Can we trust Nelms to bring in a good enough manager to keep us in The Championship never mind the The Premiership next season though?

I'm going to say no we can't - root out the real cause of our situation for me.

I put a fair share of blame at Nelms door. The buck stops at the top. Recruitment of managers and players on the whole has been awful since Hemmings and Stewart left. Player/ manager relationships have been poor and comms from the club has not helped. We hired a Comms guy but it appears that is technical comms not customer comms.....the really important ones.

We now have the worst home league record in Britain after today. Pretty grim when you consider we also lost twice at home to lower league opposition.

Worst season ever though is surely 2005/06 under Kerno. We won six league games between Duffy leaving in August and the end of the season. Three of the six were against Brechin and one was against Stranraer. Desperate times.

What really worries me is, how many customers would be willing to return to Dens next season after we have been relegated??? Nelms pricing structure at Dens, for yet another season has been another disaster, supporters paying stupid money, to watch a so called football team, that's record at home the last THREE seasons, has been turning Customers away, in their Droves, yet this Buffoon, receives, one on the largest yearly salaries in the City of Dundee. Let's hope Tim Keyes, doesn't throw the towel in, because, Nelms is totally out of his depth, he hasn't a clue how to run a Football Club.

Kearno season a "low point" but this season  is shaping up to beat it!!!  A BOD more interested in out of town "developments" than the football club,falling crowds,an awful product on the park etc etc etc.

Ive been gutted over the years since the 75 relegation but this season has been The Pits!

Should never have been in charge. Lose the next three, he shouldn't even get the split.

Personally I think that's harsh. McIntyre inherited the worst (Premiership) squad of players I have seen at Dundee in my 28 years supporting them.

While I understand he was backed in January, the winter window is notoriously difficult for bringing in one or two good players - let alone a whole new team! 

I think we need to stick with him till end of season, pray we can scrap ourselves to safety (possibly via the play offs) and then rip it up and start again for next season. 

A lot of the squad are on loan so we'll be in a position for yet another rebuild, I think he deserves the chance to be the man to do that.

[WeighorstsWang 4,051]

I wouldn't be too pleased giving yet more money to a chequebook manager to build yet another squad.

in the end though, it's  not my call.

I think I was one of the ones who warmly welcomed JM when he came along.

Partly,  because I liked his uncomplicated, straight-forward approach, as well as

his general all-round experience. Now sadly there are doubts starting to creep in.

Hopefully these doubts are unfounded I'm certainly sh*t at picking managers

The best available from those who showed an interest and were interviewed for the position. 

Or Billy Dodds.

It's entirely accurate to call McIntyre a chequebook manager. However, so were McCann and Hartley. In terms of recruitment 'strategy'. there's basically no difference between the three of them.

Rip it up every window and start again.

Di Canio - would lift the players and fans , did a great job at Swindon

Said it before , i`ll say it again JM should not be at Dens next season regardless of how we end up
