fall from grace

Usually all football clubs slip into obscurity over a long timeframe , think of some of the once giants of the game Leeds for example ( I am not equating DUFC with a club of that stature but you get the point ) In 3 short years our club has nosedived alarmingly. I was at the game Saturday and it was obvious to me what was missing was a leader both on and off the park. I am sure Lazlo is a decent guy, tactician and knows the game, however .... he will never have the guile, cuteness and dare I nastiness required to manage in the league we find ourselves in. A John Hughs / one of the Mccalls ( you can choose your own ) type is required pronto. MR Martin and I quote said he would not tolerate failure this season .. do your job mate get rid...

Im a Hibs fan, and there is A LOT of comparisons in what happened to us and you guys.

Sold your best players, replaced them with guff, poor managers etc, slowly slid down.

You know the one thing that I think helped Hibs? They got the fans back on side.

Slowly but surely we seen an upward turn, you somehow need to do the same, get Tannadice packed to rafters for every game, it in turn spurns the team on and gets more finance into the club.

IMO you should walk that division this year, biggest club by a mile, and should have the biggest budget, but IMO you have some average at best players.

You have some good players don't get me wrong, but not enough of them, quality over quantity is the answer, it's what Stubbs done and then Lennon has done with us taking it to another level.

You need stability, especially with the squad of players, not keep changing the whole squad year after year. (which Hibs did for about 4 or 5 starting with Calderwood, then Fenlon, then Butcher.

Ours wasn't able like hibs, you'd been declined for a few years and it had been coming, ours was very swift from being the most consistent team outwith Celtic over the previous 8 years

And as for op, since 1960 relative to Scotland we are easily top 4-6 in the country
