Show me a young manager who hasn’t been sacked.

He worked at and was highly thought of at a progressive club playing in arguably one of the best leagues in the world. Helping and nurturing young talent to develop into decent professionals.

Nah, let’s hate him before he starts.

One of the things that’s held our club back is the attitude of our alleged supporters.

Last paragraph.

There was apparently fans having strokes cause he dared to bring on Samuels last week.

Dee fans. 🙄

Does that make him a good manager? Or does it make him a good mentor?

It was an appointment that, to many at the time, seemed to lack vision and seemed to verge almost on desperation. It certainly didn't come across as progressive or ambitious. Is it really any surprise that after years of relative failure some were concerned at the appointment of a manager who had failed in multiple managerial positions and who then made the much misquoted 'if you want a successful manager' statement?

You might not know this but us Dundee fans have been through the wringer most of our lives and have every right to be sceptical of anything that happens at the club.

Head coach, this season has proved decent one

Head Coach / Manager / person that picks the team every week - semantics

You've nailed it

Picks the team and tactics from what's put in front of him.

He dosent have and apparently dosent want 100% control over what's put in front of him.

And will always be first in the fans' firing line. That's possibly part of the thinking of those above him right enough.

His appointment is now seen as progressive and ambitious.

The guys who own the club make the decisions.

The ?much misquoted? was actually the truth. Only thing he?s been guilty of is being truthful.
