    Of course there are decisions that werent his. What about the waste of a signing Sibald? Im sure that was a Ross signing and he could have signed a fit defensive midfielder with that cash.

    I really cannot get anywhere near excited by Fox being appointed, then i see Crawford as no2!

    Looks like im missing the next 2 games which will help me decide if Fox gets my backing, or i vote with my feet! Never been this disillusioned with United!

    Has the Biro run out? Richard Strebinger 330 games, Alexandros Paschalakis 225 games, Orjan Nyland 257 games, Iago Herrerin 352 games. If we are left with Eriksson I fear for our league placing. Surely one of the four keepers above can catch a cross? We need to get this goalie situation sorted before the transfer window as waiting for a Kawashima signing was pointless. Surely we couldn't repeat the same mistakes as before? Given who the goalie coach is I have my doubts.

    We definitely need a new keeper thats for sure.

    While they have an input of course I don't think your can pin any recruitment problems on the head coach at Tannadice at the moment, whoever it is.

    Just my cynical view of the hierarchy at Tanny
    Asghar - recruitment, team selection, tactics.
    Fox - assists in above if asked.
    Crawford - puts out cones for training.
    Mulgrew - somewhere in between Asghar and Fox.

    Don't believe that for a second.

    Financially , it was probably always gonna be the outcome. 2 year deal tho, and the cost of SC ? might be contradicting myself already :/

    I honestly don't think there was ever gonna be a different one.

    Not the perfect outcome, but, I'm far from devastated. Foxy has managed to get the team trying again, always a good start. There are deeper questions to be asked why that happened I know, but....... I like to give everyone the same chance, and will do again.

    I would like to know though if there were other higher profile managers that threw their hat in to the ring and never got an 'interview' ??? ...Unless someone comes out and mentions it, we will probably, never hear about it.

    Unfortunately... it's a relegation fight we are in, instead of a top 6 goal , or even another Euro humpin'

    UTD for me.....
