I simply posted tonight to see if those who have repeatedly refused to consider McIntyre has been a poor appointment still feel that way and back him for next season. Seems reasonable to me. 2 minutes ago, ExiledLichtie said: What are you on about? Even on a night when Dundee fans should be celebrating the results of their latest bit of financial malpractice, they are still obsessing over one of their ex-managers. How tragic. So I can’t pop in here for a minute or two? I appear to be getting a very hostile reaction here. Just simply seeing if people have changed their mind? 1 minute ago, Tattie36 said: A few of us, me included thought that it was far too early to judge McIntyre during the very early part of his tenure due to the shit show that he inherited. We were an absolute mess when he arrived and we were all willing to at least give him a chance However it’s been far far worse than any of us hoped and I’m pretty sure we’re all united now in thinking that his appointment has been a compete disaster. A very fair assessment I would suggest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think there’s anyone left who’s willing to give him more time. Don’t look at our social media comments then.

It really is mind boggling that he’s still at the club. Yes he inherited a mess but things have arguably got worse the longer he’s been in place, even with all his signings and a full squad to pick from. He came in when we were on our knees with a very clear aim - to stabilise and fight for survival and he’s failed completely. We have gone down with a whimper. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with your assessment, time for him to go. Will not manage to be at the meeting on Wednesday but I hope it is made clear to the Club that they made a mistake and he should go. Everybody can make a mistake but it can take guts to admit it, do so and it will be accepted by the supporters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUAFC Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 What we do need on Wednesday night is the Chairman to front up proceedings, and honestly and frankly explain the direction of travel. Otherwise it's a complete and utter waste of time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timlichtie Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 9 hours ago, Shadow Play said: I came on here a good while back saying that it was a bad appointment and that McIntyre would do nothing to improve the club - especially with regards to the team bonding that is so important. Everyone on here will know who they are but there were regular posters on here that repeatedly refused to acknowledge it was in any way McIntyre’s fault and that he was placed in an impossible situation. I wonder if they will finally acknowledge they were wrong about him? Alternatively I assume they still have faith in him turning this around next season? No faith, but I still think it’s too early to tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That game against Ayr where we lost 3 defenders to injury and left us with 1 defender yet again. Next game away to Ayr we had 1 defender out of of 15 players. Then away to Morton we had 1 defender out of 13 players. Those 3 games was turning point where we started to fall apart. We get through those 3 games with no injuries and got ToB, Walker etc match fitness up (even if we still had the same results) and use the 3 week break to work on overall fitness and squad morale then we would have gone into the rest of the season in a much stronger position. Having ToB fully fit each week would have given us some solidity at the back. Also Delaney, Walker, Hammy too. But we were back to trying to scrape a defence together during Ayr and Morton away. Nothing in the tank and a very weak bench. Squad shape and tactics just fucked. Then the 3 week window we are back trying to nurse players back and bringing in Teale to help the defence. Going into the game v Dunfermline with 6 players just back from injury. hoping to get through 90mins unscathed on that horrendous pitch. ToB gets 90 mins but breaks his hand which rules him out for weeks. From then on we are trying to get players back to match fitness and play better but each week you can see the players heads are down which makes it all the more harder to get results. Rest of this season has just been a slow march to relegation as we have lacked fitness to key players, too many individual errors, not enough quality to win games and team morale lower than a snakes balls. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are they too busy with their heads buried in the sand? It’s gross negligence on their behalf to allow the manager to continue in his role. Saying that these are the same individuals who allowed a staff member to tarnish the entire support with lies about death threats and continue to be employed by the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
