The pressure has been ramped up on Liam Fox but he has insisted he is still the man to lead Dundee United to safety.
A St Johnstone double from Stevie May was enough to sink United - although a late blunder from Mark Birighitti gifted them the points. It is now five defeats on the bounce for the Tannadice club, who are one point adrift at the foot of the Premiership table and led to chants for the removal of Fox and sporting director Tony Asghar. Fox said: “Any manager’s position at any club comes under scrutiny when you’re on the kind of run we’re on.
“So I accept that, there’s no issue there for me because everyone is entitled to their opinion. I still feel I am the man to get the club where we need to get to, I have no doubt in my mind about that. We are frustrated, we’re disappointed and we’re angry. We are still bottom of the table. I’m not hiding from that. We need to take it on the chin, keep working and I believe the harder you work the more breaks you’ll get. I thought the players were brave, took the ball well and passed it well. But we are disappointed with the way the game finished.”
