Let's just skip the pain this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 It's tradional at this juncture to say he wouldn't have been the first choice but I'll back him now he's in charge. f**k that. I'm going to straight to wanting him sacked and he can persuade me otherwise. Another problem with a regime with no knowledge of the club 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukDukGoose Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 From what I was told, we were taking in Agnew to replace Sharp. Goodwin was told he'd have to get rid of his no2 as he brings nothing to the table. To take him to his next job is astounding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelt Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 There were strong signs in the last few weeks that Goodwin was starting to turn Aberdeen around. It might take a little time for the new manager to get going, but I think in time he'll have United winning matches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I think Goodwin will be a good appointment for Utd in the medium to long term. But this is not a medium to long term appointment, it's a 12 game hail mary and I genuinely don't believe Goodwin is the sort of manager who will turn things around on a sixpence. So ultimately he fails to keep Utd up, he's gone in the Summer and a potentially pretty decent medium term appointment is out the door, rendering the entire exercise totally meaningless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely United’s board are not that out of touch with the reality as to what is still ongoing at Tannadice. Whoever is appointed would presumably not be sacked just because United are relegated? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelt Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 To clarify, I'm saying Goodwin will have United winning matches after the club is relegated to the Championship. No-one thinks he's going to keep United up, surely? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If/when they go down, Goodwin’s contract is allowed to run down and walk without a new offer or being sacked and the process starts again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assumed the board gave him a 3 year contract. Edited March 1 by Shadow Play 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabFC Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Can you be a fan and almost actively want your own club to lose and get relegated? No? Probably right. I just hate these fcukers with a passion right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mishtergrolsch Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) I honestly can't understand why we've picked a manager that was in charge of a team that downed tools for him after watching our team down tools for two managers. He'll get my support till we get ragdolled by his ex team who will be gagging to beat him. f**k off United. f**k off again then f**k off some more.
