johnnydun Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 31 minutes ago, Buttocks Brown said: We'll see.... He was 3 and a half hours on the road every day when he managed Hibs. He's not going to be driving from Northumberland to Dundee that's for sure. Would he move his family up to manage Dundee in the Championship? I just don't see it. Hefty compensation from both Sunderland and Hibs (was under contract with the latter until 2024) so happy to wait until something he likes comes along. In the meantime, he'll keep up his media appearances and if he's linked with a job then no point in dismissing it: keeps his name in the papers. Unfortunately, this may lead to drawn out disappointment for Dundee fans. If he does take a job this summer then it'll likely be in England. Oh aye, because managers don't travel. You do realise McGhee still lives in Brighton aye? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 7 hours ago, Ranaldo Bairn said: Heard on good authority that Jack Ross is very close to agreeing to manage you jute-botherers next season, irrespective of which division. Don't know if this is a revelation or not but there you go. If that happens, Dundee fans shouldn't get too excited. Jack Ross is a good manager, but he's a butterfly, never settling anywhere for long. He also has an ego, so if he does well (he probably will, I can see Dundee being favourites to win the league if they appoint him) they'll then be looking for a new manager in a year as he fecks off to some better gig. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I can see Ross going for it, and he'd be a hell of an appointment for Dundee. Obviously being back in the Championship wasn't part of Operation Become Scotland Manager, but he's going to have to rebuild his rep. His stock was never higher than when he won the title with us, so that will be appealing. Plus, your squad is already riddled with ex-St Mirren players, so that'll save him a job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really believe the only reason he didn't take it sooner was because he didn't want a relegation on his CV. Either way, he would be the first manager since Hartley that I'd have any sort of positive feeling about. Think you're on to something about his stock with St Mirren. He was on the top of everyone's shopping list. If sorting us out is the stepping stone to greatness for him I'll take it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Charlie Adam in The Courier saying he wants to stay on with us next season and doesn't want to play for anyone else. Goes on to say that if a new manager or the board don't want him then he'll accept it and retire. He's definitely worth another season. We just can't be building the whole team around him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee-FC92 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 We are utter shite and I was disappointed when St Johnstone managed to equalise on Saturday. We need to go down and start the restructure from McPakes disastrous squad build. We're still in the very beginning of the transition without mcpake and now is decisive. Get a new manager in, get rid of as many as possible and bring in players who can get us promoted at the first time of asking and able to make the step up straight away. Over to the board. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I don’t do X then I will not do it”. It's not difficult (for most of us anyway)to understand - The stadium project is not dependant on what league Dundee are playing in.

Just as Ludo said. I am sceptical about the viability of the stadium, even though it is supposedly part of a larger development. However I am also sceptical about the revenue stream that a new stadium would need to produce to help make the whole thing viable and the league that Dundee are playing in will certainly impact upon the revenue to the club and, hence, the contribution the club can make in rent or whatever. FWIW if Ogren said tomorrow he was building a new stadium for us I wouldn’t believe it until the thing was up and running. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been really concerned by his kicking, but looked to have improved that quite a bit on Saturday. Some save. Not fully convinced he's better than Legzdins yet, but I'm comfortable with him scrapping for the jersey next season with him. Two good goalkeepers for Championship level and Sharp is getting invaluable top flight experience just now! Just need to get Lawlor off the books and we can use his wage on a more pressing area! With players like Sharp, Anderson, Robertson & Mulligan all being around the first team in recent seasons and the likes of Fisher, Luke Strachan, Jack Wilkie & Lyall Cameron getting good reviews from the youth it could be that the worst thing we've ever done was giving McPake the managerial job as it seems like he was cracking at the youth development side and that's all just from his first batch of youth! We really should have kept him in that role. Needless. If Strachan's ideas are half as successful, we'll be in a good place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've made it very clear from the get go that the stadium is not exclusively for Dundee FC. All the training facilities are for public use (money), the stadium itself is for concerts and of course sporting events (money) and the other parts of the build were long term investments to cover operations and the project over time. Houses for people that need somewhere to live (money) and a crematorium for people that no longer need houses (money). Plus there was chat of the SRU investment (money) as there is nothing that substantial on the east coast of Scotland and improvements such as a purpose curling rink added to the Ice arena (money). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I wish people would stop replying to Danger. He's asked these questions in the past and they have been answered then too. He claims he doesn't understand the answers then comes around asking the same questions debating whether they have been asked before. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Adam of first half of this season, yes. Not now though, he'd really be just a 30 min sub appearance at best. Even with a decent pre season I just can't see it working and too big a risk to gamble on his wages v other option. We need to build for the future with someone of the quality to help get us up with 90 mins each game (and preferably without periods of injuries) and be around if we can get up. Just need to find the next Cammy Fraser, simples 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah was speaking to a mate about the team the day. I reckon we should just go for it n give him the number 1 jersey n back him up. Legzdins isn't anything special n Lawlor is not the best so don't see why not go for it with Sharp. Anderson I hope keeps on going. Robertson needs game time. Out on loan for a full season and actually playing would do him good. Mulligan I've no clue.... got rave reviews at Peterhead n seen some glimpses of him. I've said before but I'd like to see him at right back. Other youngsters I've nae idea on how there progressing. Have to ask other fans on opinions of the other players out on loan. Seen it before where players went out on loan and then released so see what happens wee these youngsters.
