TTT I think you are a smart guy but your suggestion that Laslo gets 2 years to gain us promotion just makes zero sense. It also completely ignores the fact that Laslo inherited a squad last year that was top of the league and he barely made the play offs (without Sturrocks 2 signings we would have missed out tbh).

Most managers in this league would be happy with our squad. We have seen now what a competent manager can do with a poor squad (Ayr and QoS this year, Livi and St Mirren last year). Laslo manages to create a whole that is less than sum of the parts. That is bad management.

If you honesltly believe that it will take 2 years from now for us to achieve promotion then implies that you think the Board will give him another year next year after he fails this year. There is absolutely zero chance of the supporters buying season tickets to support aa Laslo led team this year for his 3rd attempt of gaining promotion. Accordinly what will happen if your prediction about us not going up this year is true is that it will be another new manager appointed at the end of the saeaon and the inevitable rebuild of squad (with many players paid off as they are on 2 year deal).

So to take your prediction to its conclusion (the one where you say you never thought we could go up this year) there is only once sensible decision and that is to replace the manager now and at least have a chance of going up this year.

For whats its worth I would not hire any of the out of work managers that have been mentioned on here. I would 'tap up' Tommy Wright' and offering him carte blanche behind the scenes at united to do whatever it takes to get us promote. Sure, it will cost some cash in compo but the losses will be huge this year if we do not go up anyway. I cannot stand Tommy Wright but he would not put up with the displays we are getting from our players
