STV now reporting he's resigned.

Does this mean we won't have to pay compo I wonder?

no, it's just a formality, doing things in the right order

Dragoodane Ristic · 11/5/2016 6:24 pm

A solid appointment IMO.

Have a feeling he will do well. Fancied Laszlo over RM when I read of his interest in the job though.
Important that we get right behind the new manager from day one.

Arab_plumber · 11/5/2016 8:33 pm

Really really hope this appointment works out well, got to say I'm completely sceptical but will support him to the max.

Arabnophobia · 11/5/2016 8:47 pm

We are mair than due an ex player being a success Plumber.

HeggyHandshake · 11/5/2016 8:54 pm

That's it done now, Grant J as his assistant.

TheShed · 11/5/2016 9:11 pm

Quite confident this will work out well, but it's going to take time, I'm not expecting a flying start, just steady progress.

Mass Debates · 11/5/2016 9:32 pm

Good luck Raymondo have everything crossed this will work out well!!

SuperMario · 11/5/2016 9:44 pm

Signs on dotted line tomorrow, welcome Ray! Superb appointment, will take us back to the top

Always struck me as 2 quiet boys as players.

Quite an unlikely management duo for me.

But maybe i'm misjudging the 'book by it's cover' so to speak.

I meant more the fact that they never struck me as the types who would go on to lead dressing rooms.

I always felt that about McNamara too.

Hopefully Ray has a bit more about him (ok A LOT more about him) in that respect though.

SuperMario · 11/5/2016 11:16 pm

Darren Taylor is his number 2, grant Johnson is part time as he was at raith

Tangy · 11/5/2016 11:32 pm

Gordon young away then?

Maybe he'll be kept to work with the Developement team.

Bow doesn't strike me as a Manager,more of a coach.

Welcome to Utd Ray Darren and Grant..

Wasnt the manager i and many wanted but thats who we have so we will back them.

One thing ill add.. The clubs a total fucking mess just now and its going to take a long time to heal. I just hope they can do a job for us. They have a massive job to rebuild our squad which is not going to be done overnight.

Good luck to Ray! So looks like Johnson will be his assistant? He'll be giving up what I would imagine is a much higher paid job.

Are you sure Grant Johnston isn't coming in on a part time basis?

I wonder if Ray will be 'manager' or 'head coach'?
