I'm not sure about him if i'm honest.

I worry the Ogren's (who know little about football) have given him carte blanche to do as he pleases around the club.

At the moment all I hear is a lot of spin and fancy terms for employees branded about. We are now calling the St. Andrews training pitches the 'High Performance Centre'. It's just a name change, seriously, what's the difference?

I can see where you are coming from (i still have reservations as this is all VERY different) but i'm hoping that united are aiming to be and turning ourselves into, a modern sports organisation. Compared to English football, rugby etc, Scottish football is still in the dark ages.

My hope is that we will have a modern organisation which is in touch with the fans and one which is picking up some great players to let us enjoy football again. I'd say, we probably have a top 6 premiership setup which you would hope would encourage the likes of shankland to choose us (over the likes of Hamilton/motherwell etc)

I like many others had, and still do to an extent, reservations around what a self-proclaimed Rangers supporting football agent could want with United.

I think TA also knew that fans would be slightly wary of his involvement and how much authority he would have with the owners not being around regularly.

However, to his credit he has identified this and has been pretty active in keeping the support updated (Arabzone interviews or the Q&A he did on here which was great) and this sort of correspondence is a breathe of fresh air in comparison years gone by.

Think Tony Asghar's association with Rangers is more down to his involvement as a youth player: as an agent he couldn't really have club allegiances I'd guess, and now he's at Tannadice I'm sure he's fully focused on United.

I'm more concerned about that lilac jersey he's wearing in the interview, especially in the late June seaside temperatures.

Cut them some slack. he's only been there nearly everyday for 6 months, easy mistake to make to get one of your bosses name wrong 

Is there no end to this incompetence, you really couldn't make some of this shit up, this lot have been "beyond parody" for some while, and yet...............

If this Shankland deal actually happens Asghar is surely showing his worth!?
