    be fair, Edwards has been total pish. He was a tower before he got the captains gig.

    JG saying that he has been provided funds to strengthen squad. It’s a bit late in the day with only 10 games to go but none the less promising that MO prepared to do this.

    Who is available? Who will enhance the squad? At what price?

    You are correct, it is far too late in the day.

    Unless it's next season they are talking about.

    Funds for this season, but a deal for anyone is unlikely.

    Saying that, St. Mirren have just picked someone up, so who knows what free agents are out there.

    If we find a player that will improve this squad longterm that's fine, but the responsibility for turning things around lies squarely on the shoulders of the players who have got us where we are.
    Tbh a new player coming in at this point could be unhelpful.

    Free Agents at this time of the season are free for a reason. Might be a wake up call on MO's behalf, after recent developments, no sure. But.... without boring abody ti daith.... Keeper, defensive mid, extra forward, required ASAP.... (MONTHS ago)

    Big Tone really did pull off a smoke and mirrors job with the squad didn’t he? At the beginning of 2020/21 we started with Shankland, Clark, Appere and added to it soon after with McNulty. Then the following season he flew ‘replacing’ Shankland with McNulty completely under the radar, sold Appere, sold Clark and then the only other forward (who ‘replaced’ Appere) we did bring in was sent on loan. Now we are left with Fletcher, and, er, that’s it really.

    If I was a conspiracy theorist (which I might be) I would "guess" that Tony was blaggin' a job he had no experience of doing. He found someone to finance his soundbite ideas, and just took the dosh, until (too late for us) he got fund oot tae.

    Might be wrong, but there has been a massive bad smell up at Tannadice for a lang lang time now, and we are now suffering the backlash.

    Still feel a wee bit sorry for MO, he seems a wee bit out of touch with what is going on, and probably trusted folk he that were in it for themselves.

    I’m absolutely with you on MO. In my mind the only thing he is guilty of is naïveté. He has done everything he said he would in terms of ploughing in money, and, whisper it, actually making a profit last season. However although in my mind he has entered with good intentions, he has been totally taken in by a borderline fraud who has used his money to play real life Football Manager, where in Big Tone’s fantasy mind he was taking United to Champions League glory. Whilst as a nice sideline, profiting his and his cronies own business, Revolution Sports.
