wullie robb Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Pretty obvious that the Dundee board have sounded out Hartley's replacement before moving to end his reign. Probably announced tomorrow I would imagine. Wonder who it will be ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbycoxblue Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Worried? Not at all. You worried about Morton? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Do you guys think that whoever comes in will have what it takes to lift you out of the playoff place? I suppose that question is also about the squad in relation to those teams just above you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifespud Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Do you guys think that whoever comes in will have what it takes to lift you out of the playoff place? I suppose that question is also about the squad in relation to those teams just above you. It's impossible to know GD but it's fair to say it looked as if all hope had gone with Hartley at the helm. We need a motivator first and foremost given whoever it is will have to work with, and lift (or terrify) the existing squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it happens, the thought of getting you lot in the play-off final makes me moist:) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 The thing I don't understand about McClair is that Nelms was one of the main people against his ideas whilst at the SFA in regards to performance centres etc. We are in desperate need of a motivator (Which admittedly Archie fits the role for) and McClair left the SFA with accusations that he wasn't good at getting his ideas across. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally would have stuck with PH, laws of statistics etc but hey ho he's gone now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I think the squad is good enough as well, with the right 'tactical nous', they have turned in a few good performances this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Spoke to someone earlier who is a big Dundee fan and seems to be good for info. He reckons it might end up being McPake and O'Dea for the remaining games and then a permanent appointment in the summer. It is a funny job for someone to take right now. If this was at the start of the season or at the end and you had finished in 10th then it gives most young, motivated managers a great opportunity to work at a good sized club with good budgets and fanbase. It is a pretty attractive position. Right now though? Too much pressure possibly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I'd be happy with O'Dea/McPake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelms and Knox are apparently quite friendly and speak a lot. Knox has the link to McClair with his Man Utd background which could be how it's happened.I think the role McClair was in was more of a political minefield than an actual footballing task so Nelms may not take much from that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should make the semis at least - Morton's recent form has been worse than ours. Really. Then in the semi against Falkirk, who knows? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
