Next Manager if Tam goes …

[stokearab]

Ok fair enough he didna fancy The Funsters despite numerous request's to manage a team who are serial adminers,own nothing and rent everything.He should consider himself very fortunate that Tony has afforded him the opportunity to rebuild his career and give the Hibees a wee poke in the eye for sacking him.

If Ross has been told he can identify positions that need filled but has to rely on Tony's decisions on which players get signed then Ross will maybe be concerned that if he can't select his own players then it'll still be him that gets fired if it goes wrong and Tony will still be in a job.

On the other hand as you suggest Ross should be asking himself if he'll get a better chance to bounce back.

That's the only sticking point with this appointment,Tony must know he cannie do a Tam on Jack Ross the latter would demand a sit down and at least a 50% input on player recruitment.
I am certain Tam must have turned up at least once perhaps more at ST Andrews and said hello mate what are you doing here? and getting an," i'm your new signing 'boss' did Tony no tell you?."

Some folk are really struggling with the fact United use a recruitment model that doesn't have it's roots firmly set in the past.

Any head coach in modern football, when your get to a certain level, will expect it to be like this.

And it's been working for us.

Agreed. Times have changed. Its not just Dundee Utd who operate like this. If Jack Ross is a dinosaur of a manager who wants sole control, then he won't get the Utd gig. He also won't get a lot of other gigs out there. Some added flexibility may have to be shown by both parties with this appointment, but we don't employ a recruitment team for nothing.
However, all this chat that Tony single handedly makes our signings is nonsense. It's the recruitment teams job to source the players the manager has identified as areas that need strengthened. Will Tony use his contacts to do the same? I'm sure he does. Between them all, they'll bring players to the table for the manager and Sporting Director to then sit down and discuss. Tony will then go out and try and sign said player. The way some folk go on, you'd think Tony Asghar spends his days scouting and signing players for the club with the manager having no input whatsoever.

That recruitment team and Tony probably cost a fair % of our wage bill and they delivered Marc FN McNulty twice,twice.

It's not the posters on here that's struggling, I would suggest it's the calibre of manager we're trying to attract that's struggling.

I doubt the recruitment team had much input in signing him for a second time and I don't know many people who weren't happy with the initial signing. Whoevers decision it was to bring him in a second time however needs their head read. I don't think Tam is wholly innocent on that one if I'm being honest.

I wonder how much of our revenue McLean spent on his recruitment team?.
