Doom & gloom among Dundee support

Doom & gloom among Dundee support

BBC News21-06-2025
We asked for your views on Dundee's Scottish Premiership fixtures and how they will be faring after 10 games.Here's what some of you said:Lammy: Impossible to say until we see the new squad assembled. Anything round about 15 points will be okay.Alister: Sadly, stranded in 12th place. It doesn't really matter how the fixtures land, we are certs going down. All of our better experienced players gone, apart from Simon Murray and Trevor Carson, not near Premiership standard as they proved last season. In 64 years attending Dens, never witnessed such a shambles pre-season.Alan: Dundee have tough opening fixtures. Our squad is much weaker than the one that narrowly avoided the drop last season and we appear to be shopping in the 'bargain basement' in an effort to strengthen. We have no chance of making the top six and will compete with Livingston to avoid automatic relegation.Gary: The games will sort themselves out if we have a squad ready to take them on. At this point it's glaringly obvious there's no depth. Six weeks to flesh out a team, bringing in starters, not project players. Only way you plan for the future properly is by breeding success consistently.

Hated Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri refusing to sell club for less than £100m in another huge blow

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY owner Dejphon Chansiri still wants a staggering £100m for the troubled club. The Owls are still in debt and face signing restrictions with a reduced squad. 1 Wednesday missed player pay days for two consecutive months in June and July. Earlier this month, SunSport reported that Chansiri owes more than £4million in football debts — which will have to be paid by whoever buys the club. The extent of the cash woes emerged during takeover bids by several groups in the prior weeks. Earlier this month it was reported that US businessman Tilman Fertitta was in talks to buy the crisis club. Fertitta, 68, is the US ambassador for Italy and is an ally of Donald Trump. The businessman also owns the Houston Rockets in the NBA. Wednesday manager Danny Rohl initially did not show up for pre season amid the club's woes. The 36-year-old eventually returned but has had to work with a threadbare squad. The Owls beat Mansfield 2-0 in a training ground friendly yesterday. Club stalwarts Barry Bannan and Callum Paterson did not feature, despite having trained with the Owls in recent weeks. Both players have been out of contract since June 30. It remains to be seen whether Wednesday's sorry situation will have improved by their Championship opener against Leicester City on August 10.
