Guest Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 There is literally zero chance of Jack Ross wanting to join us. Even if we were to stump up enough compensation. Which we won't. Oh well Yogi Shoes it is then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only realistic option is an out of work manager or someone doing well in a lower league. That said there are still better options out there than McKinnon.

Ludo*1 Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 Jack Ross is also Derry'd Oot His Nut. In all seriousness though, Ross would be insane to take it as he's managed to build his own squad at St Mirren who are doing better than United and have a good chance of being in the Premiership next season. Why would he swap that for a squad that hasn't been built by himself and are in a worse position?Maybe if he had a fresh run at it but certainly not at this point.

But I don't have an opinion on a good fit for the arabs , even more so I imagine trying to second guess Thompson would be the gateway to financial ruin.

Dunning1874 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Jim Duffy, continuing with Dundee minded candidates. It'll surely be McIntyre though. He has a track record of success at this level, whereas McKinnon had had one good season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 It is a pretty grim list of potential managers when you actually study the 'sensible' suggestions. I do think that in Scottish football quite often it is down to finding the right fit at a club and being able to organise a team in a solid fashion with decent recruitment (some fairly average managers are capable of a reasonable level of success in Scotland). It might need a completely fresh pair of eyes and some random from either down south or abroad but it will most likely be a standard Jim McIntyre-esque appointment.

Dunning1874 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I don't see what's grim about the prospect of McIntyre. Aye, it's not an exotic or unexpected suggestion, but surely a manager who is proven at the level you're at is a less risky prospect than chucking it at the first manager outwith the typical Scottish candidates to come along regardless of their level of experience, just for the sake of trying something different. I would understand that view if all the usual candidates were utterly mediocre, but McIntyre has always been a good manager in this league rather than an average one.

Tenkay Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Pedro Caixinha will be out of work soon! He could buy himself property in Broughty Ferry, and top up his tan in his speedos at the beach. United would be better looking elsewhere for a manager though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McIntyre got sacked by Ross County for a reason, right? I'd prefer somebody that has no previous connection to my club - indeed it baffles me why we so often appear to limit ourselves to previous players. In fact the only former player that should even be considered is big Dunc - just for the lols! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only think the list is grim because it lacks imagination but I fully admit we have no time to be imaginative. In an ideal world we could do what Hearts did and take a punt on someone young and a bit different but we don’t have that luxury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
