Geordie_Munrover Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 There's no way DU will have possibly the same budget as Raith next season. That would put them conceivably 4th or 5th budget wise in the league? If McKinnon turns it down it wont be because of the budget being the same as Raiths. Haven't you heard... We are significantly increasing our budget for next season so you better hope you win these playoffs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) Cameron is a dud as manager. Crawford highly praised? Find me a coach in the Scottish game who isn't highly praised by fellow pros using a quick google! Really hope McKinnon stays as there is f**k all out there if he goes. Hope to f**k we don't go back to being Heart's bitch, taking any dud U20 player on loan. Edited May 11, 2016 by Enigma 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 As much as I've a huge man crush on both Stevie Crawford and Colin Cameron I'm not sure either would be s wise choice as manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I'll go for Christian Patino with Sebastian Ferrero as assistant manager. Alvaro Valdez as coach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith25 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Anyone know when we should expect an announcement on whether he's left or not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Dundee United are clearly a shambles from top to bottom. I feel a lot more optimistic than I did a couple of days ago. Kudos to the board if they can convince Ray to stay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 To get this right, Raith have(apparently) the lowest full time budget in Scotland any apparently Dundee Utd will be second bottom? Calling Bollocks on that, with the parachute payment and the crowds they'll get they'll be in the top two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos to the board if they can convince Ray to stay. If they do, they'll get my respect. Just hope Ray see's this, and not go in blindly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Fodder Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 It could be career suicide for McKinnon. He has pretty good gig here and should hold out for a more suitable opportunity. The fact he hasn't already gone gives us a bit of optimism but I hope this is resolved in the next day or two so we know where we stand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope McKinnon stays.... It was the fact that fans slagged him off for his time at East Fife. However, I really don't think you'll find any manager in the Premiership who gets as much praise, if indeed any manager gets any praise at all if you google their name. Totally agree with you on the second point because it's going to be a long summer if we lose McKinnon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Crawford highly praised? Find me a coach in the Scottish game who isn't highly praised by fellow pros using a quick google! Indeed. Let's all take a moment to remember highly rated youth coach John Potter's spell in charge of Dunfermline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling Bollocks on that, with the parachute payment and the crowds they'll get they'll be in the top two. Sorry but I don't think I'll listen to any Pars fans giving an opinion on Scottish football finance... Not sure why it would be "bollocks" anyway. They're not giving anyone new contracts, have told several players in contract to leave, made an operating loss of £800k last financial year, had to get a soft loan of £1.6m with security taken over Tannadice and Thompson has indicated he will no longer be putting any more money into the club. Having said all that, and as I've already said, I think McKinnon will still end up there but it's one hell of a challenge. Whenever heart overrules head I just look to John McGlynn who was basically sacked 8 months later after his dream appointment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever heart overrules head I just look to John McGlynn who was basically sacked 8 months later after his dream appointment. Should try come and live in the present day, allots changed since 2012. You're not sure, why Dundee Utd having the second lowest full time budget in Scotland is bollocks? Even with the servicing of the debt they're likely to have double your crowds on more expensive tickets with parachute payments. The budget they have will undoubtedly be slashed but it will dwarf whatever budget Raith have and exceed all in the division barring maybe Hibs. With most of the squad leaving he shouldn't have many players weighing the club down on massive contracts, he'll be able to bring in his own players on a budget exceeding that of his competitors, there's a good few youth players there with decent potential aswell. Mcglynn wasn't a very good manager, that's probably the main reason why he flunked so badly at Hearts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantene proV Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Dundee Utd been fined £30,000 for fielding inelegible players, another f**k up from this team and hemorrhaging more cash now. Come on Ray. Think with your head here!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
