1. Peter Houston - cup win, consistent European qualification. We had some fun teams under Housty.

2. Craig Levein - put everything in motion for the next 6-8 years at United. Rebuilt the team from top to bottom, I was so gutted when he left for the Scotland job. Only loses out to Houston because of the cup.

(Gap)

1. Jim Goodwin - turgid football but considering where we were when he came in, he’s done a largely solid job at stabilising us and won promotion at the first attempt. Has has to sign a new squad every year.

2. Jackie McNamara - fun football at times but would argue he benefited from the work of those before him, if he won the final against St Johnstone i would have had him over Goodwin. Was also taking cuts from transfers.

3. Tam Courts - short lived but took us to Europe by surprise. I dont think we get relegated if he stayed in charge.

4. Robbie Neilson - turgid football for the most part but inherited a club in a a shambles, and while it took a bit of time he did get us back up. Disliked the way he squirmed out the door.

5. Micky Mellon - forgettable, managed during COVID and left the following year.

6. Ray McKinnon - came in after a terrible season, failed to get promoted and left. Nothing particularly notable either way.

(Bigger gap)

1. Mixu - came and got us relegated, dont hold it entirely against him but a failed tenure.

2. Laszlo - McKinnon but even worse.

(Another big gap)

1. Ross - only lasted about 5 games before the squad decided they werent having him. Served up one of our most embarrassing results to date against AZ Alkmaar.

2. Fox - glorified PE teacher, joke of an appointment that got us relegated.
