That can’t always be the answer though, it’s just not sustainable to be spending £3-4M on players every year. What happened to actually making players better? You can’t just be buying a player, giving him 20 games then chucking him aside saying he’s not good enough. Thelin (presumably) was brought in for his tactical knowledge/coaching ability. We should be improving these guys, working on the training ground to make them better. He took over a team who did well in the last 10 games of last season and the first 20 of this season yet now he has had time to work with them, the results are worse! Has Thelin actually improved one player since he came in the door? Aside from Shinnie, Clarkson and maybe Morris, the others who will be here at the end of the season were only signed in the last year or so. We shouldn’t be gutting the squad and if we really need to, the people that recruited all these guys should be going too.

Or, take the £5m windfall, and if that affects some league performances then so be it, considering that guaranteed group stage football might not be back for a few years after next season. The ONLY team that worries me are Hibs, and even then they are average and their run will come to a halt soon (much like it did for us). Think after this we generally only have one game a week until the split, which will make a big difference. Plenty of time on the training ground for Thelin.

...and Shinnie made a big difference when he replaced McKenzie(who seems to have lost any attacking instinct or bravery) Good to see Nisbet get a couple,not sure its enough to think about a permanent move yet,but played well in general,looked interested.As far as the rest of the season goes,if Thelin thinks he needs more time to work with formations/partnerships at the expense of Euro fitba for the rest of the season,i'd give him it

That was some escape there. What United get for sitting in at 2-0. We looked a better team once Okkels and Gueye were off.

Heading up for this game. ticket for X stand somewhere. Hopefully get to park again in disabled section behind main stand. fingers crossed my condition ok to drive back

forgot to add: Celtic beating us last week secured the league for them, as mathematically we now cannot overtake them. 2nd place still up for grabs though.
