JR gone. Next manager

[geofoxposse]

JR was shyte and from the beginning showed that.

United have to appoint a caretaker for a set period or a permanent replacement fast

Its a simple choice of 2 options. Thats what the internal management is there for, players can fail and take pelters, management should not be exempt because they wear ties.

Has anyody consisered that the players may have been rightly concerned about JR's way of doing things?

The players might have been concerned, but that’s no excuse for not being able to run, pass the ball and stop others from playing. If the formation isn’t working or the plan, they have to brave enough to adapt, communicate with the touch line that the plan isn’t working. I believe the players did down tools to a degree, if the fans downed tools we would be gone as a club!

As for Tony Watt, whilst he has ability he seems to have an attitude problem and I am pretty sure these traits have followed him throughout. He was another of Chick Youngs next big things that turned out to be a one season wonder. At 28 he ought to be still giving of his best, as there is at least one more decent contract in him, but not with us, I don’t think.

A bit harsh on Watt IMHO, he’s played well in the positions he’s been asked to take over the piece

Performing well he starts every week

Up to the next manager to get the best out of the squad

Possibly you are right s-b, but he is a senior pro and actually is a genuine talent; and others do have to take responsibility not just him. But the rumours, true or not seem to point towards him and a couple of others who seem to have influence. No one whoever it is; is bigger than the team or club. Whoever they are, signed a contract and took the money; give your all, even when the proverbial is hitting the fan and things are not quite you’d want them to be. You can still play football, that’s why you are there!

[shedka]

true or not?

Surely that's important

He was by all accounts good at Livi and poor at Motherwell, we know he is a good player, he was very good from Jan to May, not sure why fans are making him and Mulgrew scapegoats based on nothing more than rumours

I'm just glad we got rid of a dud manager, and hoping Fox will prove to be a good temporary solution, early days yet but not the worst return from two away games in a few days

Heard rumours that Alan Irvine is amongst the potential candidates. Definitely a highly experienced and well respected coach down south . Most recently David Moyes number 2 at West Ham last season .

The Log?

Irvine was a good player and is a well respected coach.
Think the Log was John Bourke?
