ayrunitedfw Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Gary Bowyer is by a fair distance my 1st choice so would be delighted with that and fair play to the club if they pull it off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rb123 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Not sure if I get the clamour over Bowyer, just pipped QP to the title and played some very average football with Dundee at times making hard work of things. Not sure his style of football would be much different to Bullen and don't think he'd receive big enough backing that he'd be looking for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His job was to win the league. Winning the league is what he did. That it wasn't glamorous is potentially a positive. Of course Hopkin also won the league, but the general consensus appears to be that this was quite literally fraud 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowyer won the league with a squad that largely wasn’t his own and ground out results in big matches. He also united a fan base and from what Dundee fans have said was an excellent man manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost everybody here hated it and wanted him out - even before the disaster of this season unfolded. I’d rather not have any more turgid fitba and have a product that justifies the 3hr round trip and £20 ticket. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were disgustingly bad and should have been a sacking offence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The calls for Bullen to go after finishing second were unjustified and that’s the problem of those on here. I’d far rather win ugly than do whatever the f**k it is we’ve been doing this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern is that for next season, when hopefully we’re in a far better position league wise, we’re not stuck with a manager who will serve up the same dross week in week out and told to lump it cos it gets results. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Binning Bullen after finishing 2nd would have been nuts, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t developing concerns about how we played during his tenure. Those concerns have really blown up this season to the point that no amount of community engagement could cover up a clear lack of progress on the pitch. I’m afraid there are just too many, including the VoR who chose not to see because he was such a likeable guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you can't fire someone for finishing 2nd,and it was less a case of wanting him punted as seeing the writing on the wall and how this season would play out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The football he played after we lost chalmers was absolutely shite and that started around the end of November/early December that started. The only reason second was possible was because we had an ace up our sleeve with dipo and we fluked a last minute winner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely - tiny margins but ultimately a mid table finish was what was expected last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
