Jack Ross' Tannadice torture has come to a ruthless end after just 10 weeks in charge. But hurting Dundee United fans reckon it’s not just the manager who should be shown the door after a five game losing streak that saw them ship 23 goals including nine to Celtic on Sunday.
Davie Kirkpatrick, Dundee, said: “So Ross has fallen on his sword and no wonder after that three-week catastrophe. Unfortunately the players who were as much, if not more so, to blame are still there. Good luck to whoever takes on the challenge of saving this season. They’ll need it.” Bill Park, Bathgate, added: “Someone should tell the Dundee United players that under the rules of football you’re allowed to tackle your opponents. Their display against Celtic was disgraceful and demoralising for their supporters.”
Tim Gibbens is already turning his attention to the next man in charge and emailed: “Dundee United’s next manager should be Kevin Thomson. We need to go back to basics and he’s just the type that could have the team playing with some pride. He’s available, credible and ambitious. However, going by its recent track record, the Dundee United board will no doubt opt for someone like John Hughes.”
