Are Fletcher and Levein on speaking terms?

Yeah they kissed and made up. He got recalled by Levein a year later.

Jim McInally on Sportsound today was speaking about the Asghar era at Tannadice and was saying that Micky Mellon was not happy being told that certain players HAD to be included in the squad because we wanted to showcase then sell them.If that was happening to Micky its FN certain that Tam and Foxy were told to do the same.

Always will remember the "premiership ready" comment about Hoti that i think came from Melon. Dont think many of the Head Coaches had much choice in who they were provided with right from signings through to the team selection with few exceptions.

Anyone else having to do a double take that this guy has actually left our club?
It's quite incredible how fast things happened. Ogren says, he's my guy, says nothing is changing, next minute Fox and Asghar gone. See ya.

One thing I feel good about is that even if we go down we're going to be in a better place recruitment wise. Then I'm thinking, are we?
Asghar may be gone but the recruitment guys haven't, so it leaves me wondering who is going to set the recruitment policy going forward. Hopefully no more "Internationals" and more really good hungry young players that fit well into a team.

Been suspicious of our recruitment for a number of years and all i have seen this season has not helped answer any questions i have. I do wonder if there is anyone who can categorically say that player Sibbald was a good signing by Ross, cause i can confidently say 3 in Birighitti, Eriksson and Niskanen are poor recruitment targets.

Im sure someone will come back with the "final say" excuse, but the evidence is there this season that players were brought in and sold while coaches were not in place.

Now that Asghar is oot, i am content to allow the process to continue to the point of ownership changes and allow them to modify the background staffing. The only problems i foresee is if Goodwin doesnt stay on with championship football ahead and a similar manager cannot be recruited.

I have to say though that i dont have a proper understanding of the difference between a Head Coach and Manager, suffice to say that i think a manager sets the criteria, where a Coach is given some of his targets, but the majority come from the likes of Asghar which has failed spectacularly for us.
