Yeah we are a bigger club than Killie or Motherwell but not by enough to guarantee finishing above them. One bad managerial appointment or player sales can easily see a club like us down there battling relegation.

Not sure what our bigger budget to clubs like that gives us in terms of players, maybe one or two more?

We should have done better the previous 2 seasons as I am sure we spent way more than other Chamionship clubs. Really needed players who were winners tho which we thankfully now have. The improvement on and off the park over the last year has been remarkable. We now have a very professionally run club, even someone like our fitness coach has worked with Scotland and England rugby union teams. From what I have heard our youths coach is also highly regarded. Also seem like Tony Asghar is doing well in bringing in players like Dillon Powers etc

I am personally thoroughly enjoying this season, a unique one in our history. I've seen Utd win the league, beat Barca etc. Has been really amazing watching a striker like Shankland also, need to go back to Peter McKay to find someone with a comparable strike rate.

I also believe we will strenghten in the summer. We have been really lucky to get somene like Mark Ogren on board.

Great time to be an Arab.

P.S. Was very considerate of Dundee to get relegated and join us this season also. Has made it way more enjoyable
One of the very best posts i have ever read on this board,WASC with a FACT.
