Managerial Sack Race

Bournemouth stayed up for 5 years and spent plenty of money with a better manager in Howe.

Parker got backed big time at Fulham and flopped. He's not premier league quality I don't think.

Tbf, He's played 4 PL games, Beat Villa then lost to City, Arsenal and Liverpool. He's probably got more points than expected.

It's definitely harsh based purely on that. But there's an element of making yourself hard to beat and having a gameplan. All 3 of those matches were lost after 20 minutes

Parker rumoured to have had an altercation with some of his players ….

That's his fault then. He brought in 14 players this summer.

Look forward to hearing how Dundee United now sacking Ross is hibs fault also

[FilipinoHibs]

Could he still do a job at Hibs?

He brought in 8, the rest are upcoming loan returns.

Big Dunc or Michael O'Neill for Tannadice?

Based off nothing but chat from Dundee United fans I know, wouldn’t shock me to see him away today or tomorrow. Very little substance behind that though, just guesswork.

I was absolutely 100% ITK and no guesswork involved, I expect my plaque to be erected by the end of play today

That’s a career ending sacking that one. If he stays a manager he’s going to have to go down the leagues and build his reputation up again surely.

Seemingly the rumours of senior players having private meetings regarding Ross sounds like he lost the dressing room, no coming back from that when it happens.

We also had senior players not happy with Ross towards end of his time here. Not the superstar so many on here will have you believe.

Bang average manager

[Smartie]

That’s an insane chain of events since beating AZ.

Almost like beating Rangers with a superb performance in a semi final and finding yourself sacked by the final.

I’d be surprised if United’s problems begin and end with the manager for this to have happened and a few eyes will need to be trained on their more senior and high profile players going forward.

Noticable that Watt and Mulgrew were dropped against Celtic.

[Craig_HFC]

He deserved at least 1 more game, they owed him that much.

That's what was said when we sacked him, no?

If Ross had stayed and did well in that final, he couldn't have been sacked but there was no guarantee things would've improved. I heard Ron wanted him out regardless, hence why all his media pals had a go at Hibs when he went.

That's disastrous and won't be easy to put behind him. I wonder how much his pay off will be for ten weeks work?

[GreenPJ]

I wonder if the media will give DU as hard a time as they gave Hibs when we pulled the trigger on Maloney after his brief stint.

We didn't get pumped 7 and 9 nothing under Maloney though.

I honestly don’t think Jack Ross is all that good a manager.

He took over at Alloa with them 3 points off the bottom of the Championship in December. He got them relegated by double figures.

He done well at St Mirren with the only caveat being it was in the Championship so at a lower level. Definitely a success there though.

Failed at Sunderland.

He had plenty time to turn things around at us in his first season and didn’t have all that much ground to make up by the time he took over to get us top 6. He didn’t manage it. Done well to get us third. Left us in the bottom half. Had numerous terrible results. Done an alright job, no more, no less.

Now failed spectacularly at Dundee United.

I’d suspect if he carries on as a manager it’ll be in the top half of the Scottish Championship which considering it’s the only place he’s had unarguable success is probably his level imo.

I said it at the time but Maloney was thrown under the bus by Hibs.

Woefully backed after taking over a team on an atrocious run of form and losing the best player outwith the OF in the league. A guy that was carrying the team to mid table. Pretty much every combination of players and formations he was left with was woeful.

I don’t think his time at Hibs tells us anything about how Maloney will fair in future tbh.

[Hibernia&Alba]

If you're emptied within ten weeks, I suppose you can only fall back on the "I wasn't given a chance" excuse. "Things were terrible when I arrived and were going to take time to rectify, but what can you do in ten weeks"?

His only argument.

[Since452]

Looking forward to the press and pundits slamming United as much as they did us when we punted their Celtic golden boy Maloney. Wont hold my breath.
