Highland Capital Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) 46 minutes ago, RiG said: Starting to!? I was trying to give the club et al the benefit of the doubt to some degree, though the feeling that Robbo wasn't coming back has been with me since the start. Appointing a new 'interim' assistant certainly suggests though that this is a permanent appointment in everything but name. If it is a permanent appointment, it's not a good one. We're told constantly that the club is skint yet I can only imagine Dodds won't be working for free. Our squad is so small and injury-prone that we could well be going into a relegation dogfight with a team predominantly made up of kids. We need a few new players and we need them now - a lot lot more than we need a new 'interim' assistant...and certainly more than an 'interim' assistant named Billy Dodds.

Ludo*1 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Graham Gartland was McCann's right hand man at Dundee so this might be a partnership of conveniance rather than anything sinister. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) Billy Dodds? Trying to make me actually hate your club. On a serious note, heard Robbo and Kellacher are out for the season. Hope they recover from their situations, sad to hear. Edited March 13, 2021 by RossBFaeDundee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the statement above doesn't explicitly state this but Richard Gordon was reporting that neither will be back this season which is a massive shame. Obviously the main focus is that they both recover but I fear we have seen the last of Robbo at ICT. I hope I'm wrong obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a small, injury-prone squad so if there's anything we need to spend what limited money we have on, it's new players. Even folk on loan or on short term deals. It's entirely possible that we could go into a relegation dogfight having to throw a couple of youths into the starting XI. We need new bodies a lot more than we need an interim Billy Dodds who I can only assume isn't working for free.

My post to Rig asked whether he lived locally. There is a loose connection though. Scot Gardner = Dundee FC = Neil McCann = Billy Dodds = All Sacked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said you did so apologies for your assumption.......just merely stating that being local alone shouldn't be the sole justification or reason to accept its the best of decisions or candidates (some fans however do think it is) ......next up it'll be Bomber Brown heading up the A9 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) Wouldn't be surprised at a Brown appointment as he fits the mould with the other three, having also been sacked at Dundee.

His terms and conditions package is a matter that is for him and the club and not least in terms of gdpr, should be of no concern for others. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no conflicting stories about Brown. Gardiner was in the media for about a week after saying he begged Brown to stay but Brown was having none of it. I mean if you can't trust Scot Gardiner, well, who can you trust?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
