Next Manager if Tam goes …

[stokearab]

Great coach but was sacked before he relegated Cowdenbeath in his only managerial post. I'd be surprised if he was offered it tbh.

Being serious for a minute not easy at times like these, if negotiations with JR break down any ideas who our next target would be?

I don't have any info on this at all I'm afraid. Seems like its an all eggs in one basket type appointment.

Honestly not having a go at you i promise but that's what The Funsters were like for nearly an FN month.There are much more important things in my life than Jack Ross,if he comes to us then fine if he doesna then nae probs we move on.

Thanks GB

I hope this doesn’t end up with us appointing Mark McGhee …😂

Nae chance however this man could be in the frame because let's face it Tony just loves a left field appointment and wee tad of nepotism.

If we get Jack Ross it will be a decent move I would say in the circumstances of needing a fairly speedy appointment, but he's hardly Pep Klopp, and he isn't going to get a much bigger gig than Utd at the moment with current trajectory of his career unless he fancies the abyss of lower league English football,

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.
