Ange Postecoglou insists it’s ‘kind of sad’ that Dundee United caved into the mob by sacking Jack Ross yesterday.
The Celtic manager left Ross hanging by a thread on Sunday when his rampant side romped to a devastating nine goal win at Tannadice. And with the Tayside club then facing a furious backlash from their own fans the decision was made to bullet Ross at breakfast time yesterday and begin the search for his replacement.
But Postecoglou believes United’s board should have had the courage to show their manager more patience - after appointing him to the position just ten weeks earlier. The Australian said: “It’s not that I’m not sympathetic, it’s more of an empathy of understanding that we’re all in the sort of business at the moment that if results don’t go your way – even in the short term – there’s just less inclination for people to be patient and allow people to find solutions.
