What's the P&B protocol about moving the Dundee threads to the Premiership section?

We're in here until GTF day which is usually the last Sunday in May, I know this because we've done it a few times.

It's around the first Celtic match thread which runs to 57 pages after we've been battered 6-0 and they are raging about something, everything, the injustices of anything that we start to pine for the Championship forum again. 

A lot less roasters per team in here.

I hope our list isn't as sad as this.

There will be one less to choose from.

Go ugly early and all that.

I'll make a point of it.

On the plus side, it looks like Bowyer is getting the Blackpool job which makes Nelms' actions yesterday considerably more palatable even if still petty and tasteless.

It does sound that way from reports but there are always two sides to a story and we're unlikely to get both, or even one in full.

I liked Bowyer but if they weren't really speaking it was done.

About as much chance as you becoming a reasonable, well balanced and functional part of society.

Thanks for that, it's not often I get praise.

How about Ally McCoist? He led Sevco to successive promotions despite having one of the lowest budgets in either league.

Grant McCann had been touted by a few fans but that's him off the market now:

He'll jump ship from Donny again the minute a higher division club flash their knickers at him.

It seems that is not the case.

Possibly, but not necessarily.

When Bowyer was appointed by us, in his interview to the press he said he was approached and agreed a deal on the Friday and the press conference was on the Wednesday.

I'd expect him to be aggressively pursuing that job now that he's unemployed and I'd expect Blackpool to be that little bit more interested now they don't have to pay any compensation (not that that'd be a huge issue either way).

In saying that though, the Blackpool Gazette (their version of the Courier) are saying there's been no contact so far and went as far as saying he's not even under consideration.

"Dundees next permanent manager " !!!!. He might not be that permanent the way things happen at Dens.

I’d rather have Nelms as player manager.
