This Charming Man

Agree @RossBFaeDundee, however the man has his professional pride and price. Feed it properly and we will prosper. Collective outfit of shorts, sports jacket and Smiths tee-shirt, sorted imho. (Andy Rourke, RIP). Agree also @rhumbaclub, we shop in the damaged goods category also due to John Nelms' ongoing reputation in the game. Regards

Appreciate and accept that sentiment my man. However if these guys (Nelms and Strachan) have our club's best interests at heart rather than their piss water stain ego's, they have to swallow their pride and do the right thing. That's certainly preferable to Neil McCann, Jim McIntyre, James Mistake and then the already retired Mark McGhee. Callum Davidson, holy shit, is that the best standard these clowns can come up with? Disappointing.

John Nelms' doing what John Nelms' does best, unstructured yet to be expected absolute chaos. Is he related to Tim Keyes, hence this ongoing tolerance of business ineptitude? Or is this down to Mr Keyes general lack of interest, taking also into account the publicly silent Mr Strachan and his obvious inverted influence on Mr Nelms. Get the cheque book out for the two fellers below. I assure you we will fill your imaginary new stadium, or in the meantime happily at Dens Park. To be employed as manager and assistant manager, in that order. Regards and thank you.

We can't all be wrong on here regarding not wanting Callum Davidson as manager at Dens. A very real concern is considering he was the manager for two thirds of St. Johnstone's major trophy haul, I see very little warmth or indeed positive opinions from the Saintee followers on here. Another major issue is, having tolerated James Mistake's signings for the last 3 or more years, we've finally cleared the decks and are about to hand the keys of the building to someone with arguably a worse record of disastrous signings for a smaller club. No disrespect intended Saintee fellers. Regards.

Grant McCann and Nathan Jones, both very competent and proven English Championship and League One managers would be top of my list. A blank canvas at a club and a decent budget just may be attractive to a manager looking for a rebuild project completely from scratch. Anyway, back to planet Earth and grim reality, I would not be disappointed if Robbie Neilson or Jack Ross were to arrive, if John Nelms' and Gordon Strachan are genuinely seeking improvement at Dens Park that is. In the "up your arse" category currently reside Callum Davidson and Malky Mackay. Have a word with yourselves gents, have you seen @Ludo*1's list of Clum's signings, truly terrifying, bar one or two decent journeymen. Plus have you seen Malky's historic text's, good football manager however disgraceful comments in this day and age. Due to WGS being the decision maker, we can now realistically expect either his son Gavin, or indeed Willie Miller ably assisted by Roy Aitken. Good friend, Mark McGhee has unfortunately announced his retirement last year, however never say never, lol. Please get it right gents, Robbie Neilson or Jack Ross, the latter of which after all has a lot to prove in our city, which we may just all come to enjoy. Thank you and regards.

Probably like you Liam, I am opposite the Main Stand. There's a thought eh? We're all Dark Blue though, regardless of our opinions. All the best my man.

Respect @johnnydun as always. Excellent poster on P&B and I respect your opinion. However, having watched the feller Hannant operate on the park, we clearly have a different opinion on his work application and actual effectiveness to the team. Now it would appear he's excelling online, where he failed to contribute and entertain on the park, lol. It may be my basic expectations outstrip the average modern player and having watched Dundee FC since 1975 I may have outstayed my welcome in this regard. The youngster it would appear @Liam899, go easy on the red dots young man. Alternatively at least post a relevant response to others' postings. Regards as always.

Yep ignore the very talented Mr Cameron on a full time contract, let's sign up more on-field non contributing bluffing players like Mr Hannant, with nowt or very little between their ears it would appear from their very own social media contributions. You guys out there have never had to manage people, have you? Clearly not, from your comments on this very forum. Before red dotting my professional opinion, I've never as yet issued one red dot in four years on P&B, always respecting all alternative opinions, however off-piste they may appear. Regards and thank you.

All wind and considerable pish from Mr Hannant. Show up and contribute on the lower league football park first young man, then you have the right to party. Grow the f**k up and be an adult. Regards

Well done folks, only surprised it took until the final game and all the very best for next season. Best regards.

Scottish Premiership you say, over yonder hillside, can't miss it young man. LUKE for the signpost, you can't go wrong.

Nice one Biggie, "I was (also) happy in the haze of a drunken hour" when I used to proudly plug on the same juke-box Morrissey's 'Alsation Cousin' to an overcrowded Saturday night Old Bank Bar, lol. Happy days indeed whilst a vibrant young man.

This game on Friday is an unwanted weight on both our shoulders. With respect, may the lowest number win Number 6. Be seeing you, regards Number 2.

Agree totally my man, next Friday should be a cigar and slippers evening with our collective feet up. Looking at our current league position of 60 points from 35 games, that equates to a 57.1% points return! Piss poor indeed in this standard of football, imho. Comments welcome on a postcard Messrs. Nelms and Strachan. Thank you

Poorest standard of Dundee team and indeed league for that matter I can recall. In fairness I missed out on the Kernaghan and Rae experiment due to work commitments, however this has been six years of constant pish now if I'm honest. Prove us all wrong next Friday. Thank you.

To say the least Shads, truly disappointed. Truly, truly, truly. Good night and thank you.

Yep, looks really interested does Tim Keyes. Obviously used to and likes watching paint dry in his spare time. Shocking, although not unexpected performance tonight, imho. Three of these clowns under contract next season, one of which currently on loan at Perth, ffs. Shite team in a shite league.

Ally Graham: Highly-rated Dundee kid trains with Southampton (thecourier.co.uk) Speaking of the local papers, I see one of our fledglings is on trial at Southampton. Win this league and it will be make or break time for our wealthy owners, I wish them well and retaining these youngsters should be part of that plan. Cheers, here's to the memories below eh?

Happy days to be a Dee, however I remain a tad concerned over Tim Keyes' plans for a new local crematorium if the adverts on tv featuring Gary Bowyer are anything to go by, lol.

Recall John Fletcher consistently impressing playing against Dundee and being then delighted we'd signed him for as little as £20,000 iirc. Ludicrously blonde hair, even for the 1970's lucky fellow, early teens for me to truly judge a player , however always appeared an honest and industrious hardworking team player, imho.

Thank you @Ludo*1 for your informed Alan Kernaghan era reply. Back in 2005, not renewing my season ticket at that time I honestly thought I would pick and choose my games, work permitting that was. The reality being and casting my mind back, I attended I think 4 games that season, ffs. Very poor fare on display. This current season, if I'm really being perfectly honest and it does pain me. Not sure I'd open the lounge blinds and submit Mrs TCM to Dundee FC, Paul McMullan and co playing outside our house, jeezi-peeps. This is without doubt, 'a shite state of affairs', to quote Renton from 'Trainspotting'. I, much like our current club owner Tim Keyes', am not sure of the way ahead I'm afraid. However to empty the inept John Nelms and the leech that is Gordon Strachan, that'd certainly be a positive constructive start, imho. Hopefully any comment from Tim Keyes regarding our club within the next 12 months would be most welcome. If not, name your price, sell to a party who may genuinely be interested and off you pop my good man. Show some decorum and class Mr Keyes if the Dundee Crematorium project is not going to happen. Plans to build a new stadium with 3 players under contract, holy shit, waken up everyone. Thank you.

In my mind, the obvious issue is the playing pool in the main is clearly not of the standard expected by any of us to represent our club, regardless of which league we compete in next season. Due to the majority of playing staff being recruited by James Mistake, this will come as no great surprise to anyone on here. However, how do you motivate employees to go that 'extra special' distance and clinch a league, who the majority of which are clearly not going to be retained in the summer? Six or seven seasons of utter rancid pish now and counting, primarily due to John Nelms' ineptitude in managerial recruitment. Kindred charming polite man he is, I include Gary Bowyer in this equation. I recall in 2005 (after relegation) due to work commitments not renewing my season ticket and missing out on the Alan Kernaghan experience. Surely this current level of performance must be worse? Genuine question.

Thinking back about some of our great players at Dens Park when I first started attending as a Dark Blue, may I just say very young fledgling in the mid 70's. To be honest if I was in John Nelms' current, clearly uneducated/qualified and awkward position of the past 10 years, I would have enlisted as a sounding board and advisor to the club one Jocky Scott every day of the week. Certainly before inviting a certain Gordon Strachan anywhere near the club again. Mr Strachan has already pissed off to Celtic in an advisory position at the very first phone-call last year, whilst overseeing the pension-pot appointment of his very good friend Mark McGhee, already at that point banned from the dugout for half his games in charge and arguably dragged our club's national exposure to a joke level not seen since Angus Cook's embarrassing tenure. Appears, as expected we've not a pot to piss in judging by the season ticket begging bowl out by mid March and the ludicrous prices being asked for an as yet, unknown commodity next season. As a previous, latterly self employed person, I shit you not, in a business sense none of this bodes well, imho. As usual, merely my opinionated concerned opinion, lol.
