Rhys Weston still employed just

Ex-Cardiff City player Rhys Weston must have ate his cold porridge wondering what the day would hold for the club he joined in the summer. He joined crisis hit Dundee who have according to the clubs administrator has only 50% chance of survival.

Weston was at the City from November 2000 until July 2006 playing just over 200 games, scoring twice before moving on to Norway (Viking FK) for a short while before returning to Notts County. The English born player while at Cardiff become a Welsh international playing under 21’s games before receiving seven senior cups for Wales.

Yesterday manager Gordon Chisholm and his assistant Billy Dodds plus nine players redundant and the future of Chisholm loan players look bleak. The administrator told interested parties the club have only had enough funds to operate until Christmas and would fold unless fresh investment is found.

The Scottish club face a trip to Scottish First Division game with Stirling, the game is still on but only if they turn up with a team. Weston will not have to take a cut

Weston speaking to the Dundee Courier said,

"It has taken me two years to find a club in Scotland and now this is happening.

"My wife Kaye and son Connor have been living here for the past couple of years while I was at Walsall.

"I have been trying to get up the road to be with them and I finally get a club, then this. It is not done and dusted yet, and we will wait and see what happens, but it is not good.

"It is difficult — not just for us as players but the office staff and everyone else as well. We are all in the same boat and the uncertainty is the worst thing. These things happen in life but it is hard when you don't know what is going on.

"When I came here we were promotion favourites and everything was rosy, but next thing you know we are staring down the barrel of a gun.

"We probably know just as much as you (the media) but the general consensus is it is not good.

"We came close to this sort of thing at Cardiff when I was there between Sam Hamann and Peter Ridsdale, but thankfully it never came to this.

"It is a horrible thing to go through but at least we only have another day to wait before we find out what the future holds."

"The manager and Doddsy have been great.

"They have had an impossible job in the last few weeks but they have kept the boys together.

"They have told us as much as they know and made sure everyone is kept up to date.

"But nobody has really known what's going on, so what they have been able to say has been limited. I feel sorry for them because they have done their best in really difficult circumstances.

"There is a game on Saturday and we have to honour our fixtures. Irrespective of who is still here and who is not, there will be a Dundee team on the pitch.""This club is facing the most difficult fight of its life," said Jackson, who has overseen similar situations at Clydebank and Motherwell.

"We must get money in before Christmas. If I had to guess, I would say there's a 50-50 chance of survival."
