Tony Asghar insists he’s not had his ego bruised after losing three Dundee United bosses in as many seasons. But the Tangerines chief believes new gaffer Jack Ross can swell the sense of self-esteem floating around Tannadice even further.
In fact, he reckons Ross is a level above his recent predecessors. Terrors sporting director Asghar has been forced to go on the hunt again after seeing Robbie Neilson, Micky Mellon and Tam Courts all quit the club of their own accord in quick succession.
Former United stalwart Steven Pressley claimed last week that rapid turnover of managers was a sign something is “not quite right” at his old club. But Asghar insists that each man had their own specific reasons for leaving the club as he pointed out their sudden departures have done nothing to derail the upward curve that has taken United back into Europe for the first time in a decade.
