Who's your choice?

Alts, go study my previous posts. Whilst I appreciate Ray had United playing poorly and had to go, I NEVER condemned him, nor shouted for his removal. Therefore any replacement was never on my mind. I fear for the survival of the Club more than I desire promotion this season because I see no future for our beloved Club whilst it sits in the cupped hands of the Thompson regime. Necessary as it is, replacing Ray is a moot point as far as I am concerned, because with the Club still under ST's Chairmanship, imo it matters not a whit who comes in, as it will be the same old story.

We are now left in situation 'Mixu MK II' where any incoming manager is going to have to work with the previous manager's team, with little prospect of adding or replacing players until at least January, by which time we could be cut way adrift? A new manager is on a hiding to nothing. We can all think what we like about Mixu, but he had both hands tied behind his back, resulting in his trouser legs getting wet.

Our current set of players have shown they lack the height and physicality (overall) to go with their footballing skill, showing virtually game after game they cannot compete as a Title winning team against any other team in this league. No manager is going to transform the current shower into title winners, unless there is huge investment in 4-5 new players all well above the standard of what we have.

My focus for the survival and revival of United sits firmly on the belief that Thompson must go first. Yes we have to now replace Ray, but I will be the first to state that I do not believe it will work out the way we want it to.

Since you have called me out (against my priorities), I have to state that I have not given a serious thought towards desired replacement. However, I do believe that Dick Campbell would do as good a job with the current crop of players as anyone. In which case we can look forward to plenty of Angus derbies before long!

Dick Campbell eh? Bold choice RAM, heard him at a sportsmens dinner once and he certainly talked a good game and had us smiling.

A good shout until the end of the season. He would have the team smoking. Forget the other names who want to prove they are something. Dick has nothing to prove. Help him on his way towards having managed all of the Angus Clubs. He doesn't suffer fools gladly, which would go against his appointment!

See that's the type of auld heid that could have been brought in to help McKinnon, a football man who knows his stuff, one who could have been a mentor while he learned about managing the biggest club in the city. And it would have been a darn sight cheaper than having to replace the entire management team yet again.

Tele saying Sean Dillon is an option. Surely not...!

Surely just the Dee C Thomson taking the piss with that one?

It's a no from me, good club servant but no more returns, doesn't work.

Agreed - feels like a bit of a disrespectful suggestion!

Dick Campbell hates United, I sat behind him during one time in hospitality, he did nothing but bad mouth United from top to bottom, making comments about getting it right up them etc.
