I played youth football with him for a couple of years and don't recall him being a Dee. His friend and his friend's father took him to a few games while he was a kid. He also sold programs so he could get in to watch. Someone posted the podcast he said that about a year ago when we were first in for him but I can't find it. I don't think he's a Dee, I think he just had an interest in football and because his friends liked Dundee he went too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought wooft that's a new level of pessimism from Utd fans expecting the worst from their managers. You clearly don't pay enough attention to this thread, if you thought that was a new low - give it about a month and a couple of defeats and you'll see some proper negativity... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played youth football with him for a couple of years and don't recall him being a Dee. It comes from Jack Ross himself: Quote One of my near neighbours was a Dundee fan, whose father was a season ticket holder at Dens. We were pals and I played football with him and his little brother, so started to go to games every Saturday with them, more or less. 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.

It is, has no relevance as to whether he's a fan though. Hundreds of players play youth football for a team from an other town than they are from. Doesn't translate that they would be a supporter. He might be, but the "he's a Dundee fan" I've not seen until he was linked to the job at Dens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did wonder how he was a fan. Easy to see how a fan might not manage a club they support though. Might think with the heart not the head, take things too personally & put themselves under too much stress. Some may be the opposite l, but easy to see why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I think ultimately budding managers have to become detached from having a 'team' as they'll have a new job every few years and need to be fully invested in the club they're at. It'll be good for Agent Ross patter if it all goes wrong but ultimately there's very little relevance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gannonball Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) Can’t help but think the whole relocating thing was a bit of a white lie if said from him. Probably found that Strachan would have been nightmare to work under and didn’t have the heart to say so.

Wouldn't he have plundered all the players he could - and the physio, and the kitman and the folks manning the pie stalls - from his time at St Mirren? He'll be gutting Hibs for players now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was something mentioned frequently on dee sites when he was supposedly in the running for the job in the past - I'm not sure how much of a Dee he actually is/was t.b.h. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardy83 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Hecky signed MM for us. Heckinbottom was sacked at the start of November, Eddie May took caretaker charge until end of month. McNulty didn't sign until January window 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did wonder about Jay Henderson - he twatted in a couple of screamers against United last season - but Ross likes a wide player who can really carry games (Martin Boyle, Lewis Morgan) and I don't think Henderson is there yet. Plus, United would have to show us the money, and I reckon Jim Goodwin would fancy him too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabianKnight Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Can't see United signing McGinn when we've got 3 players who can comfortably play RB/RWB. Almost a nap that Gogic and Doidge will come our way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
