That's were I'm at too. They hadn't backed Rodgers ,sold a few of there better players and looks like they are going to struggle to stay up and as you said he's got a good gig were he is and he's not Daft either and will know this

Exactly the same argument was made before Rogers moved and Gerrard for that matter.

Champions league football with a great squad of players vs relegation battle at a club who showed no ambition in the last transfer window. He would get offers a Premiership job with much more change of success if he hides his time.

No brainier for me.

Leicester had to move players on. Still have a much better squad than Rogers is showing.

What offers do you think he'll get? Leicester is a very good gig.

Different situations though imo .Rodgers spent over 100million 2019 . Had a decent squad too . Of late Leicester city have sold some of there better players without backing rodgers .Maybe the 120 million debt has something to do with it. They are losing over 3 goals a game . Bottom of league . I think Ange postecoglou is to smart to switch from a club that's winning leagues,cups and going to have champions League football every year with a really good team to a team that appears to be in a bit of turmoil.

Seems to me they are taking a massive gamble here if that's who they appoint as manager

Think they've blown the budget on Ross and have no other choice.

Scary times if your Dundee Utd fan , Bottom of league , Budget maybe blown and about to appoint a guy that's only other managerial jobs been a year at Cowdenbeath. All a recipe for disaster I think.

***DaveF*** · 23-09-2022 10:32 AM

Not sure it's that much of a risk. He seems to be well liked by the players who are putting a shift in for him, unlike their efforts under Ross.

***Callum_62*** · 23-09-2022 10:46 AM

Used to play against Foxy when I was younger - he was at Hearts, I was at Celtic

Players liking him doesn't make him a good manager though does it? Always think a team gets a lift when a new manager comes as Dundee Utd have had. Remains to be seen if that will last too. If I was a Utd fan I'd want a older experienced manager in to drag the club out of the mess there in not a inexperienced one that's only managed a year at a lower division team.Lets face it he's a rookie manager taken over a team that are bottom of the league and in serious trouble .couldn't be a worse job for a rookie manager imo and a massive risk taken by Dundee Utd due to where they sit in the league.

United were taking a gamble when they appointed Tam Courts, and that didn't play out too badly. I got the impression that they appointed Jack Ross, based on what the so called experts were saying rather than him being the stand out candidate.

Utd did take a gamble with Courts no doubt about it and as you said didn't play out so bad Though who would have thought 2 of the top five teams in the league would have been so bad ( us and Dons) maybe for argument sake you could say he was a bit lucky on that front . Honestly I didn't think Utd were that good under him and not entertaining either.38% win rate too not great .what happened Ross there was surprising thought he'd make them hard to beat if I'm honest.Id still if I were a Utd fan prefer a experienced manager to a Rookie one in there current situation .

He had a bit of a point to prove sacked the week before a cup final and would have been the obvious choice and seen as a safe pair of hands for any club in the Scottish Premiership. Not sure that reputation will go much further now though. But still probably get in at another bottom 6 club in future.

Or rather than him being the choice of the senior players?

**Lago** · 26-09-2022 07:07 PM

Watford sack their manager after only 11 games into the season.

Maybe I'm a little out of the loop but why did United let Courts walk for free in the summer, when he had done a decent job in his first season?
