This appointing experienced assistant managers very rarely works.

16 years assistant to Derek McInnes.

 

Must have some qualities.


Heard a lot of good things about ‘Doc’ in interviews. 
 

Obviously hoping it doesn’t work out for them, but will be keeping an eye on it.

Pretty well regarded by all accounts. Strange time to split away from McInnes though.

Maybe McInnes already has an assistant in situ at his next club?

Still so confused by Bowyer leaving Dundee, unless he thought they were getting smashed next season and sent back down. 
 

If Dundee actually shoved him out to take a shot on a first time head man, risky.

Sorry, never noticed that!

 

Does seem strange to part with McInnes at this time.

Regular John

It'll be interesting to see how McInnes gets on without him. Could end up being a strong appointment, I think.

Bowyer was sacked. 

 

The only hint was they were worried he'd move to another job.

I was hoping they would go for Lennon or the guy with questionable parentage who was shite at Elgin among other places

Absurd. Who would have called? Hearts is a bigger job and I don’t remember seeing his name bandied about here. A club down south? Be clear eyed. I wasn’t angry when Neilson went to MK Dons. Never be afraid of a manager moving because their ambition outpaces your current situation. Only makes it easier to recruit the next manager, should you be smart about process.

 

This is why they’re a yo-yo club.

Dundee is skint and they don't own Dens Park. Here's an extract for their accounts for 2022 that were published yesterday.

 

Going concern

The company has made a loss for the year of £892,440 (2021 profit of £74,279). At the year-end, there was a deficit of £3,392,308 (2021 deficit of £2,499,868) of shareholders' funds. In considering the company's ability to continue as a going concern in relation to the continuing significant level of deficit on shareholders' funds, the directors of the company have considered interim financial statements and detailed financial projections prepared covering the period to 31 May 2023, as well as further financial projections covering the year to 31 May 2024. The projections reflect the expected trading results for season 2022/23 as well as for season 2023/24, which are not expected to be better than the results reported for year end 31 May 2022. These projections have been drawn up on the basis of conservative assumptions as to the league position to be achieved by the football club, attendance levels at matches, and the management of all costs, including expenditure on players costs. The financial projections which have been prepared anticipate that the company will be able to meet its ongoing financial commitments from funds generated from operations. As the company does not have formal funding facilities in place to cover any financial deficits which might occur during the forecast period, the directors recognise that the company might again require to obtain further financial support from the company's majority shareholder, Football Partners Scotland L.P. The board of directors has received an undertaking in writing from Football Partners Scotland L.P. that it will continue to make additional funds available to the company in situations where these funds are required, with the aim of ensuring that the company has sufficient funds available to meet its financial commitments as they fall due and that this undertaking is given for at least the 12 months period from the date of signing these financial statements. The directors are satisfied that Football Partners Scotland L.P. has sufficient financial resources to fulfill this undertaking. Consequently, the directors consider that it is appropriate to continue to prepare the accounts on the going concern basis.

Aye, maybe for Dundee in general, but only because one of them will go bust. 

 

They will never merge. It would be like us merging with Hibs.

Will hopefully put paid to one of them getting relegated and another coming up. My delight at United going down was tempered a wee bit by their neighbours coming up.
