Genuinely astonished this is still a question.

Man has answered every question asked of him.

I wouldn't bet on that one mate.

He'd need to be in Buckie to score.
 

I would assume from Tony's demotion to the B Team tonight, a loud and clear message has been sent from the manager about his future.

They're a two bit highland league team and we need goals. Not a place for three at the back. The much heralded attacking wing back approach loses a bit without Strain too .

I think the team picks itself, although I wouldn't have Grimmy in the squad. If he plays even a minute for us it devalues him in the eyes of another club as it means they are stuck with him, if they sign him and it doesn't work out.

If the game is going well and we're a few goals up I'd like to see Dave Richards brought on too.

The retro shirts are just cheaply produced tat, I'd imagine everyone that wanted one that badly from United bought one, and for anyone who didn't there are more going sale next month. I don't think someone selling one on eBay for an exorbitant price is denying anyone a chance to buy one. I also don't imagine anyone will bid for it either, more fool them if they do.

The real profiteering is selling if for £45 in the first place.

You reap what you fucking sow. Every one of you bastards.

Fletcher is out, and Harkes is a risk. It will be a weakened team.

Got exactly what we deserved from the game, nothing. I would be lying if I said the sending off changed the game as it didn’t. Really disappointed with that performance especially 2nd half as I thought we would come out fighting but both Jamie and Iain failed to turn up and Kieran was poor too.

 
I agree with the first point you make, we never deserved anything today however I thought I thought we played better after the sending off.

Today highlights the ridiculous recruitment over the past few years, we are absolutely rank rotten down our right hand side and Jim has got nowt on the bench.

Three in the middle failed to dictate the match and poor defending at their goal.

Onwards to next week.

 
Can't blame recruitment. Previous regime spent a lot and spent wisely. Poor management. Simple.

Why do we care what Tony says or does. He's nothing to do with United now.

If we must discuss it here, can we see both sides of the discussion (i.e. what was said to Tony in the first place)? This is a very one-sided post.

Hamid is returning to Washington via Heathrow this evening so it looks like Birghitti will be our number one for the remaining games.

Personal terms couldn't be agreed.

This move can only happen if Asghar is removed from the Sporting Director role.

And he can't be moved 'upstairs' either.

It's time for his exit. And that and that only should satisfy the support.

 
I think we all expect Tony to leave soon. Possibly within 24 hours. I just hope giving the fans what they want pays dividends.

 
Do we?
Based on what?
Because the newspapers have picked up on random rumours from fans forums 🤦‍♂️

 
I'm not saying more just now, but I'm not making anything up.

If true, a brave and risky appointment. A manager who's best days appeared to be behind him, but who has so much to prove.

If it's to be Craig, I'm confident he will unite every single United supporter to a man.

Nonsense. It's less risky than virtually any other appointment that could be made. We know how Levein works, and we know that his approach is exactly what's required at this time.

 
That's a bullish statement to make. He was last here 13 years ago and was dismissed from his last managerial position with Hearts in freefall. Football has changed since he was last here, personnel and budgets have changed, and maybe he has changed too.

That being said - if it is to be Craig, it's the duty of every United fan to back him to the hilt, starting with a huge crowd on Saturday.

If that's directed at me, then I'm not sure why. I didn't appoint Liam, but like all Dundee United managers once he had the job I backed him to the hilt.

I notice nobody actually answered my question about what Jim McInally has done to be considered worthy of the job, aside from a post about his team working hard in 2020, and being a former player who would care about the club.

For what it's worth, Jim had a win record of 44% with the Peterhead spending most of its time between League 1 and League 2 during his time in charge.

If he was to be appointed I would, of course, give him my full backing.

That record isn't even that bad. I feel you are being overly harsh and somewhat dismissive of Jim McInally's record there.

Peterhead are a small team who were a Highland League team until about 20 years ago.

Despite struggling to attract signings like the Cntral belt teams due to their remore location, McInally won the club their first ever trophy in the SPFL by winning the League Two title in 2014.

In 2015 he took them to their first Cup Final in the SPFL as they met Rangers in the Challenge Cup Final.

They are playing roughly where they should be for a club of their size, and for awhile he had them punching above their weight. They have always been fit, organised and hungry as didplayed by their performance at Tannadice in 2020 and more recently in their Scottish Cup tie against Dundee, where although they were beaten on the night they played largely the better football and were very unlucky.

We are only looking for someone to take the club for about a dozen games and ensure we stay up. We could
