Why Maloney & Adam may appeal to Dundee
Speculation on who Dundee's next boss will be continues to suggest former Celtic forward Shaun Maloney is the leading contender, with ex-Dens Park midfielder Charlie Adam also in the why would the Dundee board be interested in either of those names? "They are looking for a young, progressive coach," says The Scotman's sports editor Mark is currently working as a set-piece coach at Everton after being sacked by Fleetwood last December following a year in is also a free agent after leaving Wigan in March, lasting 14 months at the club. The ex-Scotland winger previously spent just four months in charge of on the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast, Atkinson said: "Dundee want to get their academy up and running and they want to build a philosophy right through the club. "I think that's why Maloney is of such appeal. He obviously knows [technical director] Gordon Strachan, who is among the hierarchy at Dundee. "Adam would probably fit into that category as well. I think Shaun's got slightly more experience, but Charlie's a massive Dundee man."He also played for the club and I think it would be a real honour for Adam if he was to get that job."

Maloney? Brown? Ketsbaia? Who do Dundee fans want as manager?
A week on from Tony Docherty's sacking, we asked who you would like to get the Dundee manager's what some of you said: Jayeffell: None of the names being mentioned excite me. Even the thought of Charlie Adam returning makes me ponder his time at Fleetwood as being less than successful. Shaun Mahoney failed bad at Hibs. John Kennedy from Celtic perhaps but untested (like Doc) as a boss. An experienced boss with Simon Murray as player/coach. You'd have a team of triers at least if they follow his Scott Brown, he stands no Maloney has been pushed by the media as the front-runner from day one. I don't see that working. I'd like to see Adam in the role. He loves the club, and has been building on his experience since he finished his playing career at Dens. He'd also attract players to the Dundee need an experienced manager, not a roookie! Brown seems a good candidate for the Temuri Ketsbaia has managed at a decent level and would unite the fans but I can't see our board going for it. Maloney or Adam would divide the fanbase massively. Neither seem like an upgrade on Docherty. Thinking we've made a mistake bulleting Doc!Flynn: Personally those names do not excite me that much. I would be looking for Brown as he has got lots of experience from playing in the league and he has done well at Ayr with the resources he has been I think we need someone who'll use the players we've got in the right style of sensible attacking football. There's always names bandied about but after initially being unenthused by Maloney I'm slowly warming to it. I'm sure he's reflected on what he could've done better at Wigan and a pre-season behind him might have a better outcome than he got at Hibs. Ketsbaia might be an outfield shout, he'd have a different style and would want to play attractive football, but even somebody like Brown might be worth a punt, at least he'd give them the fight they I'd give it to Andy Woodman from Bromley. We have to try something different and going for another journeyman Scottish football manager will get us nowhere. And if he's successful he will get a bigger job back in England.
