| Bennett is a close friend of BBC pundit Billy Dodds and Queen of the South manager Gordon Chisholm, a pair he worked with at Dundee United, and a report has named Dodd as the new boss if he moves in at Dens.
That, coming the day before a game, has not impressed Dundee, but, today, they were getting on with preparations for tomorrow’s clash with Livingston.
“Top play joint second here and, by the end of the afternoon, we could be top of the First Division — there is nothing else I need to be thinking about today,” said a relaxed Alex Rae.
Chief executive Dave MacKinnon, meanwhile, was quick to give his backing to the incumbent team boss.
“We have three big games coming up against Livingston, St Johnstone and Partick, and we are confident about them and concentrating on nothing else.
“The timing isn’t great, but we can’t help it if people are going to speculate about things that have not happened.
“Earlier this year, I read Spanish business men were taking us over, with Joe Miller and Peter Grant becoming the management team — I put this story in the same bracket as that.”
While there have been no fresh talks with Bennett this week, he could still be in control within the next month or so. |
