They were never going to survive

Just another victory for "shportin integruty"
Ah well, least you got a couple of derbies to boost your coffers...

That's not really what this article is about PB

But aye, we did. And at the rate we're going we'll end up with 4 derbies this season.

But back on topic - do you not think it's ridiculous that they're thinking about sacking him?

IGIM

Do you want Dundee to stay up? or would you rather they went down again?

It is ridiculous they are thinking about sacking them and just actually proves what I have thought all along- expanding the league will not make it competitive.

You will have the established SPL clubs and then there will be a massive gap and the teams propping up the two or three relegation zones will be teams who just came from the SFL.

Indirectly it is - you said yourself - they shouldn't have been promoted, but they were.

But, I agree it's mental sacking him- pointless, who else are they gonna get? Guardiola?

I say sack him,get a better gaffer in and condemn Utd to relegation instead

Joe - I like the derbies so I'd rather they remained in the SPL.

Henrik, although that might be the case in the short term teams would catch up. I don't think you can hold Dundee up as an example as their situation was unique. County are a better example as they were prepared for promotion and have held their own against most teams, including the current league leaders.

Curly, you're just saying that because you think you've a better chance against us in the cup with him in charge.

sorry Ivan, but it would make my year if Utd got relegated.

Totally stupid to sack the guy.

IGIM

Always wondered that, i dunno if its cause we had too many derbies or because our rivalry is more bitter but i rather they got relegated i know that is a poor thing to say but its how i felt at the time!

Now, however, i wish we had one

PB

It would make my year if you guys got relegated but that isn't possible.

Joe

There's a lot of United fans who never wanted them promoted (even in terms of just winning the league rather than in through the back door) and even some who wanted Dundee to die when they went into administration. I've never felt that way to be honest. In fact I even put a tenner into their collection buckets both times they went into admin.

They should replace him with a manager that's working wonders in the third division...

Gardner Speirs is happy at Queen's

It should be the other team from Dundee changing their manager.

Barry's articles are very good.

Apparently they're going to stand by him.

Commonsense prevails.

You have to feel sorry for the poor little lambs at Dens Park.
Twice within a few years they tried to cheat their way intk the SPL.
Then when they get caught whine about the punishment dished out to them when they were lucky not to be demoted into the third.
Despite not being good enough to win promotion they have the good fortune to be invited in.
So now they moan that they weren't ready for it.
Why didnt they simply refuse promotion and have anothetr go at actually winning the first division.

That would explain our fud voting for them but the other chairman presumeably thought the same.
By the way Green is a bigger fud than our fud..

Craig levine will be the next dundee manager
