The link I'm seeing takes you straight to the official website but there's fuck all there about JG.
Edit to say, I think this is a fake story. The link I'm seeing when I Google Dundee United is about Jim signing a new 12 month rolling contract, but when you click the link there's absolutely nothing on the United website about it. Would the OP like to confirm his source?

Re: Jim Goodwin new contract agreed
Is a one year rolling contract what Goodwin and the fans would want?
I was expecting, as an example a 2 year contract.

Yeah, I dont really see the point tbh. It doesn't really protect us much from him being poached.

Re: Jim Goodwin new contract agreed
If it means that each side would have to give 12 months notice to terminate then that is good
I think it means also if a club were coming to poach JG they would have to pay up compo to match the 12 months
I wasn’t sure about it at first but if that is what it means then actually it could work well
Hopefully represents some long term commitment on both sides

Re: Jim Goodwin new contract agreed
Great news.
Hopefully move on to even bigger and better with us.
Unfortunate consequence - he will get poached.

I’m a fan of this. I also don’t think we should be handing out 3 year deals anyway to managers.

Re: Jim Goodwin new contract agreed
Don't mind this rolling contract stuff, he always has a year on his deal and is likely getting a decent wedge, gives us the capacity to get rid at fairly low cost compared to 3/4 year deals and gives Goodwin the ability to move on if successful at fairly low cost to another club.
Let's face it, we're far more likely to sack a manager than get compo off him. Robbie Neilsen and Levein are the only two I can think of in the past quarter century who actually moved on due to approaches from others, the rest have all been binned at likely a sizeable cost. Think it's a great deal for manager and club.
