Should we cut our losses with Ross now.

I respect Mark Ogren and what he has done for our club, TA is his man, that is a condition of the takeover, which has seen us progress four years in a row, I wish people would stop trying to pin all issues on Ashgar, as they are indirectly going against Ogren, who deserves our backing (not you Stoke btw, just a general thought)

The players and the manager have to take responsibility for sure but Asghar has created an elitist culture by spending Ogrens money.

The risk with that (apart from the financial one) is that some players start to think they're better than they are.

There's stuff I could point out but maybe the best example is that trip to Spain.
I would have taken us to a training centre in England and arranged full matches against decent opponents trying 4 at the back without a CDM and a 5. Then tried different attacking options. I would have learned a lot more by assessing players in those situations than running around in 80° Spanish heat on a jolly arranged by TA long before JR turned up.

I’ve never understood why a club Utds resources waste money on a trip abroad pre season when conditions are good in Scotland, if you are you going to do that better in winter I think, but loads of clubs do it, McLean used to take Utd to Holland, usually played a fair few games tbf. Let’s be honest though, you could have spotted Utd needed a def mid just by watching games last season, asking people close to the club, or prob 45 mins of us in action. Who knows what conversations have taken place or if we have attempted to bring someone in. Maybe Ross thought sibbald was the answer until after Alkmaar away.
