  • Dee4Life Update

    For those that aren't getting them.


    The Dee4Life AGM took place on the 29th of November at the Dundee Social Club with a good turnout of members.


    AGM round-up


    The AGM received performance and finance reports for the twelve months to May 2025. There were two reappointments, with notification of two impending retirals from the Board, Grant Macgregor, as of the AGM, and Mike Woodcock from February 2026.


    Following the formal AGM there was an open question and answer session. A lot of focus was on the current position both on the pitch and off the pitch.


    There was a lively and open discussion on various aspects with a consensus view from those present that the focus for the coming months should be on pursuing a more stringent line with the management of DFC.


    Fan experience concerns

    Specific areas of concern raised included the condition of Dens Park for the fan experience, the delays at Camperdown around the new stadium, the general running of the club including the summer replacement of the first team manager and the recruitment approach and consequences as witnessed in the performances and results achieved so far this season. The board were charged to take this away and consider appropriate next steps. This to include raising a matter of no confidence in the day-to-day leadership of the football club.


    Specifically on the new stadium there was no Dundee City Council Planning committee meeting held in December as it was stated there was no business to consider. This means therefore that the Planning Permission in Principle application for the stadium and related developments remains unready for advancement to committee. It is to be hoped this resolves itself early in 2026 and certainly ahead of February and the second anniversary of the submission date.


    Turning to the results over late November and into December again this has been mixed with one win and a draw achieved. The performances again are a roller coaster as evidenced recently in the Livingston match, truly a classic game of two halves. Still, we are positive and hope for better returns over the coming weeks leading into the Derby on the 3rd of January.


    DSA meeting


    As advised before Dee4Life has been seeking to meet with our colleagues at the DSA. I am pleased to advise that we now have a date to meet in January and will update you after this.


    Finally, all the best for the festive period to all our members and their families, a good stocking filler for a relative or family friend could be a Dee4Life membership, a well spent ?10.00.

    How stringent is stringent?

    Holding feet to the fire stringent or Oliver like please sir can I have some more stringent?

    Raising a matter of no confidence?

    I take it they had a vote of no confidence?

      I've no idea what a matter of no confidence is, they have no voting rights so can't raise a motion of no confidence to force a vote. Very odd statement. Maybe our resident Dee4Life nuisance and island exile can clarify?

        Can only assume the more 'stringent line' means insisting on getting their entitlement to two representatives on the board sorted?

        Can't see that happening unfortunately.

          They had a vote of no confidence and it was carried unanimously.

              It doesn't say that though. It says the board was tasked with taking away and considering appropriate next steps including raising a matter of no confidence in the day to day running of the club. What's a matter of no confidence and who are they to raise it with?

                  Glad the members stuck their hands up.

                  Committee members also?

                    Yes. Everyone including committee members voted in favour of the motion.
                    I understand that the DSA secretaries were having a discussion about the same subject at their meeting on Saturday 29th November 2025 but it never went to a vote.
                    Perhaps some members of a DSA affiliated supporters club who pst on this board or TDB can confirm this as every DSA member club should have received the minutes of their meeting held on 29th November 2025.

                      The motion was a vote of no confidence in the running of Dundee Football Club by John Nelms which was carried unanimously.

                        So the minute is wrong then? It states they were tasked to take away and consider raising a matter of no confidence not that a vote of no confidence actually took place. Has the fact that a vote of no confidence in the day to day running of the club was taken and carried unanimously by the club's second largest share holder group formally advised to the club? If not do we know why not? Does anyone think they'll give a toss?

                        Again I'll ask if you or anyone else can advise what a matter of no confidence actually is. It's terminology I've never come across.

                          ITS a terminology often used in the HOUSE OF COMMONS

                              3 years but we might just be moving in right direction.

                              Nelms has treated the support with contempt, I'll never know why we tip toed around him so much......plus the running of the club, commercial dept, continual change of direction, sacking after sacking, e mail fiasco, pitch fiasco, the ground, good god the ground......and many other scandals.

                              In spl tick.

                              Not got us in debt tick

                              No many other ticks.
