New Dee4life mission statement

[islaydarkblue]

Greg Fenton has no authority to answer any questions on behalf of Dundee FC. Only one person can do that and we all know he simply won't. Until season ticket sales take a slump of course, then he might skim over some of them, give loose half answers and promise planning permission for the pie in sky stadium will be in by the end of June (with no year specified of course).

I do not understand why Dee4life board of directors got Kenny Valentine to hand over the questions to Greg Fenton when he has no authority to answer questions on behalf of Dundee FC.
The questions should have been handed to John Nelms.
I am looking forward to Grant Hill who is the Dee4life Vice Chairman explaining why the questions submitted by 200 Dee4life members were not handed directly to John Nelms to answer.

I don't understand the point you are trying to make Islay. My understanding of how John Nelms works is that he always wants to be in control. I don't think that he would ever delegate the task of answering questions from Dee4Life to anyone. Equally I don't think any board member who received questions to the DFC board would suppress them.

Sure we will get answers. Not sure we will like them!

This is why it's imperative that Dee4L get someone on the board with direct access to John Nelms. It's easy for John Nelms to tell Greg Fenton just to ignore the questions, and for Greg Fenton to simply not bother getting back to Kenny Valentine it's much harder for John Nelms himself to simply ignore the questions when raised by a nominated member of the board direct to his face.

John Nelms tried this approach with the last Dee4Life nominated board member when he tried to tell him Jim Thomson would be his focal point for everything. That person simply ignored that and went direct to John Nelms.

But jaw jaw is the way to go apparently......with a man who never talks 🤣

I suspect Linda is away to lead everyone up the garden path.....AGAIN.

You should know by now that if you want something done you deal with the ‘organ grinder not the the monkey’.

When was that.

There may be a point where the equivalent of Hitler invading Poland creates an imperative for a new approach. I am still hoping for a Rainy Day fund which could be useful whatever happens in the future.

It is up to the Dee4life board of directors to set up a Rainy Day Fund before it is too late.
I still believe that Tim Keyes has stopped bank rolling Dundee Football Club otherwise why would Gary Bowyer have to persuade players to leave during the 2023 January transfer window to bring in new players on loan until the end of this season.

Something to do with budget?
