Sarto Mutiny Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Definitely deserves a shot. Done well at Raith anyway. We are looking for a manager to get us out of the Championship, which he managed to do at Raith last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnitedLoon63 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Hopkin would be stupid appointment, he’s similar to Ray. Done well in a lower budget team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to look at the past week, pumped off Dunfermline and scraped past Brechin. United should be going nowhere near him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeArab Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 That Hopkin has no real experience, we need someone who’s been there and done It. We don’t know all the applicants but If he’s applied my first choice would be Billy Reid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishtergrolsch Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Calm down lads. 50 people have applied. John Hughes won't be the best at anything in a pool of 50 people. Thompson's probably getting the free managers done and out the way first. Just because he's being interviewed doesn't mean he's getting the gig. Hopefully.

banana Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Any chance of convincing Houston to get back in the running? All these semi-experienced halfwits are giving me the fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully. 49 of these CVs will have been from FM legends and the usual chancers who apply for every managerial job going, the Ravanellis and the like. They'll be straight in the bin. If Dumb Dumb wasn't a serious contender he would not be getting an interview, he's right in the mix Just hoping his Boiler Suit/Stepping Up to The Plate type chat has done enough to fool Thompson into giving him the gig.

UnitedLoon63 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 We should go for an appointment of someone like Steve Clarke or Owen Coyle. Both managers started off well at there new clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I feel a wee bit sorry for ST, he’s got to get this one right. On a similar note the bunch of arseholes at the far end of the stand in Dumbarton yesterday were a complete embarrassment. Most of them were young lads but there were a couple of older guys who should just f**k off and die somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Older guys escorted out then stood outside stadium with banner. The older guys were mouthy losers. The anti Thomson stuff is an embarrassment, if someone wants to come up with a plan for United with real financial backing then let’s hear it.

Dont agree with all his financial decisions but he was handed a parcel of shit from his old man; the club would have gone belly up if he hadn't have managed the debt the way he did. Why anyone who is not an extremely wealthy died-in-the-wool supporter of any Scottish club would want to get involved is beyond me. Fair play to Dundee that they have apparently found such people.

Key line here. Alot of the S Thompson haters seem to miss this point. I was referring to him as a toss pot mainly due to his (alleged) personal shenanigans. Hes actually been a good chairman over the piece but the last few years have sadly undone most of the good work. He backed the wrong guys well and it's bitten him on the arse. I think he's going to be here a while. This next appointment could really do alot for his reputation amongst most fans - if he gets it right. I really really dont think fan ownership schemes are the way forward. Not for us anyway - I dont trust a single fans group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
