D TOTAL Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Despite spending most of his career in the premier league how has Charlie Adam only had 26 caps? Who got in ahead of him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D TOTAL Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 If we’re gonna punt the manager it has to be now to give whoever it is a chance to look at the squad before January few loans probably incoming I’d hope 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him carte blanche, allow him to erase all pictures of McCann within the building and on the Dundee website for all I care. Whatever it takes.

Ludo, with all due respect, I really do get all the concerns on P&B with yet another inexperienced appointment. However, let's truly get Charlie Adam wired into our club. The guys network into the footballing playing market south of the border alone would be priceless. For example, James McPake has played Jordan McGhee in a defensive role for 18 months. However we're now to believe McPake suddenly thinks we could also utilise him as a box-to-box midfielder. Absolute shite, a certain senior 1st team member has grasped McPake's shoulders, spun him around and displayed the kind of knowledge that someone with a footballing brain can see with ease, imho. Anyway, only time will tell if John Nelms has the ability to see and make a 'Sliding Doors' footballing decision for our football club. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Play Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 We stood by McPake when he was injured. In fact we even paid for him to get his badges. If he had even a hint of decency and love for the club he’d be knocking on Nelms’s door to work out an exit strategy that would limit the embarrassment for both of them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our club has gone above and beyond to look after McPake. It’s been evident for a year now it wasn’t going to work but he’s not going to walk away with what’s going on in the world right now. It’s on the club to offer him what he’s due in his contract to relieve him of the manager’s job. Is he always due a year’s salary if he’s sacked because of his rolling contract? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, realistically I know this. Just sticks in your throat when people thinks he loves the club - even citing the fact he pays £20 a month into the 1893 Foundation as an example of his love for the club. He must know he’s out his depth. If not, we are in bigger trouble than we all currently think. As I understand it, yes his rolling contract always has a year to run. It is not a contract that gets assessed at the end of each year (season). Just another example of Nelms giving out over generous terms.

I’d like to think the insurance policy and the 500k grant from the Scottish Government should see us in a position to be able to do this. We’ve been shite this season but right now we easily could’ve been 2nd with today and the Raith game being prime examples of at least 2 of his game changing tactical interventions this season.

johnnydun Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Don't see the point in sacking him, it will just cost us. I've said before, punt him back down to the youths. No need for a pay off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egos would need to be swallowed for that to happen within the club and indeed, within some of our support and therefore it'd never happen! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarbellaDEE Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Nelms must know the discontent within the fan base has peaked now, I agree with the earlier post about the fans not being there keeping him in a job. At what point do the fans get together to voice their disapproval (maybe not literally) as it feels like it’s getting close. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
