# 2010–11 Dundee F.C. season

The 2010–11 season was Dundee's 6th consecutive season in the Scottish First Division after being relegated from the SPL in 2005.

## Season summary

Dundee had an average start to the season, but results dramatically improved despite going into administration culminating in the release of their manager Gordon Chisholm, his assistant Billy Dodds, and nine players. As a result of going into administration on 1 November 2010, the Dee were given a 25-point deduction as punishment. After the punishment was imposed, Dundee were left bottom of the First Division table with -11 points, 20 points behind the second-bottom team. Dundee went on a 23 match undefeated streak avoiding relegating & ending the season in mid table (6th).
