Who did sliced bread manage again? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletchers Saucy Manbun Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Looks like Ross is going to survive the day. Good to see the club setting standards. Wonder how many it would've taken for an immediate dismissal.. 12? 20? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torfason Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 If Utd plan to keep Ross then he needs to empty Mulgrew, Clark, Watt and anyone else who is working against him" * if the rumours are true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt the relationship is fucked but if everyone has fallen out with the boss, or his methods at least, then it may simply be that the boss is wrong. On this and the various other points made about him losing the players already, I remember listening to a Tell Him He's Pele interview a few years ago with someone who'd played under Ross at St Mirren. Might have been Rory Loy but can't remember for sure. Anyway, the player was talking about how much he enjoyed working with Ross and how motivated everyone was in training. I don't know how common this is, but he revealed that training was effectively split into two squads all week where the planned starting XI for the next game would spend pretty much the whole week working with Ross directly, while everyone else in the squad was left working with other coaches and barely saw him. Obviously at all clubs you'll get some degree of wanting to work with an XI directly on preparation for your next opponent, and clearly for Ross at St Mirren this worked both tactically and in terms of having a motivated squad wanting to work their arses off to get into that XI. However doing it all week long, especially when you have a large squad with some relatively big names to keep happy, seems a pretty risky way to go about things and could easily lead to a split dressing room with players resenting a manager who they have no relationship with. There's no guarantee Ross still works this way of course, what he did in his first job isn't necessarily what he's doing in his fourth after having big squads with some egos in them at Sunderland and Hibs as well, but it would fit as an explanation of why players could feasibly turn against him so quickly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlandmagar Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Just watched brief highlights. Ooft! The United defence? Where was it? Cringeworthy stuff for that level.

Minus that big bald lump who's name escapes me. Combine that with probably the worst manager in the league in Jack Ross, and you're in trouble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly is i think the player you are thinking of who used to play in that Championship team, big hopeless diddy whose assist for Danny Mullen helped keep us up. They have also lost a decent keeper from that team. Dont agree though that JR is the worst manager in the league, still think he's decent though not as good as he thinks he is. It's certainly a surprise to see how shambolic they appear to be just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Quote Relocation Hard for Utd fans to see the positives right now, but on the plus side you barely need any changes to the thread title. Swap the -oc for an -eg and you're set for the rest of the season. So it's not all bad news. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Wilkos Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Jack Ross? More like Jack Goss from the band "Bros" - because "when will he, will he mutually part from Dundee United?" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
