Shenanigans? Bowyer quoted as saying he’s not heading for our 1968 pre-season friendly opponents (Chalky Whyte sent off ). Rumours of Callum Davidson taking over. Crikey.

The BBC: “Gary Bowyer says he is "saddened" not to get the chance to manage Dundee in the Scottish Premiership.

Bowyer, 51, exited Dens Park on Wednesday, five days after sealing the Championship title in the final match.

The former Blackburn and Salford City boss took charge last June and had been linked with a return to Blackpool.

"I have loved my time at Dundee and was excited at the prospect of breaking into the top six," Bowyer told the League Managers Association.

"I am saddened and disappointed not to have the chance to lead the team in the Scottish Premiership next season. Winning the Championship last Friday was an incredible night and to also be named Championship manager of the season was very humbling.

"I undoubtedly share both achievements with my staff and players who worked hard and showed great skill and determination to achieve promotion at the first time of asking. Thank you for the memories, it's been an unbelievable season. C'mon the Dee."

Bowyer also thanked chairman Tim Keyes and paid tribute to the supporters.

Dundee said on Wednesday they were "grateful" but that "now is the time for certainty as we enter a critical summer".

"Given the importance of the weeks and months ahead, I felt it was necessary to ensure we are all aligned on the direction needed to ensure the club is ready for its return to the Premiership," said managing director John Nelms.

Former Scotland manager Gordon Strachan - Dundee's technical director - will lead the search for a replacement, with former St Johnstone manager Callum Davidson among those rumoured to be in contention.

Bowyer, whose assistant Billy Barr has also left the club, won 17 of his 36 league games in charge and Dundee ultimately won the title by five points after beating nearest rivals Queen's Park 5-3.”

So, asking for too much money to bide, and The Most Successful Team In Tannadice Street looking for a cheaper option?

Owen Coyle quits his job at Queens Park.

Owen Coyle quits his job at Queens Park.

Why the hell they sold Simon Murray mid-season when he scored almost at will last season and this, is a mystery. Maybe that fuucked him off.

They’ve achieved far more this season than might reasonably have been expected, but selling your main striker when in pole position for back-to-back promotions seems like the sort of transfer nonsense we used to have to endure under Charlie Forbes.

[NaeMairNeeps]

Strange right enough ... Ah was rootin' for QP tae 'hud er gan' ... Can only imagine that the offer for Murray was worth the gamble while they were in a strong position ... Nae sure it was the cause o' their late season 'stroop-droop' like, but still, nae the kind o' move an 'ambitious' club resorts tae.

[TheDeeDon]

I believe Murray wanted to go when County bid for him.
Hasn't exactly gone to plan for either him, Queens or County.

Coyle did look a broken man after the Dundee game.

[NaeMairNeeps]

Not surprising ... it was QP's league to lose ... and they lost it ... tragic really.

Callum Davidson has turned down the job at TMSTID.

Ange postegulu or whatever his name is, has surprised nobody by taking on the Spurs job.

No doubt the great unwashed will be up in arms and I just hope they appoint Lennon again.

He's landed the easiest job in football. Six months work, then a multi-million pound pay-off after being sacked because he hasn't won the treble by Christmas.
