Stellaboz Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Dundee took less than 48 hours to bin McGhee. I'm really worried that nothing is happening here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 The police should maybe do a welfare check at East End. They’ve maybe gone full Battle Royale in there. My money would be on Meggle being the last man standing. He’s probably drinking out the bogs and eating pigeons by now, wearing nothing but some away outfits shorts and a club tie as a bandana. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Club is losing a lot of fans because of their silence. Will be even worse once they announce that Hughes is staying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 They’ve probably spent the last 5 days drafting up the statement defending Hughes/explaining their decision to keep him. I doubt they’ve come up with anything other than “we think we need consistency” as there’s nothing he has done that justifies keeping him on after he got us relegated.No doubt end up with something about how they see things that we don’t. Talk about him working tirelessly and claim that they’ve seen some progress during his time - despite the fact we seemed to get worse the more players he signed himself. Then they’ll mention how shocked and upset the manager and the board were to the reaction from fans after the playoff defeat. Then tell us we need to back him and the club. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1885 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 If Hughes was kept on and there was wholesale changes on the playing side with actual decent signings (ala Dylan Easton etc), what would feeling be like? Thoughts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Wouldn't make a difference. Season ticket sales would struggle to be even 1000. Hughes will be punted in October. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts I have no faith in Hughes regardless of signings. Completely lost all confidence in him to make any use of them. His a stubborn old fart, that won't change his ways. He a slavering shite of a man. The thought of having to listen to his ramblings next season fill me with dread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts Hughes who is known to be terrible with transfer windows, hughes who looked at our midfield, criticized it heavily and thought chalmers and polworth were the solution. Not going to happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC. Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Hughes cannot be involved at this club. It simply cannot happen. I think I could see myself walk away from the club if they keep him, and it would take a serious revolution from top to bottom for me to get invested in the Pars again. I imagine a good proportion of the fanbase are the same. This is a very crucial time for our club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine a good proportion of the fanbase are the same. This is a very crucial time for our club. I know P&B is quite full of hyperbole but still I think it needs saying - we aren't going to see a massive drop off in season ticket sales or attendances just due to Hughes. There are several people here and on dotnet who will say they aren't coming back but from the people I speak to who don't do social media, the manager and the squad will have almost zero impact on whether they get a season ticket or not. We had about 2,300 season tickets sold last year; we aren't going to see over half of them not renew just because of Hughes or because we were relegated. The squeeze on the cost of living will be a much bigger factor and even then it might cost us a couple of hundred, but nowhere near a thousand losses. When you add up the die hards who'd buy a ticket if Putin was announced as our new manager, folk who think Hughes should get time to try and turn it around, those who think we were "unlucky", those who take kids along, the young team who are starting to get into it, and the fans like me who don't like Hughes or his style of play but will get a season ticket regardless, there are more than enough tickets being sold that it's not going to go off a cliff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
