troodee1893 Posted 16 October 2018 Report Share Posted 16 October 2018 1 hour ago, Ricky Spanish said: Given the club explored bringing in an experienced hand to guide NM, would be very surprised if they appoint Miller. I’ll call it now, Alan Archibald. Why would we want to appoint a manager just sacked from a team relegated last season and making heavy weather of the Championship? Same goes for Jim Duffy and Jim McIntyre. On another point I always find it difficult when old players/heroes end up as our manager. It usually ends in tears and takes away from all the good they did as players. Lets hope Neil McCann is still a hero to most of the support a bit like Duffy remains and doesn't end up being thought of in the future as we now think of Billy Dodds for example. I personally think that McCanns exploits as a player first time around and in the Deefiant season will keep him well thought of within the support. Who can ever forget the winning goal v Raith R. In the Deefiant season. It remains one of my many favourite moments watching the Dee. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying I want Archibald, far from it, just hoping we get this one right, probably the most crucial appointment since the Americans took over.

Prince Buster Posted 16 October 2018 Report Share Posted 16 October 2018 Does anyone on this thread really think Dundee FC, with the squad currently at the club, in the league position we find ourselves and with the resources available to it, can rule out any potential manager based solely on the fact that he was relegated with a previous club? And so the delusion starts. We're more likely to get Archibald or McIntyre than Strachan or Moyes as we actually live in the real world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 16 October 2018 Report Share Posted 16 October 2018 If Dodds comes in, Dens will be empty. He voted to kill this club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sad though to read some of the comments suggesting how useless, garbage, rubbish etc. a Manager NM is/was, especially as he saved us from relegation twice but suppose its what we've come to expect on here. Wish him well and I'm sure he'll do okay in whatever he does but will "try" and give this place a rest for a while as I'm not sure I can handle all the inevitable "negatives" that will surely be on here from whoever is appointed as manager. I don't think you are being very fair. I have been appalled by most of our performances this season. Really woeful stuff. McCann has to be responsible ultimately. I would have loved him to have succeeded as manager here but for whatever reason - of which I think there are many - he hasn't. He has discovered some good players for sure and with good management we will prosper. Good luck to him and to Graham Gartland. Sky ought to take Neil back as he is streets ahead of Andy Walker.

While I get the anti-Dodds vibe, there might be a reason why he voted against the settlement knowing that it was going through anyway. I'm not mad keen on Jim McIntyre either with or without Billy Dodds but BD wouldn't be a deal breaker for me if the club went down that route. Let bygones be bygones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A football manager stands or falls by his record; McCann's was woeful and he had to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
