kumnio Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Anyone would be better than the gypo. Paterson who is assistant at Patrick is being spoke about, apparently loads of bets were placed on him yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Jim Duffy? His experience in the lower division might come in handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewolf_1980 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I always felt that Bomber was tarnished by his overt Rangersness while at Dundee and that his results weren't all that bad. Not surprised about Hartley though. Losing at home to Accies is pretty difficult to achieve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Bomber was not popular because he was a borderline Neanderthal who struggled to construct a sentence. His whaaaars the deeeeds nonsense should have ensured he never worked in the game again, he was only employed because our chief executive was his mate, it wasn't based on any managerial ability.

But his results were decent, were they not? Alex Ferguson struggled to construct a sentence but he did alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 No, results were not decent. He also replaced a very popular figure, it was a stupid decision to sack Smith, and a ridiculous decision to hire Brown. Half the fans were vehemently against him from the start.

Ally Bongo Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 A massive gamble for Dundee but i can see the thinking. It looked as if Hartley was out of ideas with the squad he has and possibly someone else can inspire some fight for the next 6 games Did the club not sell two of Hartley's best players/strikers though or is that a myth ?

I read this morning that Greg Stewart is still Dundee's top scorer this season. Not sure how true it is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win percentages as Dundee manager: Alex Rae 43.30% Very popular Barry Smith 38.24% Bomber 46.15% Paul Hartley 33.33% So, with the exception of Gordon Chisholm, whose percentage I couldn't find, Bomber is your most successful manager in the last 10 years. A more ridiculous decision was the one to get rid of him, it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 It's true. We lost Hemmings and Stewart, but they left with over a month to be replaced, and he signed utter donkeys. He forced Harkins out, and again didn't replace him. He signed just under 50 players, most were terrible, he couldn't get a squad that was balanced. Make no mistake, Hartley royally fcked this season up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't a success, and you won't get many fans who were sorry to see the back of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went on a bad run, hadn't won in a few games. He was also arguing with everyone, including players and fans. He had to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamntg Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Brown won the 50/50 draw at East Kilbride a fortnight ago and gave the money back to the club. Irrelevant but true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you suggest, Brown probably wasn't too bothered about winning a pound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanderark14 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 The new Interim boss holds his UEFA Pro Licence and has coaching experience from his time at Dunfermline, he has also has obtained a great knowledge and experience of the game and the current Dens squad through his work with Sky Sports.
