Bowyers sacking

[deecom]

Once again, Dundee football club are the laughing stock of Scottish football due to the sacking of manager GARY BOWYER,

Since John Nelms tenure as CEO , its been one forward and two back, and no progress at this club.
Gary Bowyer was given the managers job because he ticked all the right boxes..
His first year in Scottish football, and he wins the league, ok a few bumps on the way, but only to be expected,
He was popular with the majority of the supporters, and respected from fellow managers, plus he was ready to commit to another season with DFC despite family problems, provided he was given certain guarantees for next season.

Were the directors of DFC consulted on the sacking ? i notice no comments from GORDON STRACHAN, but thats only to be expected, as he has a cushy job with a second pension.
Is it an old pals act from Strachan regarding DAVIDSON ? or would Bowyer still be here if Davidson was not available ?

we should be going into the premier league with stability and continuity, thats gone, plus most of the players are not signed
up for next season, how many will we lose ?
What a shambles,
It seems no one connected with DFC are prepared to stand up to JOHN NELMS.

And that includes fans representatives.

First I don’t agree with the sacking, but folk are missing the fact his commitment to Dundee was not what Nelms wants for the club, his family didn’t move up to the area, he himself was only here three day a week most weeks as he traveled home when no midweek games, I don’t blame them for wanting more commitment from him

Seemingly has been appointed new Blackpool manager. Maybe Dundee not so much at fault here. Will we ever know?

The starting point is Nelms is a complete and utter head spinning non footballing bellend.

Maybe he needs a manager who sends abusive texts to players in the early hours and spends a fair amount of time arguing with supporters on twitter and getting embroiled wee effeminate dabs on the Perth rd.

Much more committed.

Reading between lines DFC asked for commitment, as is our right, he couldn’t give it, as is his right, we pulled the trigger, as is our right.

Nelms is only interested in Yes men who will do his bidding and agree with everything that he says.

It is very disappointing that there has been no response from the Dee4life board of directors to the sacking of Gary Bowyer. According to the front page of their new website they are supposed to represent the wider global Dundee FC supporters in addition to their members.

i believe GARY BOWYER when he says he was looking forward to being manager of Dundee in the premier league, plus the fact he was wanting to raise the standards at the club, which put the onus on Nelms.
when you make a decision to sack a manager, especially a successful manager, all of the board should be consulted, and i dont believe
this happened.
