Aladdin Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Quite a lot of noise about mckinlay being in with a shout. Would be a big risk but, unless Duncan Ferguson came in, would be hard pushed to find anyone I'd be more desperate to have succeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no reason to disbelieve him as he has connections within Tannadice. Pretty deflating if this is the case. Imo. If he had taken the gig last time around we might not be in the mess we are now. Ellis seems to be a decent coach and tactician who interacts well with the players; that’s exactly what we need at present. I can understand concerns over lack of experience but we’ve had experienced managers too with poor results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand concerns over lack of experience but we’ve had experienced managers too with poor results. I said similar somewhere else. We've tried the experienced guys with, at the time, reasonable reputations in Mixu and Laszlo (lol) and went for the opposite, young up and coming managers like McKinnon and Mcnafortune. All of which did badly with the squads available to them. All we really need is someone that keeps it simple like organise players and use substitutions and tactics to help win games. Common sense over experience for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock Tamson Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 For me, this is no time for experimenting. I get there is no guarantee with anyone but this is last chance saloon for Utd. I'm not totally against the idea of Ellis, I would just feel a tad underwhelmed. Would much prefer Neilson who has romped this league before. He also has a bit of experience behind him. I just get the feeling that the decision will be a financial one. Stay in this league for another season, and risk being down there forever. The championship is notoriously difficult to get out. For me, Utd should be throwing EVERYTHING at it to ensure they escape it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now is not the time for penny pinching. Craig Levein and Peter Houston cost the club nothing and they did OK. It dosent have to be a "throw money at it" solution. We need to look at someone can get the team on the park playing better. I can see Ellis doing a good job but wether he wants it long term is another thing. Wether last time was "new manager bounce" for him or not remains to be seen, but the fact he kept it simple seemed to work. I say again, just because a manager is the cheap option dosent mean he will be awful. It just means he isnt under contract. Clarke was a cheap option for Killie. McInnes was a cheap option for Aberdeen. Wright was a cheap option for St Johnstone. It needs to be something that the board get right. If it takes two or three weeks then fine. If the correct decision is made we could theoretically still romp the league by 15 / 20 points - theres only been 7 games played remember. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Frans could fall into this group. The rest? Meh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
