Jim Goodwin accepts his move to Dundee United is a risky one after taking the job just 32 days after being sacked by Aberdeen – though he insisted it’s a "risk worth taking".
Goodwin took Aberdeen into the World Cup break whilst sitting pretty in third place in the Scottish Premiership, but a torrid run of form – including batterings at the hands of Hearts and Hibs sandwiching a shock cup exit to Darvel – saw him relieved of his duties at the end of January with the Dons tumbling to seventh.
Fast forward just over a month, and Liam Fox's sacking earlier last week left the door open for Goodwin to accept a Dundee United move. The Tangerines currently sit bottom of the top-flight table, and the Irishman knows the task ahead will be no easy feat as they aim to steer clear of trouble. But despite claiming that people think he is 'off his head' for taking the move, Goodwin believes he can keep United up – adding that the players have taken responsibility for their rock bottom dilemma.
