rbr 1,256 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I thought you were deducted 10 points?!?!?! For a first offence yes , however this aint their first time and as was stated lessons haven't been learned , they were even signing players only a few weeks ago 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 837 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 25 points is a but much they have no chance of staying up now. Why 25 anyway? Dundee are 1 of the SFL's larger clubs and would be a shame to see them go to the wall, if the structure was set up properly then things like this wouldnt happen. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 That's a terrible decision. The club was already in trouble and taking 25 points off them could practically finish them. 10 or 15 points and they would still have had a shout, but 25 means they're almost certainly going down. Sad days for Dundee FC. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I dont think it is a terrible decision at all. Multiple financial mismanagements - they have no-one to blame but themselves. They knew the rules before they put themselves into this position - further, they were still bringing players in just a few short weeks prior. The game in Scotland is in a terrible financial state ! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Easy enough to say that Craig, but Dundee FC have a bigger support than any of the 1st division clubs who've broken into the SPL in the past few years. They've got a good stadium & good support, so it's sad to see them being practically thrown out of the Scottish game IMO. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the SPL got their finger out and just increased the number in each league and reduced the amount of divisions then good sized clubs like Dunfermline, Dundee, Falkirk and Partick would be in better positions, in fact all clubs could be in a better position. There is no need for 4 divisions. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
