But a little concerned that there's something going on in the background at United (no idea what). We seem to have let him go very easily Suppose it depends entirely on compensation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Quote Dundee United Football Club tonight announce that Head Coach Robbie Neilson will leave the club to join Heart of Midlothian FC. Earlier today, the Club rejected an approach by Hearts to speak to Robbie; however, at his insistence, the approach was subsequently accepted with compensation agreed between the Club and Hearts. Robbie has agreed terms with Hearts and will leave the club with immediate effect. Dundee United Sporting Director Tony Asghar said: “I can confirm that I was called today by Ann Budge seeking permission to speak with Robbie Neilson to become Hearts' new Head Coach. “This was turned down, however, after lengthy discussions with Robbie he made it clear he wished to speak with them. As a result of this, the contractual termination clause has been met and Robbie will leave the Club. “As Head Coach, he led the team to a play-off final before achieving promotion with a Championship title this season and I would like to thank him for his contribution. “Gordon Forest and Lee McCulloch will continue leading our pre-season preparations ahead of the Scottish Premiership restart and we will look to appoint a new Head Coach as soon as possible.” Dundee United Chairman Mark J. Ogren said: “Although we are understandably disappointed, we at Dundee United Football Club are bigger than one person and we will continue to work towards our long-term plan with our staff and players and, of course, our loyal supporters. “Robbie played a huge role in our journey so far, however, we now look towards the future, with a new leader and renewed hope for our fans.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC92 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 17 minutes ago, Green Day said: Its not ironic, its factual. For Dundee Utd it was a short term necessity to get out the Championship, and they will sell Shankland at some point for a lot of cash. For hearts it is endemic, spending cash you dont actually generate is your USP, its why you went into admin. Uhuh, and what you fail to mention is that the FoH/benefactor money have gone almost entirely (if not entirely) towards a £20m turnover-increasing infrastructure project and a £3m fee require to facilitate a fan takeover of the club - not player wages. Secondly, the FOH money is money that the club generates. You'd just rather we didn't have it. I think that fairly succinctly sums up why you're wrong and we're well off topic here, so this is my last post on the subject.

renton Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Telling quote from Neilson: "I hope the United fans feel that together we managed to restore the club back to where it belongs." probably not what his new employers want to hear. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jock Tamson Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I liked Neilson, but more as a person than a football coach. Don't think we'll miss him and the general consensus is that not many fans are too bothered about this. We move on. Tommy Wright has to be favourite for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Can't say I would be that impressed if we went for Wright, as good as he was for the fermers. No idea who we could get though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He strung you along to get a better deal with Saints. I'd say the chances of him joining United just now are slim. He left us due to stress and wanting to spend time with his family, and its likely he'd only walk away from that for the NI job, which has been his career goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You ruined my night completely so you could have the money and I hope now you can spend it on injury prone strikers and lessons in grace and decorum. Because you have all the grace of a reversing dump truck without any tyres on. So Robbie, take your money and get off my property.

I thought he seemed a decent shout for us, but the step up from where hes at, to a full time top flight side, seems pretty huge.

Sarto Mutiny Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I liked Neilson, but I find myself oddly ambivalent about his departure. I have a feeling the new head coach will be straight out of leftfield. It may very well be some American guy we've never heard of 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
