Ludo*1 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Neil McCann was a dreadful manager and is up there with the worst we've ever had along with his 2 successors. Absolutely laughable to suggest otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't suggest anything at all, rather you outright mocked from the outset and by any measure, that is a look that is very far from flattering. Ah so we are just making things up now.

SandyCromarty Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) We've had players coming to us who have failed miserably elsewhere yet managed to turn their career around and move on. Could this be what we are seeing with McCann as manager? or are the last two wins a flash in the pan? It's debatable and time will tell.

Are you worried he might turn into a success? We do have a good habit of turning other club's dross into much-in-demand, though we are still waiting on that big offer from either Dundee Utd or Ross County for Brad McKay. Jury is out for me on McCann, but if he gets us into the playoffs end of season after the struggles we've been through, he'll have done a good job. If he gets us finishing 5th he will have done a good job. I think the playoffs are too far away from us now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Dundee fans have a weird hard on for us because we employ Scot Gardiner. Adding McCann and Dodds in to the mix will send them spiralling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I hear Thug Adams has applied for the Aberdeen job, then again Sven Goran Eriksson has had his name put forward for the job along with many others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, I'd want McCann to do well as I loved him as a player and he gave me some very special memories. I won't have people just rewriting history of his time at Dens though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the ills of what has been a club used to turmoil cannot be laid at the door of one man. I think it's generally accepted that his tenure led to the 'downfall' of Dundee over the last few seasons. We certainly weren't in an unsaveable situation when he left and that's why McIntyre is worse but he started the process. He signed players he'd never watched and forced a style of football on them that even when plainly clear it wasn't going to work. For every Jack Hendry & Glenn Kamara there was paying £100k for Jack Hamilton, Sofien Moussa, Simon Murray replacing Scott Allan etc. He couldn't keep the squad together and fell out with numerous players. Scott Bain, Julen Extebeguren and Kevin Holt all publicly had a go at him when he was eventually punted. He led us into a season where we had serious ambitions of a top 6 finish and certainly was given a very sizeable budget to achieve that goal and ended up with 7 defeats out of 8. His spell at Dens can't be described as anything but a disaster and only the fact that Jim McIntyre decided to ramp it up to 10 after McCann left is the saving grace for him. On the positive side, he absolutely owned Tommy Wright, publicly which was nice to see. He let no-one take the piss out of the club (off the pitch at least) and there was something to be admired about his stubbornness of imprinting a football 'identity' on the club. I love Neil McCann and hope he does brilliantly for you (not at our expense though) less so with Gardiner and Dodds involved granted, but Dundee fans would only ever be well wishing towards McCann and realistic about his tenure at Dens. If he has the wherewithal to realise what his downfall at Dens was then he has a great chance of being a success as he's a born winner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't take responsibility for what you write when queried and then there's deflection and insults when politely asked to explain. This isn't N5 English m8. There's no deflection, it's abundantly obvious what I was referring to. If you can't keep up, I'm not dumbing it down for you, apologies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as well there is a club like Inverness that can give a manager who might have potential a good platform to impress and add some positives to his CV within the short time he is helping us out. Most managers fail at some point in their careers, even the best of them. You've clearly not read anything I've posted as I pretty much covered all that in my response to Sophia. If you're desperate to have the last word, have at it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just going to come on the thread to mention him. I noticed he hasn't been in the squad for a while again. I assume he's injured again. Surely we've got to release him in the summer - he's been at the club for over a year now and only played a couple of games in all that time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
