What's the two or three things you look for

[islaydarkblue]

When you go to the football for a season?

I see a lot of absolute drivel posted after a bad defeat and think folk just like to move the goalposts.

I look for league position 9th to 6th......anything above is seriously punching upwards.

I look for decent home form, winning more than we lose.

I HOPE for a break in cup draws to get a half decent run.

I look for a connection between manager team and fans.

I look for us to be organised and professional on the park.

After that I actually don't expect too much on the pitch.....I expect a helluva lot more off but let's no go there

I think we have had most of the above some of/most of the time this season.

I dinnae want a baby bathwater situation developing here.

I really hope Elvis is here next season.

If Nelms has set the same targets for Pressley as he supposedly set for Tony Docherty namely giving Docherty a top six budget for a top six finish then Pressley will be sacked at the end of this season. Pressley might beat Nelms to it as there has been talk on the forums that Pressley’s family are still living down south and Presley wants to move back south.
A season as the Dundee FC manager would help Pressley get a football manager’s job done south at a lower Football league club or National league club.

[QUOTE=islaydarkblue;40823064]I would like the Managing Director and his board of directors to speak directly to the Dundee FC supporters instead of the managing director giving snippets to George Cran of the Courier.
It would also be a great help if Tim Keyes who owns 91% of the Dundee FC Ltd shares via FPS and Dark Blue Property Holdings Limited told us his plans for the next few years.
Is he still in favour of the new stadium development in the former NCR Camperdown playing fields and is the cost fully funded. According to Nelms in September 2022 it was fully funded yet in May 2018 there was a shortfall in funding when it was going to cost a net amount of ?13.5 million.[/QUOTe

The question from Returnofrros was , Whats the two or three things you look for when you go to football for the season?

Going by your answer you have no interest on what happens on the playing side, only off field matters. Sums you up , a bitter man with an agenda. As i have told you before Nelms and what he does has you rattled and there is not one thing you can do about it, no matter how much you bleat, whinge and moan.

I think the views expressed by Islay are part of a concern for the future of our club. I'd be more inclined to listen to Islay's comments about the financial side of our football club. These financial issues affect the playing side by boosting or reducing the money that the club can spend on players.
Hope Tim Keyes realises that there might be more the club could do to encourage financial support from fans.

Islay has no idea about the financial side of the club. All he has is a reference to a Soho Green loan, the arrangements of which he is clueless, and snippets from the generally limited communications out of the club.

Remember, Islay was a bank teller not a management accountant or business consultant. He doesn't do proper research either, he makes wild assumptions based on his skewed views and searches for evidence to back those assumptions.

In all honesty, he's best ignored.

It does seem to come from a hatred of nelms,I'm fine with that.
But the concerns about interest on loans on dens are not really justified as our owners have given us no concerns whatsoever since they took over.
They cover the losses each season and I for one am grateful for that.

Several months ago there was a mention in the Courier about the outstanding Soho Green loan with the site of the new stadium development at the former NCR Camperdown playing fields put up as security for their loan.
In my opinion taking out this loan with Soho Green was a strange move considering Tim Keyes purchased the site of the new stadium development at the former NCR Camperdown playing fields on 8th July 2016 and Nelms stated in September 2022 that the cost of the new stadium development was fully funded.
Not repaying the Soho Green loan could be Tim Keyes ‘get out of jail card’. The new stadium development at the NCR Camperdown playing fields is scrapped and the Soho Green investors on group 0004 are left holding the 29.7 acres site.
My main concern is that Dark Blue Property Holdings Limited will not repay the Soho Green loan with the Dens Park Stadium put up as security for this loan resulting in the Soho Green investors in group 0015 left owning the Dens Park Stadium which they will sell to the highest bidder leaving Dundee Football Club homeless.
Dee4life should be setting up a rainy day fund which all Dundee FC supporters should be contributing to in case the Soho Green loan is not repaid which would give the Dundee FC supporters an opportunity to purchase the Dens Park Stadium from Soho Green investors in group 0015.

Thanks for proving my point.

How much would Dee4Life need in this rainy day fund that you are proposing?

Repaying loan secured on Dens. Not sure that repaying the loan would actually be the same as owning Dens. Agree with Eric Sinclair. Owners have delivered a lot of support by paying bills. Making points to help them to do better, seems to me to be OK.
