Not surprised that they gave him a deal ( the cup run saved his job), but two years!!! We will be in the same position of not being able to afford to sack him, if we are struggling by Christmas. 

Let's hope he goes on a tactics course before next season, and recruits the correct players to play Hoofball, although I hope that that style of football is done with, most of what was on show last season was brutal.

Well not even end of July and normal service has resumed

Oh dear, dissent already........

The extension of Doddsball should be celebrated and we should all be supporting and behind such a master tactician and proponent of the game. Given his cv of success you can see why the board stuck with the great man after leading us through the worst injury crisis to ever affect any club in the modern era with unwavering confidence in his play and formations refusing to alter in the face of adversity.

This is going to be a roller coaster season and I am delighted we have doddsball to see us through.

 

Hilarious

All three goals came from us giving the ball away in our own half.  Really poor.

I hope that this is just the pre-season affect.

If u look back similar quotes were made in previous seasons . Dodds is one awful coach . How many would come out and say Hell yeah what a great last 2 seasons that was and reward it .Bloody awful the last 2 seasons wake up !!

People are calling for the managers head after the dismal last 4 seasons ! Getting into the Scottish cup final by default is not something you reward after 4 awful seasons ? Maybe an awful lot of fans are missing something??

*2 seasons feels like 4

I suspect people are calling for the manager's head based on a little more than the last 2 games

What do we really expect from the same manager and coaching staff that only saved their jobs last season because of a registration mistake from Queens Park? I fear it's going to be a long hard season if this is the standard that's on offer.

Why do most of the teams that play us look sharper, pass the ball better and close us down, hit us on the break and create more chances? It's down to the coaching and the tactics that are implemented in the game, and Dodds is lacking on all fronts. When we eventually get the ball back our first thought is boot it up the park, just get rid of the hot potato instead of looking up and picking a pass to a teammate, like Airdrie were doing.

I haven't made a prediction yet about what I think our final league position will be, but on our showing so far, I think we will struggle to get into the top half of the league this season, there are a lot of good teams this season, and a lot of them will be stronger this term. I hope I'm proved wrong, but we will need to improve 100% more than we have shown so far. We need a good centre back, another good midfielder and to find a good partner for Billy Mckay. I really can't sit through another season of boring ponderous football 

CEO has that answer I guess

Hi,

Can the trust board please confirm how many season tickets have been sold this new season to date, what is the club’s expected target. If not currently available, what date will it be available. Also obtain from the club the season ticket numbers for the last 10 years.

Many thanks.

As @Satan says maybe it'll look different in the flesh but for, based on the photos, it's an absolutely atrocious kit. I'll give the club the benefit of the doubt and say that releasing it yesterday was merely a coincidence but I have my doubts.

1 Idiot running the club these days we are neither Rangers or United stop mucking about with our club .

I really can't believe the ongoing lack of anything from the club. Surely someone at the club looks at their fans forum, to see what the mood of the support is and to try and give them some positive information at a time when selling season tickets is at its most important. Maybe they do, and they are so far out of touch that they don't care.

I am on a few Facebook sites relating to various football teams, Championship, Highland and North Caledonian leagues, and when I was a boy, I took teams from every Scottish and English and followed how they got on. I still look for their results, and more often than not they have information about their team, pictures and players who've left and who had signed, and even Fort William has a better promotional side than us, a second tier Scottish Championship.

No word about Billy Mckay, no word that I can find that Allardice has left apart from him being paraded on the county page. This is truly turning out to be the worst close season for apathy from the club I can remember. It certainly doesn't bode well for the mood around the club, with the new season rapidly approaching.

Some people seem to have forgotten we just finished in the bottom half of one of the weakest Championship leagues in a long time!

The fact some are trying to spin it as a successful season shows the current level of our ambition!

Well said ! And yet we reward that with a 2 year extension . Some will buy into that . Some won’t 

Just hope the club have his ‘’email ‘’address

The clubs statement reeks of talking around the issue.  Lots of this is the procedure, we know how it should be done etc, but very little about what they actually did.

Legally, they may feel like they've ticked all the boxes, but once again they are found wanting morally and it's another massive blow to ICTFCs reputation.

Funny how club are so quick to respond when they want to . One certainly likes to be heard when he wants to .

What the hell are we thinking here releasing players by email? 

 

I bet Coco the clown never got his 2 year head coach extension by email ! Well done Shane for going public . Show these Dundee mob for what they’re worth . 

Dodds 2 year extension ! What a joke ! Interesting to see how many Don’t renew the season ticket .

Yes 

Sooner the bloody better enough of this crap and dribble of excuses week in week out . Only in cup by default. And this is him with his boys back. Hopeless ,utter hopeless.

Board  are just playing the fans for fools .But fans are way bigger than they appreciate and will be around long after they have gone which hopefully  is very soon and not just Dodds .

Absolutely awful display yet again coached by this clown of all clowns . Club slipping further each week from playoffs not helped by a poor inadequate board that seem happy to just sit and watch the backwards transformation of the club . Less placed in the league = less money at the end of the season. Smart move would have been to have got rid long long ago .( writing was n the wall last season ) And people wonder why the club lacks decent support . Numbers are falling rapidly . Fans are so fed up of all this it’s unbelievable. Massive shake up of the club needed and not just coaching staff . What are certain people at this club been paid for ?? Absolutely embarrassing yet again.

Billy Dodds OUT

Counting the weeks as YES it will eventually happen. Actually think the team would play better football without any manager supposed to that clueless clown in charge .
