    But Ray needs to be booted now. As we've said the last 3 times since Houston, it cant be any worse....oh yes it has been. Surely not this time.
    Last season was willing to cut him some slack as he had a massive job galvanising the squad and the fact a bigger club in Hibs were in the league, bigger budget and a couple of years more experience.
    This season is very much his work. We have better players and two of our main challengers are struggling yet we are 4th after the first quarter.
    The longer it goes on the more it appears we are just accepting it. He looks a beaten man in my opinion and I have no faith in him guiding us to the Premier.

    But remember we weren't bang at it for those two games.
    Next time we should be battering these teams, winning comfortably or at the very least taking the game to them?
    McKinnon will be looking into his book of excuses for those games, if he still is in the job of course.

    For a glancing second I thought McKinnon had gone to Killie

    The problem with McKinnon is he never admit's how poor Dundee United are with him in the dug out even the chairman admitted during his yearly season ticket charm offensive that the standard of football was below what the average supporter was used to.I have wanted rid of our manager since he played Cammy Smith wide right and Willie Miller said on the radio "Someone need's to have a word with Ray and tell him the laddie cannie play there!."
    Its worth remembering that Miller coached or watched Smith for year's at Aberdeen but McKinnon still thought he knew better,he is a stubborn manager who accuses us who pay his wage of demanding 6-0 results every week when a decent display of attacking football would suffice.
    I honestly think under Eddie or Jim he would have been long gone,McLean would never have accepted the style of football and losing twice nearly three times to Dumbarton would have been too much for Eddie to stomach.Its only my opinion but McKinnon's survival continues because of the turmoil in the private life of the worst chairman in the history of the Hibs and United,FACT.

    Phuk knows how I am feeling about Ray at the moment, wanted him to be successful and still do but FFS so many mistakes and s.hite performances something's no right.

    Mac90 and Dodsie , maybe. Danny Lennon (you know) phuk that, ah Chunt else mentioned is giving iz the fear. Houstie excepted possibly but Nae chance he would work wie Thompson after calling him out, quite rightly btw !!!!!

    And to add to it MCleish the auld , confused, toothless FUD for the Scotland gig? Ehm away to take the gas ffs
