    This is going to be possibly the biggest gamble in the history of the Club and that is not an exaggeration. Even greater than that of the appointment of JYM. It feels like we are going all in on black on the wheel and we’d better pray it doesn’t come up red. It’s going to be either a glorious triumph or an unmitigated disaster with no other options in between.

    References to the appointment of JYM are hardly comparable to what is going on just now! Back then, you had a set up where a long serving manager had been scouting out his successor for many years before, and when the time came, there was only one man for the job!

    One massive difference in the timeline Johnston Grant and George Fox were massively invested in Dundee United Football Club and understood football and what it meant to their support.
    The Big Man is a HUN with NO interest in the Dundee United of the 80's and probably would not appoint Jim McLean if he was available today due to his wage demands.
