Not sure that too many have given up on Europe. We've become used to a prize being dangled in front of our noses then snatched away so it's difficult to get carried away when another piece of prize laden string appears in easy reach. The way I feel about the Europe thing is that it would be a great achievement but I can't get excited about the prospect because of these previous experiences. A bit like tapping off at Fatty's, getting to the door of her flat then being told 'not this week'.
You need to keep the countdown going, it's showing Nelmsy up and eventually even the 'but we owe them so much' mob will start to smell the coffee.
Agree jdfc , I don’t think we would be still here without them , I believe we have a lot to thank them for , and also the longer we stay at Dens the better , I’ve a great seat there just now and I’m really enjoying going up to dens every game now , where as for years I was going up through habit and dreading watching the drivel I was watching almost every week , it’s a long time since I’ve been looking forward to the next game straight after the last one finished , and I thank the yanks for it
'Probably' being the key word.
However, probably someone else would have come in and probably we'd have finished third this season. I can't prove any of that of course but neither can anyone prove that we probably wouldn't be here today if they hadn't come in when they did.
I think we need to show our owners and our fans that we can make a profit if we have a successful season. Cup runs play an important part in earning additional income. Is the pricing of these games something that our club can influence. Times past ST holders got a couple of early games included. Is this possible.
Think we have proved to ourselves that the manager is the key. Throwing money at a manager does not guarantee success, in fact it seems to have the opposite effect.
