In his first season at
Dens Park , Dundee were relegated to the First Division. Although he was appointed club captain, Mann became an increasingly peripheral figure for the "Dark Blues" during the 2006-07 season. He reached an agreement to leave Dens Park and was re-united with former bossSteve Paterson on January 31 2007, after signing with Scottish 2nd Division side Peterhead.Ian McCall once said of Bobby Mann, after missing out on his signing when manager of Dundee United, "Bobby Mann is without a doubt the best distributor of a ball from defence, bar none". This goes to show the high regard some of the top managers in the game have for him.
