Alan Murray Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Dundee look very strong in defence and midfield not convinced about the forward line as of yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 with feckin Dungdee!! How do this lot get away with it. Stevie Milne about to sign as well. Because they are a team with little or no debt and are well supported by fans who are motivated to earn money. Get over it and get on with Thistle. How do you know that Jackie was interested in Ryan ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurph Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I think they're trying to sign Armand One too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted June 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) How do they get away with what? Going into admin twice, with miles more debt than us, yet still being able to offer better wages than most other first Div clubs can pay. If I had been owed £5000 by that lot and got £300 in return because of their admin, I would be raging seeing them snap up half decent players that must be on half decent wages. If anyone thinks thats a level playing field, so be it!! Edited June 8, 2011 by Lindau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindau Posted June 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Whats their wage structure like compared to everyone else in the Division? Dunno but with Harkins still there (did he not say Dungdee were paying 3 times what we offered) you can bet they are paying plenty more than us. I see nothing different with the Motherewell senario when they made their players redundant yet still managed to snap Craggs and Burns off us the following season by offering them better wages. I just dont know how these clubs get away with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potty trained Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 ah right cool, because they signed two players, you were just assuming they can offer better wages than most 1st Div teams, you don't actually know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

potty trained Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 £100 charity bet says they are paying better wages than us. Deal? i'm not debating whether they do or not, it's quite possible they do. but the fact is, no one will know, as wage budgets are pretty much confidential information. i mean, dundee could have one of the highest in the division, only because, every other team has cut theirs back by a severe amount. just becuase they have signed 2 players doesn't mean they are big spenders. how are you judging who has the biggest wage budget, only a couple of weeks into pre season?

I take it thats a NO then!! If you think Thistle are paying more than Dungdee in wages you should be marched straight off to the nearest funny farm!

Hanx78 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 are they not one of the best supported teams in the division and probably better supported than some SPL teams? Double if not three times the Jags get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindau Posted June 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 you've lost me again Well no wonder your moniker is Potty Trained....lol Lets leave it at that as its gettin boring. My point was that its annoying to see a team that was in admin last season (and not for the first time) still managing to bring in half decent players while teams like our own, who play by the book cannot even get a sniff at these players. Makes you wonder if it would be in our interests to risk going into admin, clear our debt and start again. Even though I aint being too serious it seems to work for other clubs!!

Norman Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Whats the question??? Dont think we have been in administration before! No, we haven't. We negotiated an agreement with our creditors to pay them a percentage of what was due. Is there any evidence to suggest that the SFL imposed a greater points penalty on Dundee because this was their second administration? Given how well our wage structure has been documented over the years (for example), might the SFL take a suspicious view of us suddenly dispensing with that and soon thereafter entering administration?
