John Rankin applauds the away support after the 2-1 defeat on Monday night Rankin said: Everything has made an impact over the last 18 months when you look at the things that have gone on both on and off the pitch.Its been a turbulent period. Things have happened we have no control over but thats no excuse. Weve not been good enough. The club needs clarity. I dont know if the chairman is trying to sell or keep a hold of the club but if he is we need a bit of clarity so everyone knows what is happening.Were going to find ourselves in the Championship and that will be a difficult division to get out of. I know that from previous experience. I played in it 10 years ago and it was extremely difficult to get out of then. Its only got stronger since.Whoever comes in, they will find it very difficult. We werent aware of the off-field stuff until the last home game where you could hear the fans outside. The long and short of it is we dont take our chances and we lose too many goals. This is the lowest point of my career. Also See: Dundee Utd fixtures Dundee Utd stats Scottish Prem table Vapormax Trainers Uk .
