Is there such a thing as a Dundee permanent manager?

Apart from getting Partick relegated from this very division just a few years ago?

I’ve thought for years Jobby would one day be our manager but I suspect now he can no longer live more than 200m from Paesano on the GWR I think the day has passed.
Time to go for some batshit mentalist from South America or Scandinavia.

Who can we even be linked with at this point if Ross, Maloney and Thomo are all out?

In seriousness? The likely candidates  in order of who’d likely take the job IMO.

Gavin Strachan? - cause his da’s leading the hunt for manager.

Barry Smith? - most likely to take the job due to his love for the club, has he learned enough to not rely on passion alone?

Jim Duffy? - might be convinced to go back on his no more full time management if it’s for Dundee but would he risk his health after his recent scares.

Tommy Wright? - can’t see why’d he’s come to us but still more likely than the others springing to mind as he’s not completely hated by us and respected for what he done with St. Johnstone.

Giorgi Nemsadze? I don’t think his record is great as a manager but he is well loved by us enough to give him a chance. Would he come back? Have we asked? He’s probably still in Georgia since living Tbilisi so expensive to tempt him here.

David Hopkin - done well with Livi before leaving and then his stock dropped after poor spells at Bradford, Morton and Ayr maybe more likely than Tommy Wright. Rarely gets mentioned by us.

Steven Pressley - we seem to hate him even though he’s desperate for a job, no thanks never rated him as a coach and manager.

David Martindale - doubt he’d drop a division and is doing a decent job at Livi.

Weighorst? Ketsbaia? Ivano And Dario? - All unlikely especially the first two, Weighorst I doubt would leave his assistant head coach job at Denmark willingly. Ketsbaia has a good job back at Anorthosis Famagusta and Ivano and Dario have a business. 

Honourable mentions - Jocky Scott? Archie Knox?

[Scary Bear]

Booo-urns.

Bring back Jetpack Jocky.

I'd love any of those suggested to be appointed apart from Martindale.

Thank you.

We’d all love the triumphant return of Jocky Scott, again but is he not claiming his pensions now let him enjoy his retirement in peace the last thing he needs is running our shit show again .

[Ludo*1]

If they want to get the fans back on side then Jocky is the only option IMO.

[K.T]

It’s going to be some young unproven person. If Strachan is now top dog and signing the players then can’t imagine any experienced manager will be interested

The cove “vote” list is sure different from ours

[Girth]

Just applied for the Cove job boys. Should I send my CV across to Dens?

Thank you.

They were already on there way down , would’ve took a miracle for them to stay up by the time he took over ,

Those decisions are all held by an editing team too. A group of people sat in a room and said yes to that.

We need a miracle work so I kinda get your thinking.

Quite a few of those candidates are on record as wanting to run things their way, similar to the three who’ve just rejected it for that very reason. Looks like it’s being directed towards Gavin Strachan.
