paranoid android Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Eremenko? I thought about that - surely it cannae that simple? They were well organised, and passed the ball like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid android Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Probably not. I'm sure Killie fans can enlighten us. Some player though. He was indeed, as you say...'some player'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dregs 83 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Serious question - how did he do so well at Killie?Killie used to use the gym of the uni I went to when he was manager. I remember he came across quite well, and it looked like he was relaxed and had the respect of the players. That certainly isn't the case at United. He should go,no question. His signings on the whole have been dross, his tactics and decision making appalling and things like the Donaldson incident give the impression he's completely lost the plot. I've got zero confidence in his ability to re-build the club or get promotion. I agree McKinnon seems the best choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahonio Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Not a United fan but I will say he should because of his win %, if only Mr Thompson payed compensation for a man that actually wanted the job, JOHN HUGHES!! For me, United should try and appoint John again in the summer when Mixu gets the sack. United supporters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Pretty straight forward question. Hopefully we'll get responses from Arabs who don't post regularly as well as the usual suspects. I think he should stay - he's doing a grand job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DA Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I suspect he's been brought in to add some bite and steel, a bit of fight. From what I've seen, the only fight has been between him and the squad. He has no tactical nous, no flexibility and doesn't seem to be able to assess a player. Even a 15-year-old checking FM16 could do a better job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McLean's Ghost Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Got to punt him. If you let him linger until next season you end up with a. Ian Barraclough where you would need to bin him immediately if you started slowly b. Martin Canning where he might start well and soldier on but will never take the club to success Anyone got an example of a manager with such a bad record turning it around?

Maslow Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 No, no. The baldy snake should stick by him until Sellick come calling in the summer looking for a replacement for their 'unminded' manager, then they can claim compensation from the erase cheek and stash even more dosh in his retiral fund, sorry United's coffers from the great unwashed of Glasgow's East end.

Greenlantern Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Yes, end of season then cheerio, along with some of the deadwood. I think he genuinely took over at a bad time in United's history. I think not many could've turned it around in that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenlantern Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Nope. Big yogi definitely would have saved them. Please come calling Utd. Are you saying big Yogi wouldn't have allowed his boyhood heroes to decimate his squad to warm the bench at paradise? Leaving them honking and shipping goals?*I kinda feel partially responsible. I would've enjoyed watching them take points off Sevco. *I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estragon Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Serious question - how did he do so well at Killie? I've been wondering that myself over the last few weeks. Tbh I always thought United would just string a few wins together and get out of their situation but it never seemed to get started. At Kilmarnock, he had a decent core of players, and added very well to it. Ben Gordon, James Dayton and obviously Eremenko - whose passing managed to get Conor Sammon a gig in the EPL AND into the Irish international set up. We were still bottom in October before going on a great run though - kept thinking the same would happen at Tannadice. Ultimately who knows? Sometimes it just works for certain guys at certain clubs, ourselves and Mixu did just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye the Gnu Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I know results don't lie, but am genuinely struggling to comprehend how someone who was a revelation at Killie can become a bad manager . Granted, he took a while for results to come, but he turned us into one of the best footballing sides in the country before leaving. Was genuinely gutted when he signed at Tannadice, but in hindsight, maybe we dodged a bullet. Would still have had him back before our previous two diddies, before LC of course. Give him a chance and I 'm sure he'll come good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Utd fans should be looking further upwards rather than the manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinkle Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Nah its clear you boys are right. I mean,we should be sticking with a manager who plays guys out of position, makes horrific signings, cant set up a team properly and continues to play out of form/garbage players every week We really need to give him more of a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibby82 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 All the big clubs are getting relegated this year. Mixu's doing a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deefiant Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 As much as in enjoying Mixus tenure and would enjoy him staying on his position is completely untenable. From his game management and substitutions through to tactics, signings and overall conduct (swearing during an official interview, GIRUYs to opposition fans etc) he's clearly unfit for purpose. Best for both parties if there is a split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
