With the current set up,the fans have zero representation, and although the supporters society could demand their two places on the board,Nelms can either outvote them,or just have meetings in their absence. Either way he does what he wants.
As we have seen recently, Nelms is quite happy to respond to questions via a video,where he then answers different questions,and tells us how great things will be, I am not so sure he is so keen on any face to face discussions.
To be fair,with his backer being so far away,Nelms has essentially become de facto owner,and seems to be perfectly happy alienating dundee supporters. As we have seen,even a season ticket holder throwing his book at him was completely ignored.
He is also happy alienating fellow directors it seems,as a few have taken the opportunity to remove themselves from the board,and this,for me,is indicative of how he sees the club running. He knows better than anyone else,so why listen to anyone else.
The supporters society should probably have kept its membership at circa 4,500,and ignored the alleged dogs and budgies within its ranks,with the shares and a claim to that many members,they may have been able to claim to represent the wider fanbase. By introducing an annual membership,they can't really claim that representation with 200 members.
The DSA could withhold whatever monies it hands over,but realistically they would just be cut off the way dfcss were. Same for the foundation.
I fear for the future,unless we can get those three organisations,dfcss,dsa,and the foundation getting together,and sorting out what they want,and singing from the same songbook.
Maybe then, Nelms might just listen, but I am not sure it will ever happen
