    We are always gonna be needing 5/6 players every year no matter how much we plan.

    I'd suggest a larger turnover every year to be honest.

    One of the few things I disagree with Elvis on.

    He thinks we can keep turnover to a minimum 1 or 2 players every year...... I think that's nigh on impossible.

    It will alienate me if Elvis is under any threat.
    He could've reacted quicker at the first but seemed to be distracted or confused by something. He's not a bad keeper but neither is he great, he's just a Dundee level keeper.

    In all honesty if we stay up he should be given another season as replacing managers each season is as damaging as the numerous loans we use.
    He is nae pep and this season is a typical Dee's season bottom 6 could go Doon.
    That's what divides fans,he has done nothing different than previous managers so fowk that like him will pinpoint his successes while those that done his failures.
    We are where we are as a club and only can hope a wee cup run or a Motherwell season(unlikely).
    For my part that is where I like to see is try and play decent fitba as at least it's good to watch.
    Some prefer win at all costs to finish 7th.
    Hopefully we have some of the youth ready to step in to the squad next season as it's always good for club.
    Hope we survive first tho.

    This is the problem for a lot of people, all we have under this current regime is hope; we get promises and no delivery. Top six budget, new stadium - promises, promises, promises.

    And according to the popular phrase it's the hope that kills you. It's the hope and subsequent realisation that, in reality, we have none that drives people to extremes like lookng for a win at all cost.

    We had some decent youth players, a bit of hope for the future, they got sold on. Luke broke into the first team, he's off after one good season. We have no hope of the better youth players playing for us and improving us in the longer term but that's the nature of a selling club I suppose.

    Well said. It is in the DNA of our club, we cash in quickly because our players are only here as a first step on the ladder. We are a stop on the way, rather than being seen as a place to stay.
    Need to change this mindset,imo.
