Dundee FC have appointed John Brown as Interim Manager to the end of the season, in a move that shocked myself and a lot of fellow DFC fans. There was angry scenes at Dens Park when the news broke on Saturday at a Question and Answers session with a number of Fans walking out in disgust with some of the statements from the Directors of the club.
I have taken my time to write this and although John Brown would not have been my first choice l have decided to give him a chance to do his job, l watched the Celtic game on Sunday and you could not fault the players in the first half and they matched Celtic in all areas and likely the sending off of Matt Lockwood has cost them the game. But l seen enough from the players that they do work hard and they will have to continue to do this for the rest of the season as they are playing for their futures.
It will be interesting to see if the fans do give the new Manager a chance, l hope so as he was a great player for us in the mid 1980's and if he can get the same passion from some of the better players at the club that will be a good thing.
I would also like to thank Barry Smith for his time as Dundee Manager he done his best and it's a big pity that Football is a results business and sadly managers come and go. I had hoped for a better season and maybe not bringing in a quality creative Midfield and Striker likely cost Barry his job and time to build the club.
So it's time to move on and back the team and the new manager John Brown for the rest of the season, in my time as a DFC supporter l have seen a lot of bad decisions, we must learn to do things better.
