If you think briefing the press and unsettling a manager in the week before a massive game is "doing things properly", then we view things very differently.

adamntg Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) PS - the wife's from the Vale of Leven and Dumbarton away is one of the few positives I can find from the whole debacle. Hopefully it'll be a Sat afternoon though and we'll get a wee session in with friends after the game. Edited May 9, 2016 by adamntg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberdeenAngus Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I think Utd went about this correctly but would question why they had to approach Raith on Saturday. Body wasn't even cold so to speak. That said nobody knows what behind door conversationsuppliers had taken place between the clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotunited Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Was there not talk of Hibs being interested in MCKinnon as well as manager ? And think that prompted United to move quickly ( after Raith lost) and did not want to risk losing out on him. re: off the record press briefings, is it right no, but tell me 1 club / player / manager who does not do this, at every level of the game. There is a section in the secret footballer books (I think?) that covers this, and it is common practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamntg Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 I think that's the point. It's off the record - I don't know if it happened and neither does anybody else. But let's condemn on supposition anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse if the club doesn't follow protocol, and most clubs including mine have failed to do that in the past. However the outrage on here after utd doing it by the book is interesting.

I just wanted to try and see if I got the argument. I'm not outraged because as you say it's not unusual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
