Surely be a fee involved since he is under contract ? I'm sure we will be happy to pay whatever they want.... -

If this turns out to be true, then we know he will score in at least 4 games next season... -

Am starting to worry that, especially with most of the lower league teams finished for the season and potentially starting to look at signing/releasing players, we will miss out on some decent prospects, as there is no-one in charge. For example, with Kris Doolan being let go by Patrick, he could find a new club before we even have a manager in place who might have wanted to sign him. (Not necessarily saying we should be going after him, but he was the most high-profile player I heard of being released over the last few days.) -
Dundee vs St. Mirren
Spikethedee replied to djchapsticks's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Knowing us, St Mirren will win tonight, then we'll beat them so they finish 11th and Utd gub them in the playoffs. Still, Kenny Miller might be manager by then ... -

Dundee FC Board prove that they precisely the kind of people to take decisive action, two months after a crisis.... Better late than never, will hopefully see a bump in season ticket sales (at least until they announce the next hopelessly underwhelming manager) if nothing else. -

What the hell, I've had far too much beer. How about this: GK Schenk RB Horsfield CB Dyer CB A Boyle LB Meggatt MF Woods MF Williams MF Klok FW Wolters FW C Curran FW Duffy What a choice - watch this team, or have your fingernails pulled out with rusty pliers... Moussa doesn't even get a look in!! -

Phil Roberts indeed. That was, by far, his best game for us - gave the green bigots a torrid time, but never ever showed anything close to that ever again. Just for laughs, how bad would a "worst XI of our recent top-flight spell" be?? It's too depressing to even start and type it out... -
They'd probably fvck that up as well....

A hell of a lot better than Woods. That should be enough.... -
Players over £100,000
Spikethedee replied to Dindeleux's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
If that figure is correct, then that is absolutely ridiculous and Levein should have been punted immediately, sentenced to 12 years in jail and given a lifetime ban from football. -
Players over £100,000
Spikethedee replied to Dindeleux's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Anyone brave enough to try and guess exactly how much we spent on the likes of Caballero, Sara etc after all the "dodgy" agent's fees and third-party shenanigans were taken out of the equation?? Griffiths definitely and Harkins probably, were our last £100k+ players, I would imagine. Please don't say that we spent as much as that on Jack Hamilton.... -
Dundee to have more corners than fans in attendance on Saturday. None of these corners will get past the first defender...

Serious Question: I know it's about as likely as Boris Johnston not sounding like a twat when he speaks or Boredomguy making a valid point, but if, by some miracle, we win our last three games of the season (unlikely, as I said), we would potentially stay up. Would you want that, knowing full well that it would mean the BOD would feel justified in having appointed McIntyre and keep him for next season? Or, is relegation and the potential example of Partick & Falkirk as "big" teams struggling to get back up and even potential further relegation a price worth paying to get him punted?? I would obviously want to see us staying up, but am really worried about what would happen under McIntyre. After four transfer windows with, at most, 5 decent signings, we really need to be hitting 75% success rate over the summer, Can't see McIntyre doing that... -
Dundee's Next Permanent Manager
Spikethedee replied to Ludo*1's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Hopkin, Temuri or Weighorst would get me feeling confident and genuinely looking forward to coming Dens. Goodwin or McPake would be intriguing (ideally with an experienced No 2), McCall wouldn't come. The rest of them would be a bare improvement on the last couple of appointments. (That is, I believe, the very definition of damning with faint praise.) -

Have just sent this to jnelms@dundeefc.co.uk Dear Mr Nelms, It is with a heavy heart that I find myself in the position of having to write this e-mail. I've been a Dundee fan for as long as I can remember. I've seen us play in cup finals (winning and losing), play in Europe, win promotion and secure tremendous results home and away, sometimes against all the odds. I've also seen relegation, cup exits to lower league teams, thumping defeats at home and away and two administrations. However, I've never been more disheartened and disillusioned with the club than at present. We seem to be drifting aimlessly to relegation, with very little shown on the pitch to give any hope that we may be able to stage any kind of upturn in our playing fortunes. I have to say that the blame for this lies fairly and squarely on the shoulders of the team manager. Mystifying team selections, baffling substitutions (or lack thereof) and post-match interviews that seem to leave us all wondering if he has been watching the same games as the rest of us, all contribute to the all-consuming sense of a doomed inevitability to the remainder of this season. I know that it is easy for fans to say that they would have picked this player or that formation or made that substitution or this tactical change, but I know of absolutely no Dundee fan, from either face-to-face or online contact, who has the slightest bit of confidence in the manager. I'm not saying that I know what I would do differently that would definitely give us a chance, but it has become clear to me that Mr McIntyre absolutely does not have the necessary skills to do this. I take no pleasure in urging someone to be made unemployed, but I can see only positives from relieving him of his duties. Firstly, there is a chance that a new manager/management team would be able to change things up, either personnel-wise or tactics-wise for the final, crucial 4 (or maybe even, hopefully, 6) games of the season. Secondly, a new manager would have some competitive fixtures to assess the playing and coaching set-up for next season, rather than relying exclusively on pre-season friendlies. Conversely, the dangers of not making a change are not just limited to almost certain relegation. There is a very real possibility that I, and no doubt hundreds (or even thousands) of other season ticket holders will not feel that it is worthwhile renewing their ticket for next season. The financial impact will compound the errors of this season and make it more difficult to push for promotion next season. There is also the, in my opinion, very real danger of following the example of Partick Thistle and making a poor start to next season and be more likely to exit the Championship downwards, rather than upwards. The most pressing danger, apart from relegation is that fans will, as I believe has already started, simply lose heart and stop actively following the club, as defeat follows defeat, poor play continues and the air of despondency lingers. I hope that you and the Board of Directors will take the brave step of making a swift, decisive change to give us even the tiniest glimmer of hope for salvaging this season. I have absolutely no doubt that the manager has tried to do what he thought was best for the club, but I believe that tough choices have to be made, and made now. I hope that I can see Dundee FC playing Premiership football next season, and I hope that you agree with me that there is nothing more important at this stage than giving us a fighting chance throughout the next few weeks. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope it gives you an idea as to the deep-rooted love I have for the club and the desire I have to see us maintain our rightful place at Scottish football's top table. Kind Regards, I doubt it'll make a difference, but at least it feels like I'm doing something!! -

Maybe we should be speaking to the Board in terms they will understand: Chances of me renewing season ticket in Prem next season with a new manager - 100% Chances of me renewing season ticket in C'ship next season with a new manager - 75% Chances of me renewing season ticket in Prem next season with McIntyre - 50% Chances of me renewing season ticket in C'ship next season with McIntyre - 0% -

Apparently, it's Jesse Curran. Kerr second, Gowser third. -

To be brutally honest, any team playing with Robson and Woods in central midfield doesn't deserve to be playing top flight football. There's not much in the way of better replacements, though, which is kind of why we are in this mess, I suppose. -
