Reverend Maynard Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Just to move the discussion in a different direction, I think the issue ST has is around "transparency".- not his ability or not to make himself invisible at will ( god knows how much trouble his alter ego, TBS would get him into ) but the modern trend for people to know exactly how institutions work/ make decisions/ are influenced and of course make and spend their money. It's no bad thing, God knows you'd end up like Hearts otherwise, but I think the expections around this from him ( leave me alone a let me get on with it) and some fans ( tell us how you're spending " our" money you basturd) are why we get theses spats from time to time. Im broadly understanding of his position but maybe a little more transparency would help him in the long run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull My Strings Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I've never been a fan of Thompson particularly. Too whiny for my liking. Quite happy to complain about the strain the club have put on his inheritance family but then clams up and gets all defensive when folk want to continue the conversation. I've always been of a mind that it's his business so it's his business. If it's going well, crack on, you don't need to answer to me, but equally don't come crying when things aren't going so well. Broadly, I expect he should be looking to break even as far as possible so as not to jeopardise the club and if he wants to exhibit largesse that's fine but don't expect sympathy if you don't get your money back.

I was sure I had that boring cunt on ignore. Edit: Ah, I see he's sneaked back under a new account. That would explain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 One of the things that has pissed me off about Thompson is that he went from a guy who always wanted to be quoted in the media to someone who seems very reluctant to be; it was from one extreme to another. Whilst the 'it's his business and he can do what he wants' argument is factually correct, there are IMO obligations that go beyond a normal business. Fans who are loyal to a club deserve to be treated as a bit more than simply 'customers'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alert Mongoose Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 On this merger shite;Would a merged Dundee team be better than either individual team? Probably, yes.Would they be any better than a middling top six team? No.Conclusion. What's the fucking point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraemePaynesSocks Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Another argument against a merger is, would you want to lose your team and its history for a new team that might win something? We'll turn into a football equivalent of New Labour - no principles but might win a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I always suspected that Toshney was a favourite of McKinnon's but having him in the squad twice is OTT. http://dufc.co/the-teams/first-team/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewartyftd1 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Looks like papers now reporting on Templeton. Him and Mcgowan would be good additions and hopefully give us that extra strength in depth we need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No and I don't think there's any basis in the suggestions about McGowan. Templeton is training with the club but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarto Mutiny Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I liked Ryan McGowan, great guy and all that, but he wasn't actually that good, was he? Can't see him coming back anyway, there are plenty of positions which need strengthening ahead of right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
