The directors back then put their own money into the club when required to keep it going.
How many of the current board of directors apart from Tim Keyes have put their own money into Dundee Football Club.

There is absolutely no way you know which directors have and haven't put money into to the club and I would suggest John Nelms has - albeit he gets a salary from the club.
Nelms personally bought Bill Colvin's shares out of his own pocket. Nelms did, not Keyes. Also at a DSA meeting years ago when asked about increased season ticket prices, he replied that his season ticket cost 225,000 pounds, meaning he'd put that in cover half of the operating losses from that year.

Nelms and Keyes are a partnership and are equal partners in FPS and DBPH

You seem to know that John Nelms has put his own money into Dundee Football Club Limited so please prove it.
I know that Tim Keyes and John Nelms are equal partners in Dark Blue Property Holdings Limited as they each have a £1 share in the company. (Source Companies House website).
However I do not agree with your post that they are equal partners in FPS.
I enclose the Dundee Football Club Limited Annual Accounts for the year ending 31st May 2021 which are available to read on the Dundee Football Club website under ‘Club’. https://dundeefc.co.uk/wp-content/up...C-Accounts.pdf
I suggest that you pay particular attention to Note 16 - Controlling Party on Page 12 of the enclosed accounts.

That doesn't say they are not equal partners. That just says that Keyes controls FPS. That means nothing.
I already told you that Nelms told a DSA meeting that he pays half the deficit and he bought shares from his personal wealth. Why TF would I have to prove that? You say seem to know like I'm making it up. I told you where that came from.

I do not believe you.

I do not believe you.

Your comment does not mean that what Speroni has said is untrue. I was surprised by the positive response that Tim Keyes and John Nelms received from the crowd in the city square when they came out with the trophy. From the majority of posts on this forum you would think that they had no support at all. I know I am worried about the stadium project and how that will pan out for our club so I fall into the doubter category but it was an ecouragement, to me at least, that our owners did get some cheers from our support. Maybe we need more positive support for them posted on here?

I was at the Player of the Year dinner in the Invercarse Hotel last Sunday evening.
Tim Keyes and John Nelms were at the dinner but sadly there was no speech from either Tim Keyes or John Nelms regarding their plans for next season playing in the Premier League.
In my opinion they missed an ideal opportunity to galvanise the Dundee supporters.
Incidentally it was a great night.
