Neilson

Tom English is an excellent journalist - again read that and he is spot on

He is absolutely spot on that with that article but to be frank he has been terrible over the last few months on the end of season dispute. He has totally taken the side of the Rangers/ Gardiner/ Budge axis narrative and his coverage on it has been extremely blinkered.

Good article from Tom English, he's obviously been reading UnitedMad.

What surprises me about this is none of us saw it coming. He's a Jambo, Stendal on the way out, yet I never saw it coming. This is likely due to all his comments about building something with us, and mentioning how great the fans are at every opportunity.

No doubt a good man manager as the players seemed to like playing for him, but never a coach. As many have said, we can do better. The problem is the risk of getting the choice wrong and not doing better.

I actually think the timing is ok. It's not ideal but the club framework for next season is in place and as long as the appointment isn't strung out there will be time to sign players.

As to who would be my choice. From the names mentioned so far I'm a bit unexcited.
I would say though no 3 salaries needed.
Coach and assistant. It's all you need if they're any good.

It was always a calling on the cards he would go back there but the timing surprises me. If the Championship is his ambition then good luck to him. OK he got us promotion but now he has fecked everyone over he simply becomes a smell in the wind now. No wishes of luck or fortune from me (or ill will).

Would love to see him miss promotion next year and see how he handles the flack.

Of course maybe he's also porking Budgie.

I always thought his mentioning of the fans was a bit too obvious. Nice that he did , but it is a classic futba soundbite that he used at any given opportunity.

I think Hearts is as big as it gets for him and they will sack him before his contract is up.There is no bitterness in my post that is truthfully what i think will happen.

Maybe he is hoping planes will be grounded for 3 years.

The stark reality between the economics of Edinburgh and Dundee is at worst he would have got a paper plane in the napper at Tannadice.

does anyone maybe think Neilson has just found his level? tried his luck down south didnt work for him. Although he got a wee reaction when he came in after csaba (which anyone would have got). Neilson got very lucky with the timing of Ogren coming in and splashing the cash! id like to see if RN is capable of doing a job at a club whos budget isn't big. thats how you can test his ability as a manager

I.e could he do what tommy wrights done at St johnstone?!?
