Alan Cousin was a teacher as well as playing in the best Dundee team ever. Ally Donaldson played his finest seasons for Dundee later on in his career after turning part time. I know we are in different times but the dedication that young Lyall has I wouldn't see his fitness levels dropping off that much should he be part time. Add to the fact he would be a student then surely there is some opportunity to join in sessions with the full timers. Can you elaborate on the rumour regarding part time football? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Bliss Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Bowyer’s got a young family and his Mrs is refusing to move up here. His youngest aged 1 I think has been up here once which was only last week. Heard last week because of this, win lose or draw last Friday and he was likely away. Not 100% but not far off it. Cameron does online University work, that’s from a source very close to him. The issue is the length of the contract. We’ve offered him longer than what he wants to sign for. Strachan’s gave him some advice at times because he see’s a similarity in their playing style and obviously physique. Sounds like that was appreciated. Boywer’s done what he was signed up to and had his struggles along the way. I wish him all the very best of luck in the future on whatever he decides and it’s greatly appreciated. We as a club move on and should appoint Neilson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wants to go back down South to be closer to his family and is going to a club with inevitably more money than us I’m not sure what else can be done. If it is because of a dispute in budget between Nelms and him then that is a different matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People won’t like it because of the United connection but he has proven to be a brilliant manager at Premiership level. If we could convince Martindale of a project here that could eventually see us being better than Livingston then I’d love for him to be in with a shout too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hiring Davidson would be the bad decision making. Neilson would be awful. Martindale is very much a good fit where he is who'd struggle to build it again while starting in the top flight. The Bowyer appointment worked so follow that blueprint. Darrell Clarke was one i wanted us to be interested in. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) FFS, we’ve just won the league. Get the feet up and cigars out while we watch everyone else shit themselves in the play-offs/relegation dog-fight, and worry about next season in the summer.

Crawford Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) I went from being very excited about next season to very worried. Bowyer as I've previously said has been the first since Hartley were I have felt like we have had a real manager. He's came up, done the job and now he's potentially away and that leaves us not only needing to fill that space, but the squad that is pretty much all out of contract. Get a jobby and we'll sign a whole squad of jobbies. Edit - The knickers are wet with pish Edited May 8, 2023 by Crawford 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Some of you boys need to calm down. About 6 weeks ago the vast majority of you were typing Bowyer could go. Absolutely no worries if he goes, no worries if he stays. Bowyers they come, they go. Saturday through Sunday, Monday. Monday throught Sunday, yo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peadar BigDinnerO'Driscoll Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Blackpool would be able to offer him twice what we could so think he would go there given the chance otherwise I think he would want to stay and go up against the old firm next year. All depends on the family situation I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/football/dundee-fc/4374061/dundee-boss-gary-bowyer-opens-up-on-tough-times-away-from-family-amid-blackpool-link/ Reads very much like he'll stay if he's well backed. I'm not so much concerned about Blackpool signing him on as I am Nelms deciding he'd rather an absolute yes man type. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
