Young Eddie Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 When we look back on this season, it can't be a surprise to any of us that we will finish bottom. We got promoted by the skin of our teeth and retained the bulk of a side that struggled to earn that promotion. We have an absentee chairman who does not want to be in control of the club but is unwilling to relinquish until a better option comes along. I actually admire that stance, if that is indeed his motivation. He has a track record of standing by managers, probably for far too long in the case of Mark Roberts, so we can assume that McCall will not be sacked. The only way he will leave is if he chooses to go. As it stands at the moment, unless there is somehow significant change off the park I can't see how we are ever going to progress from being an upper league one/lower championship club.

Interesting timing for him to be doing that. Liked to have asked something but don't have a Facebook page. Hope the questions aren't all tactics related from armchair managers and instead focused on issues to the running of the club. It's pretty clear McCall is staying.

UnitedLoon63 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 He's not exactly scaling the heights heading to a playoff team next season. Yeah I know, but it's obviously a step up in quality from Ayr(no disrespect). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Yeah cause Dundee Utd and Ayr are very similar in size of club There's not a big enough difference for you to come on an ayr united thread giving it 'united' are in for so and so. That just reeks of 'aye but who's your big team?'(This might be me being a bit grumpy and pedantic but given our current predicament that's surely understandable.)

No, my points about his team are equally uncontroversial, they now look like and play like a Championship club, I think their stay could be longer than Hibs'.

honestly united Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I think the galling thing is that given how bad we have been this season, the turgid tactics, having no forwards, no wingers, pedestrian pace, etc etc is that back in December, 2 games in a row against St Mirren and Dumbarton before Christmas, we through away leads in the last 5 minutes of games we were winning. If we had managed to hold on to either of those we would now be looking at a realistic chance of a win at Raith (given how bad they are as well) to finish 9th, 8th if we had won at St Mirren back and they lost at Hibs. Granted a lot has gone on since then, and things may have turned out different, but it just shows the small margins we are playing with. Saying that, it doesn't say much for the standard of rest of the teams in the Championship, that we are still not officially relegated going into the last game. Realistically we were one of the favourites to go down, I would have thought most would have looked at us and Dumbarton as the 2 part time teams as the most likely to go down, and as they had 6 seasons under there belt would probably edge it but we had a good chance of staying up. I think the next week or so will be really important in shaping hte future, if their is a decision of Full Time, what sort of squad we are likely to have (ie emphasis on hte youngsters as FT and a few experienced PT, who we keep and who gets let go, who goes elsewhere etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
