Levein decision imminent

14:45, Dec 22 2009

Dundee United boss Craig Levein expects his future to be sorted by Wednesday morning. Levein held "positive discussions" with the Scottish Football Association on Monday and followed that by meeting United chairman Stephen Thompson on Tuesday morning where he indicated his wish to become national manager. "Everything should be resolved later on today or tomorrow morning one way or the other," Levein told BBC Scotland on Tuesday. "I had a meeting last night with some members of the SFA. "It went reasonably well. Story continues ADVERTISEMENT "It was about an hour long. It's impossible to get everything sorted in an hour, so those talks are ongoing without me. "I can tell you that I was pleased with the way the discussions went and that's important. "It's important for me to learn just what the job entailed and what I learned from the members of the SFA was fairly encouraging. "If I do leave Dundee United then I'm quite happy to give you my feelings from the heart about what's happened at this football club, but at this minute in time I'm still the manager, so there's no point in it."
