In an even bigger exclusive, I can reveal I have been approached about the Leeds job. Someon at work asked me who I thought would get it. I said I didn’t know, but no doubt they’d link O’Neill and McLeish to it.

I have an exclusive that I can guarantee has never been published on the internet before. I cannot reveal my sources, but I can reveal that my brother, SM, is, or at least once was, a silly little prat. I have tapes to prove it.

I have another exclusive.
Some of the details however I am forbidden from publishing due to an injunction being passed.
I have been told that a certain member of a particularly high profile family may or may not have taken part in certain acts that may or may not comprimise their public reputation.

You mean the scurrilous rumour that Jim Royle once had a job?
Or the one about Bart Simpson being a girl?

Fairly unrelated, but I wanted to comment on this. A few players here jump out. Nemsadze will surely not spend to long without a club. Wouldn’t ming seeing him a blue jersey, but I bet his agents fone has been red hot. Caballero also shouldn’t go too long without home. And Langfield was linked to Rangers consistently at one point.
Can’t help but feel that if the transfer window didn’t prevent it, the administrators would simply publish a giveaway price list with a few here. Stupid system, this just shows how it doesn’t work. As it is, I expect that Rae, Wilkie, Novo and a couple of others are only still there because Duffy’s promised Dundee will get their wages back and more in January.

hmm, it would be a shame if they were to go to the wall, but i was led to believe that players like Cannigia and Ravanelli were bringing in huge amounts in merchandising so it makes me wonder just where they’re losing ?100k a week

Caniggia did, I believe, make money. But he left 2 1/2 years ago. Ravanelli didn’t have time to make money, but wouldn’t have anyway.
The plan was to sign lots of highly paid players, with someting to prove. Dundee would act as a shop window for these players, who would see Dundee as a stepping stone to bigger things. Whilst there they would help Dundee to start winning. They would then move on at a profit, which would re-pay their wages in the process. Because these players had moved onto bigger things, replacing them wouldn’t be a problem.
It’s a plan that was based on two things.
1) having the ability to scout out consistently players with the ability but not (yet) the track record to attract big clubs
2) the transfer market remaining solvent
1) - they fell down on consistent. For every Caniggia, Caballero, Novo or Douglas, there were three or four others who were very forgettable but cost Dundee money. Plus the likes of Sara, Speroni Hernandez and Artero, who were not quite good enough
2) It didn’t. Caballero, Nemsadze, Rae are proof of that. As is the bank balance of every club bar Man U.
