Dundee United block Blackpool from holding Jackie McNamara talks

Dundee United deny Blackpool permission to hold talks with manager Jackie McNamara.

Dundee United have announced that they have rejected permission for Blackpool to hold talks with manager Jackie McNamara over possibly taking over at Bloomfield Road.

The Championship outfit have been without a permanent boss since sacking Paul Ince in January.

A statement on Dundee's official website said: "The manager has been kept aware of the situation and declared that he is fully committed to the club and very happy to remain at Dundee United for the foreseeable future."

McNamara added: "While flattered at the interest shown, I am very happy at Dundee United and wish to continue the job and build upon the foundations laid down over the last eighteen months or so.

"I view the approach as a positive endorsement of all the hard work undertaken by everyone at the club in that period and have no plans to leave. All of my focus is on the forthcoming William Hill Scottish Cup final and preparations for the new season ahead."

Barry Ferguson currently holds the caretaker manager role at Blackpool.
