Dee Man Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I always find the best way to find out a team's budget is to take a poll on the subject on a football forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakedee Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Are you insinuating that Dundee operate with a lower playing budget than Thistle? If you are am suggesting you are a bit deluded mate.I would reckon if we took a poll on this topic, there would be an overwhelming result indicating Dundee had the bigger budget. If it makes you feel better to mask your teams under achievement based on low budgets etc. Go for itplease quote the post where anyone suggests Dundee have a lower budget than Partick Thistle, Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie McNaught Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Dunfermline seem like a pretty apt comparison. Top flight regulars and European football around the turn of the century before yo-yoing for a bit and eventually slipping down to the third tier like Leicester. Aye, but Leicester managed it without being thieving, cheating b*****ds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Enough of yer shite then. Thank you Saying Dundee have a top 6 budget is such a bizarre thing to get worked up about. Chill out, you weirdo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 It would certainly be a sensation if Dunfermline won the Premiership next season... And the midden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennysmassiveego Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 To answer the question .....a team playing in blue and white .... A team that just avoided relegation the previous year (projection required here)....from an eclectic town ......with an eccentric manager ......a team with the letter L in the name ......a team with a scavenging piece of vermin as a mascot ...

HibeeJibee Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 In historical terms we've never seen something like Leicester - no club has ever won our top tier after finishing below 10th. These are only cases below 5th: 1965-66 - Celtic finished 8th the season before 1961-62 - Dundee finished 10th 1954-55 - Aberdeen finished 9th 1953-54 - Celtic finished 8th 1926-27 - Rangers finished 6th 1903-04 - Third Lanark finished 7th 1902-03 - Hibs finished 6th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 What Leicester have done is magnificent. They've had a perfect storm of conditions. Big teams having transitional seasons, a very competitive league with a lie points tally required, luck with injuries to their key players, recruitment going perfectly. A middling English team can now afford the players that, given the right set of circumstances and luck, can see this happen. I think it's possible in Scotland but the likes of Dundee winning it up here would be just as big an achievement relatively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Koop Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 If Celtic make a hash of their new manager appointment and Rangers fail to adapt to the top division, it's not inconceivable that someone else could win the league if they manage to keep their shit together for the whole season. Aberdeen and Hearts would be best placed to do that, obviously. It would take some serious investment in any other team to sustain a title challenge, even against an ineffective Celtic. Aberdeen and Hearts are, in the context of the question asked, more of a Scottish Arsenal or Liverpool. 🤓 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionel hutz Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Aberdeen and Hearts are, in the context of the question asked, more of a Scottish Arsenal or Liverpool. I'd say Hearts were like West Ham. A big club in the capital, that have outgrown their home and are back in the top half of the top flight after having a season in the second tier, mind it was about 3 years ago for West Ham. And they both play in similar colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
