The club’s expenditure on salary dropped from £3.2m in 2022 to just over £3m in 2023 but turnover fell from £4.9m to £3.2m.
That means Dee’s wages-to-turnover ratio rocketed from 65 per cent to 95 per cent.
Makes sense considering we were relegated and had McPake's full squad of duds all still tied up for another year. Bowyer really was given a dud hand.
This was all expected tbh.

Well, that was... fine I guess.
If that was a random Raw throughout the year, it's probably slightly above average.
As a Raw after Mania, hugely underwhelming.

My missus asked me to take out cat to the vet after she noticed he was not putting pressure on one of his paws for a period.
Took him to the vet, where the wee b*****d suddenly decided he was as right as rain once he got out the carrier. Vet told me he was overweight and charged me £50.
I was fuming with the fat f**k... and the fat cat.

Think Taker’s spot was supposed to be Austin, wonder why that fell through.
Yeah, I'd agree with that. Major bummer they couldn't get all of the big 4 involved for 40.

All that was missing was Austin and that was perfection.

Struggling to find decent highlights of this game online. Thought Sky usually upload it fairly sharpish.

Add in the fact that they're moving to Netflix soon so they'll have a lot more freedom then.

That was absolutely fucking sensational.
5 star match.
Now give me all the crazy shenanigans tomorrow.
I want Goldust, Stone Cold, Rock turning on Roman and Hardcore fucking Holly.
Top notch.

It's quite impressive how we almost go out of our way to bottle games this season.
It actually takes some skill to switch off as much as we do after we take a lead.

What a fucking shambles. Bottled the game. Bottled the top 6.
Story of our whole season.

Tony Docherty needs to change tactic now.

We absolutely love a bottle job.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Bobby Cox side goal.
Blair Spittal just completely fresh air kicked a volley and mugged himself right off.
Derek Ferguson said it was the fault of the pitch.
Is he his agent by chance?

What did he say ?
He's blaming our pitch for you not having a good season saying it led to us getting players he wanted.
Wild.

Howling at Stuart Kettlewell saying he's very meticulous then following it up by saying 'plastic pitch or grass pitch, we know about it well in advance'.

Sent the army out to deal with the Kilmarnock tears from this thread. A single drop will make our pitch unplayable. Shoot on sight IMO.

Dundee FC really are the experts at bringing the best patter in Scottish football. Constantly box office. Never stay still. Always a different issue.
Really are the leading example for the definition of 'cinch' in footballing terms.

If David Dickinson has said our pitch is the Real Deal then no one can have any complaints, surely?

Mon now Motherwell. No need to be little bitches about the whole thing. You've been respectable lads up until this point.

If it won't be ready for next season then it'll have zero effect on their decision making this Summer.
4 hours ago, RandomGuy. said:They'll have to prove to the SPFL that it won't have the same issues again next season, which will cost a fortune based on Dundees fans claims about why the pitch floods.
I've shown you Motherwell had that exact situation when they had multiple postponements in the same season before.
Dundee fans just seem to be assuming it won't happen to them because they don't want it to. There is a precedent and that was with less postponements.
2 hours ago, RandomGuy. said:They're trying to figure out a way of making it someone else fault I'd imagine.
Feels very close to getting another "the pitch would be playable in 4 hours but the ref didn't care about supporters enough to force them all to wait that long to see" type rant from them.
2 hours ago, RandomGuy. said:Which is a bad sign in terms of the game going ahead, to me. They clearly know there's an issue and are already setting up a fall guy.
2 hours ago, RandomGuy. said:Because the best thing to do for fans is to delay the game 2 hours with no guarantees it'll actually go ahead at that time either.
1 hour ago, RandomGuy. said:You didn't have to mention the referee at all, Motherwell managed it.
Whataboutery is shite, but we've not had a single game called off due to our pitch this season, after spending 6 figures resolving potential issues last Summer. How much have Dundee spent on the Dens pitch in the last few years?
If you end up homeless with your new stadium still not built for the next 2 seasons, that'll come at a cost.
1 hour ago, RandomGuy. said:I'm not saying you should be punished, just that if there's further postponements this season then you will be.
30 minutes ago, RandomGuy. said:I'll be called all the names under the sun for saying it, but it's genuinely a disgrace that it's been allowed. That's a major hazard for players who are absolutely going over ankles on that part of the pitch.
10 minutes ago, RandomGuy. said:We have the benefit of not being forced to say its playable by our employers.
Anyone with a brain can see that massive sandpit is a massive hazard to the players.
What an absolute fucking state to get yourself into.
No wonder they've deemed the pitch playable as they've took one look at you and seen what a really spluttering mess is like.
Fucking hell Random.

Think it's quite telling that Dundee and Motherwell fans are the most lighthearted in this thread and on social media and seeing it as what will be, will be meanwhile Rangers, Hibs (Understandably considering the circumstances - but not including the good guys on here) and bizarrely, Kilmarnock fans that seem to be getting the most upset about it all.

He's the one that overseen the appointments of Gary Bowyer and Tony Docherty. Our first two competent appointments in a long, long time.
He's also completely in charge of our youth development. It's his plans, it's his programme we follow, he was the only one we didn't need to furlough (since he wasn't an employee) during Covid and he was the one that developed the training and diet plans and kept in touch with the players and parents during this time. We don't follow the SFA plan and are in one of the lower tiers and this is purposefully because Strachan doesn't agree with some of it and we've been following his system instead. You can argue the pros and cons of this but I don't think we've noticeably suffered in any way when it comes to the youth plan.
Strachan gets a lot of flak and a lot of it is deserved as his role isn't really clearly defined but he's basically a sounding board for everyone at the club now from the manager, to the board, to the youth teams parents and available at all times to ensure they don't make a completely daft decision.
He's done pretty well in the role. To earn £192,000 in shares after the best part of 5-6 years in the role isn't the worst money spent.
