Any half decent manager should ensure that Dundee U skoosh this league unfortunately. Unless they buy the league in January, I don't think McKinnon has built a team that could skoosh this league. I've just read Pressley is an outside contender....please please and please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have a single decent centre half and the boy Nkoi wouldn't get a game for camelon juniors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking of buying......Jim Mcintyre bought Ross County out of relegation when we floundered our way down into the Championship....I really hope (if he gets the DU job) he can't buy the Championship this year.

I don't think they have the cash flow to do so, the Robertson money coming in is over 2 or 3 year, they made massive losses last year and although they have cut the cloth in playing staff, the crowds generated this season surely can't be cost effective to what they have cut the cloth to. Tho, they may take a leaf out their neighbours and spend what they dont have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Rae's legacy inherited by JR was a truly stinky shitty stick. No ill will intended to you personally Mr Dust (or to Falkirk FC) but IMO Paul Hartley is a donkey's penis who will ultimately turn out to be a bad choice as a manager. Bump. Counter argument ?

Optimism retained Mr D ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
