Sadly, a few including Giles and Bear have passed.
Was taken on the bus with Drew Moore. Not seen him in years, but, his son and grandsons are regulars ‘up by’ as are Giles’ family.
An upgrade would be a stretch methinks even on Balmer.
I’m against loaning from another in the same league generally, we’d lose the player for 3 possibly 4 games as it stands.
Generalisation for you, an informed opinion from extensive experience from a few levels inside and outside the clubs.
i’d wager I’m not the only one who’d say same.
Back to ins and outs.
Foundations built on sand which were laid under both previous ownerships too come crumbling down.
Losing their ‘elite’ academy status (which many like the Dundee clubs believed to be ill gotten) meant major loss of funding stream to operate. Don’t think the club envisaged that action.
They’re not the first club in recent years to close or pause their academies. Queens Park who are every bit as renowned as Accies ceased their operation this year. Sign of the times?
Unfair on ‘charlatan’ owner who’s no doubt made mistakes in those he’s employed to oversee operations when the known rogue who owns the ground gets a relatively free ride from those boycotting.
Little sympathy for a support who hate us more than they love their own club.
Pragmatism? It’s certainly media savvy and the sensible approach.
What’s to say the signings wished for are not long term goals as much as investing in club infrastructure?
Think we are well placed.
