I dont get the feeling that anything is confirmed as yet.

I read as being a very, very badly put across point that the fans would rather have a safe appointment like a McInnes rather than an untried rookie manager at Premiership level like Courts.

Even if Courts is seen as as having more modern ideas on coaching and managing a team etc.

FFS, hardly!
 

 
Hmm I’d maybe have a look at Stevie grieves account also

I've seen that too but all that confirms is that they agree that the club should be looking internally. As a club employee - of course he is going to think that! But it shouldnt have any baring on who gets the job. If it was going to be Courts, it would have happened by now.
 

A lot of folk being rolled out in the press saying what a good guy courts is - almost word for word identical... almost like they've been asked to say certain things...

🤔🤔🤔 could the club have asked courts brother and ex team mate to speak on his behalf and try to get a message across..... surely not.

Ps if they really want to build a case for courts - do it on his record at dundee united. What have they achieved since his arrival?

The rumours about Courts do have an air of the Cathro appointment about them and the club need to realise that given where Hearts ended up after that went wrong is a cause for concern amongst United fans, especially with how long it took us to get out of that league.

Having grand ideas is all well and good but how do you convert all of that into performances on the pitches and results.  

If that is how the club wants to progression plan then i would suggest working as the assistance to the next head coach and then being in a position to step up after being closer to the fist team.

Given i didnt see the Mellon appointment coming before it did then i am hopeful there may be someone in the running we are not aware of at the moment!!

Wonder if he thought the fans were clowns when they were handing over 200k to help keep the club going.

Or walking from Tynecastle to Tannadice to help raise legal fee's.

Or buying season tickets for matches people had no chance of getting into.

Or buying merchandise when money is tight for people (losing jobs etc).

Or seeing the team bus off to Hampden despite knowing deep down we'd probably lose.

The boy hasn't even apologised, but has instead just padlocked his account.

Pathetic.
 

 
Who even is this guy? Ryan Fraser I assume going by his Twitter handle. Says he is tactical analysis for the academy. Is his name featured in the massive programme list of staff?

It is very disappointing. The club is becoming like the ANC - promotion comes with allegiance to the cause. Supporters are expected to pay for these guys and accept that they know better. Apart from their arrogance the lack of respect for supporters hurts.

It takes very little to say "sorry"

The club have just released this statement a little while ago.

Exactly

Lucky I am not an employee of the club, as I think most of what is said on here is posted by clowns too.

To be fair I am not stupid enough to risk my job over it though...

As far as appointing Courts is concerned, it is a roll of the dice that either works or doesn't same as any other manager. We have had plenty of honkers who looked good on paper over the years.

I'm not old enough to remember Big Jim being appointed, but I bet there were plenty of people who knew better than the club when he was appointed.

I really don't think it is possible the club could get someone I would actually be pleased about, so frankly a complete gamble is better than someone with an established career that is at the level we can afford

Interesting they mentioned commercial partners....

Was it simply to make it look like they aren't having a go at the fans or are they getting heat from sponsors/corporate guests 🤔

Tranmere re-appoint Mellon.

I doubt our board care and were  more concerned at ‘changing direction’ than chasing compensation that Tranmere would not have paid in all likelihood.
