The only other explanation is hes been informed that hes getting no more dosh and the party line from Fat Tony is that "we're happy with the squad, Jack".

Either explanation is pretty worrying imo.

Well, this.

I still have no idea how the recruitment works at Tannadice.

Some transparency on it would be nice.

The first step is solving a problem is recognising that the problem exists. Ross’s failure to admit that we need a DM in the Butcher/Fuchs mould is a glaring failure and calls into question his judgment.

I see this Butcher/Fuchs thing a lot, and while I agree getting a CDM in the door would be no bad thing, we played a fair chunk of last season with neither of them available to us (Fuchs sold in January, Butcher either dropped, suspended or sent to Coventry)

Goodness knows if it is or not, but that is the rumour. Mulgrew,Watt and Clark laughing about at halftime warm up hasn't gone down well with some of the support.

There is something very rotten at the heart.of the playing side of the club at the moment. Never seen so many allegedly professional players, look like they have given up, chucked it and can't be arsed as you see in the park at the moment. No mattter who yout boss is and whether you like him or not professional pride comes into it and you still do your best. Not really finding anyone who fits that bill to be honest. That us not absolving Ross of his mistakes.

There lies a bigger problem.  If you bring in a new manager do you allow Watt and Mulgrew to remain at the club and just pretend it didn’t happen?  Neither player is as good as they appear to think they are.  Again though, it would take a fair bit of money to get them both out the door.

Personally i'm surprised how quickly this has unravelled. You looked pretty decent at home to AZ, and had made some decent signings like Levitt and Fletcher. Most of the players were there last year and finished 4th, and last season were mostly not that easy to break down.

This may be an unpopular opinion, i'd stick with Ross and get rid of the aging players in your squad like Mulgrew and Clark and ones with dubious personalities like Watt.

Mulgrew doesn’t have the legs for midfield anymore.

But you wouldn’t expect a dedicated DM to have to cover huge amounts of ground.  Indeed it’s often a position where players with experienced players with good instincts but lacking fitness often play.

Saw a stat towards the end of last season that we hadn't won a game without Butcher or Fuchs in the team all season.

He played DM against Hearts. Quite a few times last season too.

Dee fans barracking from the galleries knowing they're mid-table championship and they're generally only ever a couple years from another implosion is just my favourite thing about this clusterfuck.

Live for today you mad b*****ds 👍

ETA - Thank you
