Tony Asghar insists Dundee United are prepared if the club are relegated as he defended the running of the club - and said they are on track for the five-year plan since Mark Ogren took over at Tannadice.
The sporting director has come under fire but came out fighting in a wide-ranging interview as he addressed the managerial turnover - five in the last the three years - and the club’s recruitment which has also been criticised.
The Arabs unveiled an “Asghar Out” banner during the 1-0 defeat to Kilmarnock at Rugby Park - the first game after a transfer window where they allowed Tony Watt to depart for St Mirren on loan and failed to bring in a striker, with defender Loick Ayina brought in from Huddersfield Town on loan. United are bottom of the table, the appointment of Jack Ross proved a short-lived nightmare and they lost rising start Lewis Neilson to Hearts for nothing after losing a compensation battle with the SPFL ruling that the Jambos didn’t have to pay a fee.
