Blah blah fkn blah.

Nelms has your number….same as the rest of us.

I know that John Nelms had not closed the joint venture Bank of Scotland account when I visited the Bank of Scotland branch in January 2024.
Deeranged should remember this joint venture Bank of Scotland account with Dee4life.

Islay, why not try to ask short non critical questions where you do not know the answer? jdfc has said the SLO's have 4 pages of questions. That's a terrific start, imo.

As an example, I would ask the SLO'S if the Joint Venture Account between the club and Dee4life had been closed and express the hope that there had been a successful transfer of the funds.

You might not be aware that in July 2022 Norrie Price Chairman of Dee4life and Gary Cocker Secretary of Dee4life had a meeting with John Nelms.
During the meeting Norrie suggested to John Nelms that Dundee Football Club start a suggestions book where supporters can put forward their own suggestions to improve the club.
Nelms replied stating “Look around you. Why do we need to improve anything”.
That was the end of that topic.

But the point is there are TWO NEW SLO'S. Jumping and moaning about the past is not going to take us forward. We would not have 2 SLO'S appointed if the board did not think it worthwhile.

The Dee4life secretary sent a letter to John Nelms stating that Dee4life had given up their rights to the funds in this Bank of Scotland and it was up to himself (Nelms) to close the account.
Several Dee4life directors had been trying to close this joint venture Bank of Scotland since 2016 with no success.
At one point in the spring Dee4life Secretary Norrie Price sent a letter to John Nelms about trying to get the Bank of Scotland account closed.
Nelms replied that he was too busy to do anything about it but he would see about it during the summer.
John Nelms did nothing about trying to close the account and eventually Dee4life gave up and handed the balance of the account to Dundee Football Club with John Nelms as a director of Dundee Football Club Limited left to close the Bank of Scotland account.

John Burke previously told me it is an SPFL requirement that every club in the Premier League has a Supporters Liaison Officer (SLO)

Correct it's a requirement to have an SLO so another box ticked by Nelms after John's resignation.

Where the idea of having two SLOs came from is anyone's guess. My guess is that there were probably only two applicants for the position and Nelms decided to take the two with the intention of keeping the more compliant of them and binning the other at a later date.

You are probably correct about Nelms taking the only two applicants and eventually binning the less compliant of the two.
However Nelms might not have the same control over the two new SLO?s as neither of them are a member of the DSA committee.
