    Since he refused to play the mexicans, no doubt. One of the most useless projects ever, even by our man's standards. I have the absolute fears when this happens. It will be an old name, like Davidson or Maloney. We need to be careful what we wish for. This is the man who appointed McIntyre without Dodds, McPake, McCann. I will let him off with McGhee given it was interim and McPake was so dreadful.

    I was at last night’s Player of the Year dinner and when interviewed Tony Docherty’s replies were not convincing.
    Later I heard that Tony Docherty was supposedly going to Hearts as McInnes’s assistant manager.
    One person suggested that Barry Ferguson was to be the next Dundee FC manager.

    Tim Keyes should get rid of Nelms who is the root cause of all the problems in Dundee Football Club.
    Gary Bowyer was a good manager but Nelms fell out with him because Gary Bowyer told Nelms the truth.
    Incidentally none of the Dundee FC board of directors including Nelms were present at last night’s dinner which used to happen in previous years when Nelms sat with his ‘minder’ Kenny Ross.

    I am irritated at you posting that "in previous years Nelms used to sit with his minder Kenny Ross."

    What on earth does that mean?

    Firstly Nelms has never sat next to me at any DFC dinner; POY, HOF, Sponsors Dinner etc. not one - ever.

    Secondly what does "his minder mean"? Why did you write that? What are you implying?

    You know this is what I get for being accommodating to you? You were not a member of a DSA member club and yet I let you come to a couple of dinners after you complained on here it was a closed shop (it?s not - it?s an event for members)

    By the sounds of things, got to go again. Are you a member of a DSA club now?

    The dinners you were at when I was running the DSA, was I ever sitting next to Nelms? Anything other than no is a lie and the DSA committee could confirm this. I sat with the guest speakers and former players and never once sat at a DFC table.

    Why on earth would you even write that when you saw that wasn't the case?

    Don?t bring me into your personal vendetta with Nelms

    Thank you for your email which I have just replied to.
    Incidentally John Nelms crossed a Red Line when he stated a pack of lies about a visit my wife and I had to the Dundee Football Club offices on 5th October 2022 in his letter to the Dee4life board of directors. I will never ever forget what John Nelms stated in his letter.
    He might a pal of yours but I have no time for him especially as he dragged my wife who is a Football widow into the lies stated in his letter which I still have a copy of in the saved box of my iPad.

    Why don’t you publicise this letter?

    What does any of that have to do with you calling somebody John Nelms' minder?

    Is it wrong for anyone to state (in your words only because we have no proof that it ever happened) 'a pack of lies' about you but perfectly acceptable for you to do the same about another? Because that's how this latest rant of yours reads. You've written a pack of lies about an individual who always did his best for the association he was a senior member of but who now gets abuse from you for doing his best.

    I expect your email to K. R. might have contained a form of very reluctant apology but in all honesty your failure to issue this apology publicly, on here, after slating the guy so publicly, on here, paints a picture of a very bitter and twisted individual.
