Just waiting on AU/Tony coming on and claiming this is the best appointment possible after a worldwide search.

Interestingly UnitedinPursuit is an anagram that describes Tony very well...U uninspired tit.

That's cheered me up no end Finn. FAF.

I actually think it's quite a brave and insightful appointment. Asghar knows it's not a popular choice with the fans or a so called "big name" but he's obviously seen the work that Liam has done at close quarters, and he believes that he is the best man for Dundee United.

Now let's all get behind our new man.

The usual drama and overreaction to the Impending appointments.
Fox has just as much chance as being a success at Tannadice as anyone else in our price range.

That's the issue really if we don't stop pishing the cash against the wall then we'll be in the market for players in return for a set of tracksuits like our neighbours.  It is the mismanagement that has us in this position - nothing else.  MO is in up to the tune of £10M by all accounts - what have we got in return for that - precious little.

 
When MO took over we had just stumbled into the play offs in the 2nd tier. We are now back in top league and just qualified for Europe for the first time in 10years.
Without Ogren we had as much chance of falling down to 3rd tier as we did of promotion back to the top tier.
You may call that precious little, I dont

The emboldened above is unhelpful hyperbole.  I too am grateful for MO's intervention and continued support of the club (although I fear he may see at some point that the pipe dream of a return on his 'investment' is just that - a pipe dream, and what then?).  Give any team in Scotland a £10M injection and they'll be playing in the top league in a short space of time.  My gripe is not with Ogren per se.  It is with his totally naive choice of management team that has despite burning plenty of MO's hard-earned (as well as a lot of punters) stumbled from one feck up to another.  If people cannot see that this is undermining our club then I suggest surgery for the removal of the tangerine tinted spectacles.  If things don't change we are only heading in one direction.  Even the world famous super computer has us being relegated.  With our budget that should simply be impossible, but not with this clown at the rudder.

It is not your opinions I have a gripe with per se, it is that fact that you attack people who disagree with you in such a repetitive and uninspired fashion

It is far from hyperbole to suggest we could have been heading for the 3rd tier. What happened to Dunfermilne & Falkirk could easily have happened to UTD. We had some abysmal players bought by shambles, crowds were down and becoming toxic.
If you think  there's no chance of us going to the 3rd before MOs injection of capital I suggest you should maybe remove your tangerine tinted spectacles

 
I don’t think we were in danger of dropping to the 3rd tier. Our glorious neighbours have proven that even as shit as they have been a club of our size will not. Falkirk and Dunfermline are much smaller clubs. We are however more likely to disappear completely if we go bust.

WTF are you on about?  “attack people”. You’re having a laugh?  Is this place not about debate. Don’t think I have been personal at all!  I’ve got no issue with people having different views. Life would be feckin dull if they didn’t!  Sorry for offending your sensibilities, I’m sure, I’ll try to think of better ways to say Asghar out. Tool.

 
Can't make out if that's a serious reply or an attempt at self-parody

Yawn

 
Go to bed if you’re tired…

Goes without saying that any manager gets 100% backing from the fans. It’s what we do.

But, if this fails, and he leaves at the end of the season, like many before him, then he can’t be the only one to depart.

So the 'stringent' process comes to an end and the result is not surprisingly the cheap guy already at Tannadice.  Possibly surprising (if it hadn't been leaked by our leaky management team over a week ago) is the return of prolific club servant Stevie Crawford.

Oh well, as Mock says they'll get my 'support', especially if they spot the glaring holes in the team.  I say support, but currently not intending to go back to Tannadice until the Sporting Dictator departs.

 
Same here. Won’t be back until he is gone.

Massive wet pump of an appointment however it was like the morning after a dodgy curry, you knew this was coming.

Good luck to Tony, Stevie and Liam hopefully they can turn this round.

Let get behind the guys.

The new dream team



Fauntleroy Fox and Crawford Crow

Uch canny do images - just google the names if you can be bothered.  Fox will need to lose the blue bow tie though...
