Tazio Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 It would be interesting to see their financial figures. Their next door neighbours are heading for a big mess soon with their 125% of turnover wage bill and I’ve a feeling Dundee aren’t far behind as Charlie Adam won’t be playing for peanuts (more likely pies) and they’ll have taken a calculated risk on his wage reckoning he’d be the player to get them promoted.

lsimp77 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Cosying up to their neighbours last year was the first step in the merger and Dundee becoming a one team city. Hopefully with both clubs financial positions it becomes a zero team city quite soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I didnt want him back in the first place,many didnt, then we go out both cups to diddy teams. His race is run. I thought his race was run - not after Brora, but when there was apparently no reaction to that horror in the defeat at home to ICT. That I thought was the final straw. The players didn't do it for him, so I thought he'd lost the dressing room. Lose the fans AND the dressing room and you've had it. You can find a way back if you've lost one or the other, but not both. BUT... the 6-0 showed that he still has the players onside (albeit a week late). Not the scoreline particularly (and yes, it was only Alloa) but more the manner. The energy and drive and determination that had been missing all too often. And yes, a change in approach from the manager himself. True he still has a 77% disapproval rating, but my point was he's gained 17% after one good performance - if he can repeat that over the next 3 games, he may not be a dead duck quite yet. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing of course is open to debate.... 😠 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I genuinely hope that they rot in the Championship for a very long time. . I don't think the fans were particularly happy. I think In These matters it is wise to separate the fans and the club. The fans never voted us down or Utd up, the club did. Most fans across from all clubs agree the of run the game and every decision benefits them and would vote for the change. The clubs tho can't see beyond the monthly finances and have little or no care for the wider game and Scottish football in general. When teams are voting on something that could effect every team and shape the game for the future with bus fares in mind, the baw is burst. That happened as well. Farce, joke, amateur hour not to mention tin pot, short sighted and in general - just jobbies. . Celtic/ rangers swap board members, 11-1 voting system, uneven fixtures, it taken decades to even allow clubs to progress to the league system. The game is ****ed, but now rangers are back no one will care. The OF shit show can continue. 2 horse race for 30, 50, 100 years - cracking stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed, so do I , but it's the timing of this new thread on their forum that reeks of irony, especially when it seems that even their play-off place could now be in jeopardy. Of course, they weren't interested in reconstruction from the Championship last season as they finished 3rd..... but now they could miss out again, so maybe it now becomes their only realistic option.
