Marshmallo Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 The league is looking dull as dull can be next season regardless of whoever wins this. Sick of the sight of Queen of the South, Livingston, Dumbarton and Morton. St Mirren and Hamilton are easy to get to for me but are crap away days. Dunfermline, Brechin and Inverness will be some laugh right enough. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wullie robb Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Feck sake Hamilton stay up with a striker called Bingham that wouldn't get a game with a decent junior team.... In fact Hamilton and Dundee United have an abundance of player's that are absolutely horse manure... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Chairman will be overjoyed tonight. Another season he can make an excuse for a lack of investment in the playing squad. I mean how could we ever compete with a massive club like dundee united. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get why folk are saying this type of thing. But I get a feeling that Utd may be playing with a much much smaller budget than this season. Over the course of this season we've had then better performances IMO with the exception of the playoff 2nd leg, 2nd half. It changes nothing though, we still know what's needed for us to progress on this year. We always need to be looking to improve and I think that's where Houston got it all wrong with last seasons transfer dealings - not a single one has improved us as a club. There are no teams in the league who aren't within or grasp to beat with effective work in boosting the squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANEWHOPE Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 So many posts disappointedly accurate in terms of the assessment of what will happen as a result of United staying down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) No matter what their financial situation is we'll still trott out that excuse. Doug will be right on to Houston letting him know that due to Dundee United staying down and brexit we can't increase the budget.

falkirkthebigclub Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 So where will this desired investment come from? We can only work within our means. Granted we should've been better this season but going balls out on some debt trip would only cause problems in the long term. As an example of this, I'll give you: Falkirk Football Club, 2009-present. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is beginning to look and sound like OneF FFS!Since the intro of the play offs the Championship has never been more exciting and I think that whilst they will be a challenge, Dundee U will provide a further four exciting games. St Mirren look like they may be useful, we have a couple of trips to Inverness to look forward to next season and I really look forward to visiting The hedge again after so long.Cheer up FFS, we should be feeling positive about next season as we have a team well capable of challenging for promotion for the third successive season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noones talking about going balls out but it's obvious that we are going to have to loosen the purse strings to get out of this league. We need better quality in and yet we're re-signing the likes of Kerr and offering Baird etc new contracts. We're also being linked to the likes of Stanton and Harris . Is it any wonder that fans aren't exactly overly ecstatic currently about the new season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A long long way off OneF but I agree it has been exciting. However that excitement has for me helped mask serious failings from both the board & the manager. Not exactly clear what shape the team will take but the problem is that there seems to be an acceptance from the board & the manager that play offs constitutes success and there doesn't seem to be a onus to challenge for automatic promotion. I do wish I shared your optimism and hope you are correct but it is the hope that kills you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Our most recent seasons have been a struggle due to less than impressive transfer activity during the close season. Best close season I can remember was the one under McCall. You knew by our signings that the team was going to be exciting to watch and would in all probability win the league. That was what you would really call a total overhaul. Something we badly needed this season but going by recent contract moves we ain't going to get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANEWHOPE Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Just read my post and I think I'll pop over to the United thread to cheer myself up. I imagine they are in full meltdown & I'm sure they will be getting all sorts of helpful & supportive advice from kind souls from other forums.

I remember playing in a tournament on the pitch at Brockville the day McCall was paraded in front of the press. You got assigned a player in your team and played a series of matches. It was fantastic. McCall wandered round shaking people's hands & you could tell it was going to be exciting. Problem with a tournament like that now is I'm not sure many of our current team would be any better than us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened to the likes of Taylor Morgan and Rory boulding . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
