Surely be your away kit. Never seen training gear with main sponsors on it that I can remember?

All our macron train gear going back a few seasons now has had main sponsors embroidered badges etc. 

They have also produced pre-season/bounce game kits

Not trying to imply you guys don’t know what you are doing financially in the way that the supporters of the smaller Dundee club are insinuating but as a genuine question do you think your board could be looking at the pot the cash the Conference league brings and are making a serious play for 3rd place?
I think the ECL money could be a help to change the status quo in Scottish football if we can continue get clubs directly into the group stages.
I'd be very surprised if we made the group stages. We'll win one tie, maximum. The final playoff round has the likes of Köln or West Ham. There's no danger we're making it through that without a very favourable draw and lots of luck

Your likely to face a side of Rangers or Celtic type quality in that final leg.

Our aggregate score against Rangers last year was 4-2 defeat W1 D1 L2 so its not mental to think you could scrape a win and a draw.

Celtic was a bit more of a pumping due to our usual once a season collapse to them so 6-2 but still a home and away draw in there.

All that said with a better manager and squad I demand we qualify for the knockouts.

Just to be clear I wasn’t meaning qualify this season, I totally forgot you were even in the playoffs for the Conference this year.

I was more meaning aiming to take over Hearts this year with the hope being that Scotlands coefficient continues to be strong enough for 3rd place to at least be guaranteed ECL group stage qualification.  I think if this was the case and if Hearts, or Dundee Utd/anyone else, could take advantage of this they could create a bit of a gap financially to the rest if they finished 3rd a few years in a row.

To be honest if we aren't I'd be disappointed. Always feel no matter how unlikely, and it is unlikely due to resources, you should aim for 1st as that should mean you get as high as possible. Never feel comfortable seeing folk at clubs saying they are aiming for safety, or top six.

Aberdeen, Hibs and Hearts all have greater resources and should be able to offer more wages, but that doesn't mean they can always put together a greater team. Seen it with ourselves, high wages and shite on the park. Hopefully this season we're putting together a good team.

Would love to have a look at the wage bill for this pantomime.

Thank you.

As we're at least 7 players down from the (slightly bloated) 1st team squad, I'd say it should be less than last season.

Thank you

Finishing fourth, qualifying for Europe, reducing the squad by 15 players whilst signing two guys with 45 caps between them considered a "pantomine" by our admirers from across the street. What exactly constitutes success for these guys? Sadly we may never find out.

Cute that they think signing Fletcher is somehow going to bankrupt us but building a brand new stadium is perfectly feasible for them.

The difference is we have signed Fletcher and their stadium is a fantasy.

Not really, just someone who has read and understood the accounts publicly available for the last few years. I appreciate the losses, understand why they have happened, understand the hit Covid-19 caused to the plan, and know the income is increasing to the club, the transfer fees paid during 21/22 and know it will take a while until a big dent is made in the debt underwritten by Ogren.

No idea, is it more than a Defender TD5 as that's a bugger at the moment.

Wait, Dundee fans aren't actually  privy to the full details of our wage bill?

I for one am shocked.

I think we’re just gonna blow loads of money, win f**k all, ignore any and all bills, bankrupt the club then meet in 10 years at the Whitehall Theatre with a tear in our eye, saying it was the time of our lives..
