I reckon that the training ground will not go ahead as the Dundee FC Community Trust appears to be short of money.
Charging a ?2 entrance fee to enter the Penman Lounge when it is not required for hospitality with the entrance fee money going to the Community Trust gives me the impression that the Community Trust are desperate for funds.
If my hunch is correct then why has this happened.
That is easy to explain.
When Greg Fenton was appointed General Manager of Dundee Football Club in addition to remaining the Chief Executive of the Dundee FC Community Trust he took his eye off the ball.
It is the Chief Executive of the Community Trust along with their board of Trustees who are responsible for sourcing funding and making funding applications to Charitable Foundations for funds to allow the Dundee FC Community Trust to remain in business.
