The Kingslayer Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Sensible appointment IMO, knows the Championship (if we're in it) and knows it's clubs, grounds, players and managers well. Any anger/frustration obv goes back to the 2-2 Hibs game and the Birkinkara game. Hibs winning the cup removed that stick that we had used with relish against them for years, and when we played Birkinkara at Tynecastle it was the first time we gathered as fans since the cup final. We were angry and confused that day, needing someone to blame, the fact that we lost to Birkinkara cemented in many minds that Neilson was responsible for what we were feeling, some have never gotten over it.

Even if she spoke to Levein, I don't think she would need much advice or convincing, she always had a high opinion of Neilson. To me this feels a lot more like the first ever (and possibly only ever) 100% Budge appointment, she's gone with someone she already knows and trusts. I suspect she's probably wanted him back since he left MK. This. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a hedging your bets type appointment IMO, which is exactly what we need after 2 or even 3 (looking at Levein's appointment with hindsight) risky hires. Neilson is guaranteed to know how to win the Championship and did very well in the Premiership with us, so wherever we are it's a safe appointment for the quick squad revamp and ship-steadying we need to happen next. OK, he doesn't bring the same sort of excitement a Robbo appointment might have generated or that Stendel brought to the team quickly, but that's partly down to his demeanour. We need results and he is proven in that respect. Some folk seem to forget that in manager terms he was effectively like a raw 20 year old when he was our manager. He's got 6 years at 3 clubs under his belt now. Still learning but will no doubt know where he went wrong with us first time and have an idea of how to do some things better.

Agree totally, have heard on here that he's not an "exciting" option. I wonder who would be a realistic, contender. Folk will say Stendel, but due to him not having experience in knowing how to set up a team against Arbroath at 7:45pm on a Wednedsay night in feezing winter, would be equally risky.

OTT Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Sunderland have released, Ozturk, Lafferty and Mclaughlin's out of contract (but has been offered an extension). Any takers? Pretty sure Neilson and Ozturk fell out at St Johnstone leading to Kitchen becoming captain so non-starter there for me. Think we're strong enough in striking options, but if Uche left I wouldn't say no. Gordon or Mclaughlin given the chance? Tough one IMO.

The Old Tolbooth Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 All I'm hearing from bitter Arabs (are we still allowed to call them that?) is that they didn't want him as their manager anyway, and how shite he was etc, it's the usual bitter pish you get from fans who've just lost their manager, after all, he had them miles in front in the Championship at a canter. Here's also an article on Robbie from that well known Dundee rag the Evening Times from roughly a year ago, and they can't praise the guy enough. https://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/fp/nice-guy-robbie-neilson-has-a-dark-side-says-new-dundee-united-assistant-mcculloch/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex member of the SaS Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Happy to have Robbie even though I said no to an ex player or existing Scottish manager. Levein being touted for Utd shows how poor the old merry go round is. They watched him destroy Hearts and think they have a gem? Personally think Levein and Robbie fell out over picking the team and tactics. Robbie coming back so soon after Levein has gone reinforces that for me. Pretty sure Robbie will do well this time without the interference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozturk definitely had a fall out so can’t see him coming back. Lafferty as always is a divisive character but to score 19 goals in that team was a ****ing miracle and probably kept us up.
