Steven Fletcher's departing words as he ripped up the final year of his Tannadice contract: “I know this club will be back where it belongs with the group of players that remain here under Jim’s guidance”

Was it a two year contract they gave him 😉

I'm still incredulous that he got the initial short term deal let alone a further 2 years after failing to save them!

One of the mystifying things in football is how managers get worse over time. You'd think they'd improve with experience but Goodwin isn't the first to just seemingly get go on a downwards spiral.

Mark McGhee at one point was highly rated. Now he's a joke figure.

You can't say it's an age thing as Goodwin is still a young coach.

Could it be that some of them get found out and cannot adapt their style once they have.

A guy with a record like Jim gives a dressing room the ready made excuse they're looking for when things are tough.

Probably not a worse manager than before but perception of him from players is probably completely different and they produce less with that safety net of a diddy manager to blame.

Well at Aberdeen he completely changed his style, which was the problem.

He went from an unspectacular but generally pretty solid 3-5-2 at St Mirren, to trying to be a 4-3-3 attacking maestro at Pittodrie.

I would have thought Goodwin would have learned from his mistakes at Aberdeen, the china in a bull shop approach of telling experienced players they can't be coaches (Brown/Mulgrew), doing the whole "I only want players who want to be here" (Considine/Bates/Levitt/Fletcher) and tearing into the rest of the squad.

But apparently not. Appears he likes upsetting the dressing room, then replacing the dressing room.

That's a sneaky use of links not being able to show decimals.

I did same thing saw the link thought fucking hell how did it get that bad then read article and realised not as bad. That said it does show danger of relegation and why we have to avoid it.
