    So TA recommended Tam Courts to Ogren, that we can be pretty sure of.

    If Mark Ogren and Scott Ogren voted (with TA) to appoint Courts that would potentially carry 3 against the 2 votes of Jimmy Fyffe and David Dorward, assuming of course they were against it. Maybe they weren't?

    If Derek Bond and Laura McCallum voted in favour to keep their jobs the vote would have been 5-2.

    So do we now have a Sporting Director who is de facto running the club in totality because he has the 100% support of the owners? A guy who sold the vision to the owners and got a great job out of it. If that's the case it's putting a hell of a lot of faith in a guy who's never been a Sporting Director before.

    And just how hands on is Scott Ogren?

    And does it leave us with 2 Directors unhappy with the direction we've taken?

    Too many questions maybe. I'm happy to support the appointment, what else can you do, but the way things are being done makes you wonder. If it goes tits up Tony walks away and we're left standing in the carnage.

    No room for error here.
    There were directors against the head coach appointment and his NO2 mate there were head coaches against contracts and the promotion of coaches but its all immaterial now.
    As Affshore says we are phucked, it could turn out that both me and him are totally wrong but we maybe know more about The Big Man and the culture at Tannadice which for obvious reason's cannot be posted on here.
    What i will say is this,if The Big Man reads this board and wants a meeting with me and Affshore he is going in the office first.
