The Platinum meals thing is ringing a bell but I wasn't really involved in those discussions.

The removal of streaming rights was an absolute disgrace and he even refused to return the equipment needed for it which was the property of DFCSS. The standard of coverage fell off a cliff when the club first took it on but thankfully it's better now.

These things were done to try to get all the DFCSS funds which Nelms was adamant belonged to the club because the money came from Dundee FC supporters. His belief was, and probably still is, that any spare cash that any Dundee fan has and intends spending on football should be the club's either by the purchase of something or ideally by donation.

The John Nelms business model is essentially get as much money out of DFC fans as possible, at the lowest possible expense to him and spend the least amount to thank those same fans for their loyalty.
Nelms will not be happy when he sees who is sponsoring Cammy Kerr?s Queens Park home strip. https://queensparkfc.co.uk/cammy-kerr/
In my opinion I think that the management of Dundee Football Club as missing an opportunity to raise more funds through the sponsorship of the players football boots.
I have seen some professional football clubs advertise the sponsorship of their goalkeepers gloves.
