adamntg Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Cheers John. No disciplinary action but not because they didn't do it. I wouldn't be near Tannadice while that was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jock strap Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Did you read the verdict? Aye, I did, but I would like to think that some form of ban would have been implemented, irrespective of they were sent privately or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jock strap Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Steve Evans anyone? Aye. Decent manager who will raise the spirit and confidence of the players. Has anyone got the clip of him at Wembley where his trousers bear fall down as he celebrates ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_B81 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Pressley rules himself out the running as still seeking success in England. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34396177 Whilst going down the former player route is an option given the old cliché "they know the club", it's not always advantageous to employ "one of their own" and bringing in someone from outside is more likely to bring in fresh ideas to revamp the club. Not referring only to United, every club seems to get linked with at least one former player when looking for a new manager. Eric Black's been linked with the Aberdeen job for the past 15 years!

Ormond Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Evening Telegraph ramping up the Tommy Wright to United stuff today. If Wright leaves us to go there then I don't want to hear Arabs bleating about Celtic poaching their talent again. http://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/2015/10/05/tommy-wright-is-dundee-uniteds-no-1-target-but-may-have-to-resign-at-saints/ Edited October 5, 2015 by Ormond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus_Young Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 http://www.perthstjohnstonefc.co.uk/newsitemsdetail.php?param=3818 Personally don't see where this would be a step up or a progression for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamntg Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Personally don't see where this would be a step up or a progression for him. A slightly bigger club. Is it worse the hassle for him? Being objective, I don't know if I'd be champing at the bit to make the move at this moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormond Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Personally don't see where this would be a step up or a progression for him.United are a bigger club obviously but surely if Wright stays and does well this year he'd find a bigger move than going 22 miles down the road. Wright has come out and said he is happy at Saints but we all know money talks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being objective, I don't know if I'd be champing at the bit to make the move at this moment.That's what I mean. I suspect he would get slightly more money there but would his conditions/constraints be all that different?He is building something very positive at St Johnstone. I said before our cup game with them that it would be very difficult given how organised they are. The games they have lost this term have been very tight and now they are obviously proving to be more than decent going forward. I think there would be an element of 'unfinished business' if he was to leave Saints just now. Edited October 5, 2015 by Angus_Young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNamara has spunked a lot of it already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's Scott Fraser come out of it this season and is yet another who looks like going all the way. There are many more. On the other hand, having to play all these good young players necessarily means you will lose games along the way. Wright seems more pragmatic in getting results today.

Wright has come out and said he is happy at Saints but we all know money talks. He'd probably end up out the door in eighteen months, as against being at Saints for the next five years if he wants to. Different if someone from down south comes calling with a lot more money, but he's better off at Saints for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamntg Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 On the other hand, if the £50k compo is indicative of his salary at St J then he'd more than double that at Tannadice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
