We are doing the decent thing and holding off to allow the candidates to apply for any other vacancies that come up. If they fall through they know we will be waiting as a safety net. 

Sounds about right

There was a Courier journo saying he thought Thomson would get it. 

Ross is never going to go there and work under Strachan but Thomson, who played for him, might well do. 

You could be right about the courier journo, but I was just saying that I saw the 2 names linked was Ross and Strachans son and not seen the KT links

“Liam Fox was the standout candidate and as former player he knows the club and the fans, coaching experience at Dundee United, we felt he could take us forward” that will be part of the statement

Gary Locke was the outstanding candidate, he gave a great interview and told us some great stories about the hertz and promised he has been practicing on football manager and will do better this time

‘As a forward looking and all-inclusive club we are delighted to announce a revolutionary new approach to club management. Welcome Yogi Hughes, the first ever manager to lead two clubs at the same time’

Another Day and still no incline of who it’s going to be, and as the days go on the more I fear it’s going to be some absolute dud that’s going to take us backwards

It's an uphill struggle...

Very disappointing we don’t appear to be close to an appointment or got season ticket details out , going as bad as the flyers for releasing information

Applications only closed on Friday so you will need to be patient. The Board will need at least a few days to shortlist, interview and assess the applicants. There could be some decent candidates that were not on their radar. Act in haste and repent at leisure - as the Jags did after appointing Gary Caldwell!

But they gave applicants nearly 2 weeks to apply, most will have applied in the first week so I think they should be a bit down the road to this appointment tbh and a couple of teams looking for managers so we need to get the finger oot imo

Also I’ve seen that Dundee are interested in Thomson (could be the usual paper talk pish) that could be the main target we lose out on

You don't know what's happening.. Much will depend on whether the shortlisted candidates are free agents or in post.

The top target's club may not wish to release him from his contract or is demanding too much compensation.

Recruitment is a risky business and even big clubs have trouble getting who they want. Eddie Howe strung Celtic along for months.

This is true mate but imo we let Mcglynn leave no matter what they say officially and kinda hoped we had a plan to replace him
