    I think due to John Nelms running the club, fowk sometimes forget about Tim keyes and let's be honest if you backed the club like he has should he not expect some help if funds are available no questions asked.
    I certainly think he has paid his dies since getting involved, the dfcss seem petty holding money back imo.

    I hope that John Nelms has applied for and received the £50,000 each SPFL club is entitled to receive
    as a result of the ‘no strings’ donation to the SPFL by philanthropist James Anderson.

    These are unprecedented times and it calls for swift action from those who hold the purse strings.
    Whilst I agree with you Noah on the DFCSS handing over the money I find it odd that Nelms only talks to people when he needs something.
    He has a massive preference to surround himself with yes men, he made a total Bernie Blunt of the voting malarkey and he absolutely has no interest in anything that doesn’t boost his social standing.
    I hope he’s taken the 30% paycut as that’s more money than the DFCSS have in the bank in one go.

    Eric they offered it as an interest free loan, the money could already be in the bank account of the club.

    Sorry Noah, I missed this.

    It didn’t get that far as John nelms was only interested in a no strings handover rather than am interest free loan.

    Then took the petted lip when he didn't get his way.

    I wonder if the club requested the money knowing that the request would be rejected then themselves leaking this to the press and using the fans justified annoyance at this rejection as a further leverage against the Society . Both parties have been at loggerheads since The Americans took over.

    If they did then that's a very dirty trick to pull. I don't think that would have been the case though.

    Why is the fans' annoyance at this justified in your opinion?

    The society as it was when the Americans came along is not as it was just six months later but JN has held the grudge against anyone associating with the society since. His gripe was with those in charge of the society at time of take over and not with the society in general but he refuses to see it that way. This relationship was of course worsened when an individual that had been previously asked to leave the society board after a shocking and unforgivable breach of trust and confidentiality managed to weedle his way back onto it unopposed.

    Fault on both sides and in my view the rift will never be closed as long as JN is at the club and the society board contains certain individuals.
