Welcome Evo. Are you a Dundee United fan? My roommate's dad from college was Jim Duffy. Know him? He used to be the manager of Dundee before they got relegated.
Nope, not United, I'm a diehard Dundee fan. Jim Duffy managed us twice and got us relegated twice.  :angry: :bang: Although I've got to admit the second time wasn't his fault because we lost all our good players because we we're £22mil in debt (we had players like caniggia and Ravenelli).
Anyway we get getting promoted this season  :thumbsup:

Haha, I remember hearing all about that from his and his family's point of view. You know that he refused to take another paycheck from the club until the club's financial situation improved. The guy did a lot for the team, it was just unfortunate that the club was so far in debt as you said. He was a good guy though... spoke with him and heard him speak to his son a lot.

Yeah alot of players offered to play for free or give back previous pay but the club couldn't do that, felt like doing that would make the club more a charity. We needed to get the high earners out and start with fresh youths. It turned out well, we got quite a few good youths from then.  :cheers:

Did you go to Uni in Dundee?

No, I go to school in the US (Texas). Jim Duffy's son came over here to play on our university's soccer team.

Yeah he was alright... just a freshman like me at that time. We were trying to break into the starting line-up. Throughout the Fall season we usually came off the bench and started some games. In the Spring season, we both started.
