Were you concerned about the running of Dundee Football Club under the ownership of Cook, Dixon The Marrs, Melville? All of them incurred huge losses year in year out in their tenures including two admins and the club nearly going under. Are you saying Nelms is running the club worse than previous owners?

I was an armchair supporter of Dundee Football Club from 1982 until December 2009 so apart from reading about these people in the newspapers it did not concern me until the last ten months of Melville bankrolling Dundee Football Club.
These people tried to do their best for Dundee Football Club whilst they were majority owners.
Nelms is not the current majority owner. He was put in place by Tim Keyes to look after his investment in Dundee Football Club Limited.

Another different question Islay. Do you have any info or explanation re. the rumours abounding on social media and other sites that we have parted company with our relatively recently appointed general manager Greg Fenton? A fall out? Maybe the return of 'most respected' previous incumbent? Seems to have come out of the blue this one!

Late on Tuesday evening I noticed this on Pravda.
I immediately had a look at Greg Fenton’s LinkedIn page but there was nothing mentioned about him leaving his employment in Dundee Football Club.
Shortly after Greg Fenton was appointed general manager I heard that Jim Thomson was still in charge of match day operations as Greg Fenton did not have the qualifications.
At a Dundee FC Seniors Group meeting before Covid we were told by Greg Fenton that the Dundee FC Community Trust had to be totally separate from Dundee Football Club.
The Community Trust could use the Dundee Football Club offices but they had to be charged to use them to keep their charitable status. Dundee Football Club could subsequently donate the use of their Club offices free of charge.
We were also told that Dundee FC Community Trust staff could not also be employed by Dundee Football Club.
This rule if correct appears to have been ignored as Greg Fenton is listed as the Chief Executive of Dundee FC Community Trust and he is also General Manager of Dundee Football Club.
It would be interesting to know who is paying his wages for both jobs or is it split between Dundee Football Club and Dundee FC Community Trust on a pro rata basis.
Dundee FC Community Trust Director of Business Declan Gall was also employed by Dundee Football Club as their disabled access officer but Declan Gall is no longer listed in the Dundee FC Community Trust website so he may no longer be employed by them.
John Nelms’s son was previously the Dundee FC Community Trust Director of Education but John Nelms mentioned a few months ago that his son was joining the British Army.

yes it was wee mary and her pals at the BoS to blame.

Who is wee Mary and her pals at BoS.
I know who was responsible but it has nothing whatsoever to do with you.
Stick to Dab Mad and hope that Mark Ogren does not get fed up bank rolling the Dabs.

How do you come to that conclusion?

The Bank of Scotland top management allowed the Marrs to keep spending money employing new players on lavish salaries when Dundee Football Club’s annual income was totally insufficient to pay these salaries.
From memory Dundee Football Club were due Bank of Scotland £22 million when they were forced to call in the administrators in 2003.
