Brashy's Boots Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Imagine my excitement logging in and seeing us top of the championship forum! Unfortunately when I get here we're no further forward. Any time pressed organisation will be shortlisting as they go, and not waiting until closing time to do so. There's no good reason contacts couldn't be made so that we're ready to interview yesterday and today, and for all we know, we have been. No informed press speculation eg Alan Temple adds to the anticipation. I for one am quite moist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRFC_Liam Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Hoping Dundee take from the frontrunners Ross, Charlie Adam or Darren O’Dea. because if they get KT then we’re in for a tough ride because we will get someone like McPake or Fox both let’s be real ain’t good enough as proven. As stated this could be worrying times for supporters 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 We've only just started shortlisting, so there'll probably be at least a week before we focus in on anyone. I'd say KT will be a clear candidate as it would make sense considering if the club insists on giving Gordon Strachan an increased role, but everything is little more than rumours. Aside from Gavin Strachan, which has been total rubbish from the start caused by one troll on the Dundee forum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the KT thing is one of those where papers/journos go, there’s a job available let’s link him to it, like they do with Hughes, but now they’re doing it with KT like you say just rumours at this stage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Briggs Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 25 minutes ago, Been going too long said: This is true mate but imo we let Mcglynn leave no matter what they say officially and kinda hoped we had a plan to replace him Wasn't McGlynn out of contract at the end of the season? If so, the only way the club could have kept McGlynn was to offer a better deal than Falkirk's. But it's very hard to keep a manager who is determined to leave. Even if the club has a contingency plan to replace a manager, the timing of his departure can screw it up. If you want to keep a player or manager, it's risky to let him to enter the last few months of his contract. On the other hand, terminating contracts early is expensive. Getting rid of Caldwell and his dud signings (and Archie's) probably cost us a small fortune. Archie was on gardening leave during Caldwell's tenure. Your Board has some tough decisions to make over the next week or so and it would be foolish to rush them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumswall Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 If we appointed Ferguson I think I'd be done completely with football. I'd say I'd be shocked if he had been interviewed but with our board, anythings possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
