Always find it strange how many of our fans get like dribbling dogs when an ex SAFC employee fails elsewhere. Would take Jack Ross back any day over Alex Neil, one has morals and loved the club, the other is an absolute c##t!

Cattermole wasnt playing well, Oviedo was very hit and miss and often injured and the rest of the team included a lot of filler.Even without Maja in the second half of the season, he had an unreal squad.
McLaughlin, Oviedo, Cattermole, a younger McGeady to name a few.
Should never have failed to go up like.
A lot of the stick he gets his unfair. He did a decent job to turn us around that first season. Yes he had a decent sways but we were absolutely lifting the previous two and he produced a decent side that were difficult to beat. The 1-1 draws became a joke but he should have been given that second season when we appointed Parkinson.
The home AZ Alkmar result for Dundee United was exceptional but they got absolutely hammered away and their players haven’t recovered since. Celtic could hammer most teams and they’re one of the best Scottish teams there has been for years.
I think he will still get other jobs, potentially in the Scottish lower leagues and I hope he succeeds.
But not quite the abject failureThen they promptly got rid of him
So 9 must be a unlucky number of goals to concede then.That’s both managers who lost 9-0 at the weekend sacked by Monday morning, not surprising like.
Auchentogle RoversReally wanted him to do well after us because of how good a bloke he is but he looks done now after that. Where do you go from Dundee United man?
Nonsense.We broke him
Like saying he was good at S Shields and Hebburn TownMental how well he did at Alloa and St Mirren when you look at how awful he’s been everywhere else since.
It’s a curse I tell you!So 9 must be a unlucky number of goals to concede then.
Interesting to think where his career would be had he taken us up.
Agree, his star striker was sold from under him and the goals dried up. Would have coasted to promotion if we hadn't sold him.
He will not be the last we broke with our “plan”
He did it all to himself, gifted a goal in the opening minutes of the play off final, then being utterly clueless as to wtf to do thenIn fairness having his only goalscorer sold out from under him then replaced with Will Grigg against his advice all on (inter)national TV would probably break most.
Think the way Barnsley came back at us in that home game after we went 3-0 up inside about 25 minutes put the frighteners on him for some reason, definitely seem to remember us being a lot more negative in our approach after that. Quite ironic when you consider that was probably the best result we had during his tenure.Nice bloke. I guess we'll never know why he dropped his favoured playing style.
as a player Hartlepool realised he was suspect
