You might remember discussions about the Dee4life Bank of Scotland account which was used for the joint venture between Dee4life and Dundee Football Club which included income from the various packages such as Gold and Platinum plus latterly DEETV.
Various Dee4life directors and myself as an official Dee4life volunteer had tried to get this account closed with no success.
Eventually the Dee4life members reluctantly voted in favour at an AGM in 2022 to give up Dee4life?s right to the funds in the Bank of Scotland account.
The Dee4life secretary sent a letter to John Nelms advising him that the Dee4life members had voted in favour of giving up their rights to funds in the Bank of Scotland account and they were handing it over to Dundee Football Club to access the funds and close the account.
Last January (2024) I was clearing out my old emails and I came across the details of the ?infamous? Bank of Scotland account including the full name of the account, the bank sorting code and the account number.
I went to the Bank of Scotland in Bowmore, Isle of Islay, gave the details of the Bank of Scotland account to the teller and I asked if it had been closed. I stated that I did not want to know the balance but it previously in the region of ?2,400.
The teller told me that the account was still open and it was marked ?inoperative?.
The lady in charge of the branch told me that it was relatively easy to close an inoperative Bank of Scotland.
I told her that Dee4life had signed over their rights to this account to Dundee Football Club and their managing director John Nelms had received a letter at least a year ago advising him that the club would have to close the account to access the funds.
I further added that John Nelms had crossed a red line for me and he hates Dee4life so he can get on with it himself.

Thought those who spoke gave valuable 8nformation and worthwhile opinions. Need to give Dee4life Board a chance to work on a way forward. Confrontation not worked at all, so think of something else.
Seemed to me a pragmatic approach.

How long do they need? To date they've done absolutely nothing in the form of creating a way forward.

While they were humphing about JN yesterday I switched the gas fire on in the front room and held my own feet to it. In effect I've done more in ten minutes yesterday than they have in that respect over the last two years.

It's high time that they either deliver something tangible for the membership or stand aside.

The Dee4life board submitted Kenny Valentine as their Primary representative after the end of the Dee4life AGM in November 2022.
A reply was received on 7th December 2022 signed Dundee FC Ltd (probably John Nelms) stating that the nomination of Kenny Valentine as the Dee4life Primary representative was a hostile act which would be dealt with under the Club?s Articles of Incorporation (sic). This is an American term.
I stated at the Dee4life board of directors meeting on 15th December 2022 that we should reply to John Nelms advising that we are nominating Kenny Valentine as the Dee4life Primary representative on the Dundee Football Club Limited board of directors and the DFC Ltd board of directors must accept Kenny Valentine?s nomination under rules 79-82 of the Dundee Football Club Limited Articles of Association.
Grant Hill the vice chairman of Dee4life was not in favour of this as he wanted more dialogue with John Nelms.
The majority of the Dee4life board of directors agreed with Grant Hill and this golden opportunity was lost.
Over two years later Dee4life have gone backwards thanks to a majority of Dee4life directors adopting delaying tactics which has got them nowhere apart from losing almost 200 members since the Dee4life AGM in November 2023.
I still have a copy of the letter signed Dundee FC Ltd stating that the nomination of the Dee4life Primary representative at the end of November 2022 was a hostile act.
The letter also included the pack of lies about the visit my wife and I had at Gardyne including the tour of the premises and the letter sent to Dark Blue Property Holdings Limited by a Dee4life Director which was not in favour of the new stadium development at Campy Nou. This was a breach of the 2018 Data Protection Act by the Directors of Dark Blue Property Holdings Limited.
The letter was seen by all the Dee4life directors which includes a Dundee City Councillor who is also a member of the Dundee City Council Planning Committee.
