So I became a Dundee fan through default. At one point I even sold programmes at the Provie Road end at Dens – one of the games that sticks out is the 4-3 win over Rangers, when I was selling programmes before it. “I watched Dundee home and away for a good few years. Strangely enough, I signed an S form with them when I was 13, although I am not sure they also knew I was a fan.” Aye, 'fan by default' sounds like he fucking loves you, right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything this thread shows that Saint Mirren fans are deluded, gibbering morons tbh. 1 hour ago, NorthBank said: I, for one, am not trying to convince myself. Dundee's last set of accounts show - They made a £530,00 loss last season. Club wages increased by £175,000 (to just avoid relegation). Maintenance bill for a dilapidated stadium increased by £50,000 last season. An additional £500,000 will be required next season for rent increases. Not much scope for a player war chest there. Reasonably, a 1 in 7 chance of a top six play-off. Better odds for bottom six. St Mirren No debt. Some of the best training facilities and one of the best academies in Scotland attracting young talent (half our squad the last 5 years has been Academy players). We sold 3 this year with a potential income of 7 figures. We have sell-on clauses for McGinn (33%) and McLean (10%) potentially generating income this year. And we have two standout young academy players in the team at the moment attracting a lot of attention (Morgan and Magennis) with more talent in the pipeline. ie steady income from player sales. New ambitious board. Jack signed loads of players based on his personality - will he walk away from these people after promising them an all out attack at winning the Championship next season? St Mirren are a club in an upward trajectory. Dundee are treading water at best with little scope for development and a chance to shine. Jack has already started his plan at St Mirren over the last six months by getting rid of almost all the incumbents and bringing in his own men and recently added to that squad. At Dundee he would have to start all over again. St Mirren may get into the Premiership this time next year and become another bottom six club like Dundee. But this season they have a great opportunity to do something and Jack will take that opportunity. ^^^ exhibit A Saint Mirren - "a club on an upward trajectory". Let's look at the facts, shall we? 2013/14 - shitfesting in the top flight 2014/15 - relegated to the second tier 2015/16 - finished 6th in the second tier (42 points) 2016/17 - finished 7th in the second tier (39 points) If by 'upward' you meant 'travelling up the country to Peterhead and Montrose on league duty' then yep, you're definitely on track for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike Saint Mirren, Morton are actually on a discernable upward trajectory year on year. Which is why you finished a point beneath us in your first season at this level and thirteen points behind us this season.

Fair enough, I totally agree with you: trajectories are the important thing in football, not trophies, or time spent in the top flight. On an unrelated note, here's a picture of 95-year-old Prince Philip, taken in the same year Morton last won a proper trophy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you're not agreeing with me, because I didn't actually state that. You're in fact agreeing with NorthBank and the poster above. It's just a shame then that none of you understand what 'trajectory' means, or simply can't cope with the fact that Saint Mirren's current trajectory points only to further, abject failure. So hardly the clincher that's going to keep your mercenary boss from knocking back an offer from a bigger top-flight club then. Safe to say that this has turned into an absolute disaster for you.
