I think that the main concern for the Dee's is that we would have appeared to have hit our lowest and are now beginning to show signs of recovery ...they on the other hand, are in freefall and will just have to wait to see how far they will fall....pretty much where we have been for the past few seasons.

We are going down as we are the worst team in the league due to the appointment of 2 inept managers,think you lot did the same when mixu got appointed.The problem we have is our benefactor has little to do with the day to day running and his man in charge is failing big time.Nae idea how far we will fall but we have saw it all before im afraid.I,d be quite happy with a team capable of challenging in the pub league next season and maybe getting some young players back in the team.

It’s actually a ridiculous state of affairs isn’t it? Should we fail to get promoted this season, which all joking aside I would put at 50/50 currently, then you are looking at a Premier League next season with Ross County, Hamilton, St Mirren, Livingston and the biggest minter (for the City Of Dundee that is), St Johnstone. On a fraction of the budget and crowds of both our teams, the latter have not only survived but actually thrived. I would suggest the reason for that is off pitch stability, organisation and structure. Every member of that Club’s staff from bottom up are pulling in the same direction. Contrast that with both United and Dundee the last few years. Chucking large amounts of money at a problem only works if your appropriate systems work well. Otherwise you may as well piss it against the wall.

Yup yer spot on,we had the 6th biggest budget in the league and are finishing worst team in the league.

I see what you are saying but don't lump us in with the fun please like we are equal, we are the bigger club simple as that, we had a long sustained period of being up there, 9 years in a row before a sudden drastic fall due to mismanagement, those clubs you mention, not one of them finished above us before our sudden meltdown, we are going to recover whether now or next season

The fun have been a shyte yoyo club for decades and finishing below those clubs is the norm for them, and looking at crowds are getting closer to those clubs by the year (while in the top flight!!)

The city will cope just fine if there is a season with no side in the top flight, it was OK in 1995/96 and I'm sure it was in late 30's and 40's

I hear what you are saying Sheds but the main thrust is that from being a well organised Club, probably from the beginning of Sir Peter’s final season it unravelled at an alarming rate to the stage where (hopefully!) only now, nigh on seven years down the line, is there any semblance of a structure reforming. We don't know for sure how well this will pan out, but even at best, I reckon it will take a good 3-4 seasons before we have genuinely recovered from seven years of incompetence and grossly negligent mismanagement at a boardroom level. Make no mistake, should we manage to get up this year, the hard work is only just beginning. The sad part is that it need never have happened. Thanks very much Mr Thompson.

Both clubs have been losing money and wasting money while the clubs mentioned have performed far better.We have been a yoyo club for decades now just like united were in the lower leagues for decades years ago.United gambled on getting promotion and up till now has failed,you now have like us a yank covering the losses.We have gambled on staying up this season and it has failed.

Look, at the end of the day, I'm doing a job that I love, I'm relegating the Fun and getting paid for it, it's a dream come true if I'm honest.
