Jim Goodwin has accused Dundee United’s players of lacking the courage to keep them in the Premiership.
Barring a miracle today in Motherwell, the Tannadice club will be relegated. They need to beat the Steelmen and hope Ross County lose at Kilmarnock, with an eight-goal swing going in United’s favour. Deep down, Goodwin knows their fate is sealed.fter making a successful pitch to owner Mark Ogren, the 41-year-old was handed a two-year deal as new permanent boss and given the chance to lead the club out of the Championship next term. And with that green light from up top, Goodwin will set about making major changes.
Because after watching the Tangerines capitulate against Kilmarnock in their relegation decider on Wednesday night, he’s not convinced they have the stomach for a fight. And he says it’s no coincidence THREE gaffers – with Jack Ross and Liam Fox coming before him – have been unable to eek performances out of this group of players. Ahead of today’s clash, Goodwin said: “I came in to do a job and I haven’t been able to do it, unfortunately. But there was a couple of guys before me as well who tried to do things differently and they weren’t able to get a tune out of them either.
