JR gone. Next manager

[Jim_Jam]

Honestly I can see both points of view but, ultimately, I think you are right that the results were so bad something needed to be done.

I believe JR only has himself to blame thinking he could come to a relatively successful formula and change everything at once. Crazy thinking, IMHO.

We are yet to know the whole story behind the scenes. What concerned me most was that JR thought he could do the job while living with his family in England.

Yeah, that certainly seems a concession too far in such a position at the club. Unlike others, I don't have a problem with players living within commutable distance from St Andrews. This is something I did for many years, working in the central belt but always living in/around Dundee.

Worst shortlist ever none of them should be a Utd manager

From the worst-looking shortlist you might actually get a manager who does well. Look at the situation we find ourselves in with Watt. Top scorer in the league with Motherwell, we spend big to get him. The unrest allegedly from this player coupled with his performances this season shows throwing money and hoping for a good outcome very rarely works for a club like United. Alex Mathie we spent big, Danny Griffin the same. I would say the only player we have spent big money on and it worked out well was Petric.

How did Jim McLean come to be appointed United manager? Who knew about his coaching abilities and was brave enough to offer him the job? What was it like when he was appointed? I wisnae around so I can't comment but he wouldn't have been many people's choice given he was a coach at Dundee FC I wouldn't have thought.

Agree with all of that

"I would say the only player we have spent big money on and it worked out well was Petric."

Bannon was the record fee for a Scottish club, and that worked out pretty well

Doesn't matter who it is, if they get results no one will give a ****. Except when 'the football is boring'.
