I nearly forgot our sparkling away form 2 seasons running in the league, I think we were only beaten about twice outside of Glasgow over the space of about 18-20 months pretty impressive

Theres no doubt in my mind that over the last 6 season DUFC along with Motherwell have been the most consistent teams in the SPL
======

i duno if i agree here mate, or maybe i just expect more of DUFC, with players you have and had over the last few years i think you should be up there near the top.

houston wasnt a good manager, and i think with a decent manager you will see the best of russell, GMS, daly etc

and, though i think this is a bad point, end up getting more money for them

Westcoast A very good article mate.

I agree there have been so many great times watching United since the day Levein took over. Look where we were the day he walked in the door We have made fantastic progress and the club is in a far better position on and off the pitch.

As you say, this has all been done while reducing the debt by £4 million

However, I feel that Houston was taking us backwards and things had gone very stale. We need freshened up and that is what will happen. We go on from here. We will continue to sell our best players, at the right price, and eventually clear the debt

Best games of this era omitting the 2010 final. The League cup semi against Aberdeen at Tynecastle was a fantastic night. A superb atmosphere, perfaormance and Clangers chipped in with his own cameo. The other was the 4-2 at Easter road in 2010. That goal by Swanson A simply superb overall performance

It is time to move on now. There are good memories, but PH was making it impossible to back him. BRING ON THE RANGERS

Good article. It's a pleasant change to see a manager leave a club with a thank you rather than a kick up the erchie. I sincerely hope you guys do well for the rest of the season, starting on Saturday of course

AK

no craig whyte masks though, thats not funny.

its on funny when they do stuff.

there not funny tho

AK, you know I backed Houston all the way last season and I was at the 4-1 at Dunfermline and a lot of the fans were backing him then too. That game for me (actually another highlight) changed our season last year and I've been waiting for that game to happen this season, but it never has. It's just not happened this season and Houston didn't really address our problem at the back, so he must take some of the blame for that, with a Webster type figure I feel we'd be up there with ICT and Hibs!!!

Anyway we're not that far behind, if we get the right man in we can still make top 4, and more importantly stay in the cup

Forgot to mention Goodies overhead kick in the 2-2 against Motherwell, what a peach we were along the other end of the GF so didn't see it that well

Keny, I did say most consistant outwith the Old Firm, us and Motherwell have been for sure.

westcoast I was in the shed that day and right in front of it. Goodie caught it sweet, but to be fair Randolph should have had it.

Houstons downfall has been his assembly of the squad and his refusal to drop certain players. We haver far too many centre midfield players and he has wasted money on guys live Mihadjuiks, Van der Meulen, Vignal, McLean and Skacel.

Thanks for the memories, but I am glad he is now gone

Lacny How could I forget that kant

west coast

u know your club better than me mate, im not going to argue that point ever

i just look at you guys and wonder based on the talent you have why you aren't in second.

I firmly believe that united are scotland's second best team behind Celtic

Keny I think with the correct appointment we can get up to third this year and kick on next season. I do not think that Pressley is the man to do that though.

posted on 29/1/13

any choices who u want as manager?

Pressley seems an intelligent guy but not sure that lack of charisma carries well in management.

then theres jackie mac who is about as charasmatic as a bag of cold chips.

tell u what, with the players you have, could do worse than shiels...

posted on 29/1/13

Shiels is not the kind of guy I want at Tannadice. He just courts attention and that is not good for the club. I think we have to recognise the budget. I would prefer McNamara as Falkirk are 18 point behind in that league The boy at Moore at Morton has done a fantastic jon

Henning berg?

AK, I think at the end of that game everybody wished they had been in the shed But when big JD came up and scored the 2nd I got a pretty good view of that

What about Phil Brown?? I've heard his name mentioned a few times, he might be out our price range though!!
Not to sure about Pressley though, but Houston had no managerial experience and that turned out ok (up until this season anyway) Sometimes things just work out at a club, this could be the challenge Pressley needs. He knows how to beat Rangers that'll do for starters

posted on 29/1/13

Levein back with Houston as assistant we might even beat one of the OF to the back page with that headline

posted on 29/1/13

id say the stirling albion boss knows how to beat rangers but he wasnt needed that day

posted on 29/1/13

Whoever the new manager is, they have an instant opportunity to endear themselves. Just beat the newco and that will be a great start
