Here's where I am

I don't think mcpake is a good manager, can he get better....yes everybody can get better.

Do I think he will now have full backing of the fans, can't see it myself.

Think with Rudden cup tied last night it showed how exposed and limited up front we are and how the window was pretty shocking for us.

Can he keep us up?.......a helluva lot depends on a cple of players staying fit imho....heart says yes, head tells me inglorious failure.

The stadium situation and what the yanks are up to is even more pressing and I'm glad Dfcss and I think DSA are now asking questions and being more realistic at a nightmare scenario of being "homeless" for years or worse potentially unfolding.

Mcpake keeping us up and Nelms being more upfront with what's going on would be a good end to the season .....oh and Scottish cup would be nice.😁

Agree with this Rross. Especially the comments about DFCSS and hopefully DSA. Somehow we need to add more to the way the club is being run. I can't think of another SPFL club that has the same management structure as DFC.

I don’t think the Yanks will answer any questions they don’t want to answer

McPake has made to many mistakes and the transfer window being the latest

Have been thinking about the transfer window. If you were a player being invited to join DFC would you read any social media sources? Would you look a fans forums and what would be your conclusions if you were a player wanting a move or an agent looking fir better prospects for your client.

Money talks with footballers as it does with all employees........knew I was going to work for a **** employer when I went to work in a bank but the filthy Lucca was too good to turn down and I knew it would be my last job and I knew by taking the devil's shilling they would help me spend years on the golf course rather than working .....I think if money is roughly the same you always choose the better in employer (in football terms, decent training facilities, not under threat of relegation, manager pretty safe etc) but money talks.

Maybe players at the end of their careers, mcginn and Adam I'm thinking of are more prepared to overlook the dysfunctional way dfc seem to be run.

A young player wanting coached to fulfill his potential possibly not.

I remember reading that players offered a deal at Dundee FC have previously contacted former Dundee players to find out what it is like playing at Dundee Football Club.

That could be a double edged sword. Think some loan players who have had very poor experiences might have a low opinion.

Darren O’Dea told my wife and I at the Sponsors dinner in October 2018 that he liked playing for Dundee and he liked John Nelms.
Darren also told us that Dundee Football Club gave him his longest contract throughout his playing career.
