RossBFaeDundee Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Is this the worst 3 game unbeaten streak we've ever been on? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D TOTAL Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Can we not look a wee bit further than tayside or Perth and Kinross for a manager or am I being stupid?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girth Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 That match was so depressing. Will McPake be given until Christmas? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) If we'd lost 3-1, things might've changed. Not now though. Onto Tuesday against Cove Rangers, who the f**k is going to pay for that? Edited November 6, 2020 by RossBFaeDundee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LM_0803 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Would take TW in a heartbeat. I know it's all hypothetical, but the way you lot are talking, it's as if dundee have sacked him. As if dundee have chosen the right thing to do instead of the ignorant [emoji23]. Can't see them sacking him, unless we continually fail to win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LM_0803 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Oh and McPake and Nelms out. Nelms underperformed for years with his managerial appointments and has gone under the radar in terms of criticism it seems. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a proven quality manager for our position though and whilst it's easy to play down, gave us a club to be proud of (other than the period you mention) and has the potential to do it again IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just not f**k about for once.Why would Hartley return even if we sacked McPake and approached him again?Not saying he wouldn't if we did, or posing the question to you in particular. Just wondering what his rationale would be to come back. Sense of unfinished business maybe? When he first game in he did well getting promotion and top 6, but the club and team got worse every season after that. Wasn't just down to him obviously, and it didnt help when those above sold stewart and hemmings for 750k.[emoji2369] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember an interview just after he'd turned Cardiff down at his peak with us in which he stated he'd never been happier at a club than ourselves, had no plans to leave loved it and then name checked the likes of Brian Scrimgeour as being his best mate (Because of Dundee). He bought into the club big time - who knows if that feeling still holds? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, we had some good times with Hartley but Stewart and Hemmings covered up a lot of cracks for him. Look forward, not back. I mean he is hardly Scott or Duffy. I think we should give WGS (if he wants it) on a interim basis and have him assist in a proper manager search, no trainees. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad enough getting hammered by the Old firm and united, even the 4-0 from the farmers was bad but the 7-0 was the worst. Surprised Celtic signed scott bain after that performance among all the others. Easy to remember the bad times yet he was the manager to get us legitimately promoted for the first time since Jocky Scott in 1999. He was the manager for the team that was responsible for getting us our highest finish since Jocky in 2000. He was the manager that led the team to shutting the Derry by shutting up United. And he was also the manager that led us to the Doon Derby. These are hardly crowning achievements that outsiders looking in can easily say are shite, but no other manager for quite a good while before or since can claim to some of the stuff he has. And whilst Hartley will get tagged with the original 6-2 and the 0-7 vs Aberdeen, it's not like we've been short of a few hiding before then or since.

Indeed, but it was Hartley that signed them two to cover those cracks. If only a manager could cover cracks like that since Jocky in the late 90s! I agree, he's hardly Scott or Duffy and I think you know my feelings on them! I'd go for WGS in a heartbeat. He was trending on Twitter in regards to Celtic yesterday but as I argued then, he's apparently considers himself retired from management and has the ultimate passion project with zero pressure on him and gets to spend the weekend with the grandkids - why would he want to ruin his legacy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
