Must admit, I'm glad we've kept the same backroom staff.

Great news, not often we get it right recruitment wise but on this occasion imo we have done.

Right Jack, nae time to waste let's get some players signed.

Rick Dagless · 20/6/2022 6:30 pm

Welcome to Tannadice Jack Ross.

Even pronounces us as Dundee United rather than Dindee United. A great start!

lifesanocean · 20/6/2022 6:57 pm

Happy with the appointment

RogerTheAlien · 20/6/2022 7:06 pm

Excited by this, not many better we could’ve pulled in that were out of contract.

We must start with signings now.

Tek · 20/6/2022 9:00 pm

Welcome to United, JR.

Bit disappointed there is no 'free to view' club interview with the man to view tonight, given how many days we've all waited for it to be announced.

Tangy · 20/6/2022 9:25 pm

I'll take that. Experienced head. Hopefully he fits with the vision.

Interesting to see if there's any quickfire signings or if Jr will have his own bots to take in 🤔

Movement at last

Tek · 20/6/2022 9:58 pm

In view of the lack of interview with JR for us to view tonight and get to know a bit more about the man and his footballing outlook. Here are some of his previous interviews.

I have to say, i was a bit indifferent to his appointment but two minutes into this interview below and i am agreeing with a helluva lot of what he is saying and liking it.

Part 2

Part 3 - A tactical breakdown of St.Mirren's 3-0 home win vs Utd in August 2017

Hen Broon · 20/6/2022 11:16 pm

Thanks for those videos, adding them to my watchlist

Jedi u-Knighted · 20/6/2022 11:32 pm

Yeah they were a good watch, cheers Tek 👍

Shakey Isles Arab · 21/6/2022 6:35 am

Good one Tek.

Pleased with appointment.
Switched on guy, sharp and open football mind, good communicator, no one for sitting spouting cliches.

Edit - pleased to see he's not sitting in front of photo of that Cup Final.

Looks to be a good appointment, a manager with a bit of experience and a point to prove.
Success or failure all depends on the quality of signings he can make before the season starts.

Finn Seemann · 21/6/2022 9:32 am

The key to this is his relationship with Asghar. I'm pleased that it has taken a couple of weeks to sort out. That tends to suggest he has stood his ground with Tony and got a deal that he is happy with. I don't see Ross taking the gig unless he's allowed to be his own man. That may mean Tony has given a few concessions (or been made to by Ogren). Let's see what the relationship brings, but if Tony allows him to get on with it and Ross has some level of success then we may just have stumbled across a winning formula and maybe I can lay off Asghar.

That's EXACTLY as I see it Finn.
I too am doing my best to lay off Asghar but the rumours keep flying.
Anyway it's the start of yet another chapter, an exciting one too.

is some reporter going to ask him what happened with the Neilson Compo ? or is that just water under the bridge now

Nope, the truth will come out there one way or another.

I don't think United fans are interested in granular contract details. Leave that to the men in suits, as fans we should be thrilled at the new manager and the potential for some huge new signings.

You dont think its an issue that potentially we have arsed up a contract which has cost us 300-400K? ok then

Oh... I think you'll find they are. Anyway this wouldn't be a granular contract detail. It would be a major f*ck up. As a man who mostly wears a suit to work, is it ok for me to question? Condescending pr1ck.

No no, brush brush, sweep sweep, nothing to see here...

You obviously haven't read the New Club Badge thread. Folks on here get their knickers in a twist about all sorts of pointless nonsense. And rightly so, that is what bring a fan is to most of us. We care about this club more than is sensible and everything about it matters.

I might not be a part of the Ashgar witch hunt, but if someone mucked up the paperwork and we miss out on a fee we at least deserve to know that the cause has identified and processes put in place to ensure it cannot happen again (no need to through someone under the bus, as I imagine any mistake is most likely to have been made by a relatively junior member of staff)

If we get what we are due then I for one will forgive a snide remark on DUTV from big Tony about how quickly internet fans assumed our club was the one to cock up.

Shakey Isles Arab · 21/6/2022 10:28 pm

Tony Fitzpatrick has come out and said exactly what I thought in interviews -
"He'll manage Scotland one day"
If successful somebody will come in for him.
Can't have it both ways unfortunately.

Snacks94 · 21/6/2022 10:42 pm

Good interview up now on DUTV

Talks about looking to strengthen attacking options in particular, will keep looking to develop young players but ultimately it’s about winning games. Pre season starts on Thursday. Doesn’t mention specifically when he hopes to make signings but work is underway…
