graygo Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) 15 minutes ago, Darkblue said: The guy I spoke to was a former chief executive and he was horrified. Trouble is we live in a dilapidated 19th century stadium owned by an Arab (thanks to a previous administration). We have a very rich and very absent Texan owner called Tim Keyes who has effectively kept us alive for the last 6 years. Nelms is his pal (also from Texas) and he runs the show. Nelms doesn't really understand Scottish football all that well and doesn't have anyone here that he listens to. Dundee fans can attack him but ultimately we want to have a team to support and without the Americans we will probably go the same way as Third Lanark. Reading that, I would worry about what Nelms and the DU owner have planned for the future of football in Dundee. Edit: I didn't mean Nelms, I meant the owner wtf that is.

Kind of thing American owners like to do. Voting for The Arabs to be handed the title would have had my alarm bells ringing.

I believe this has all been orchestrated, no doubt with a great deal of assistance from the SPFL to stir up mass hysteriatring to convince everybody that it is a club v club case and to try and cause further delay to the Arbitration hearing, hoping that the nearer to 1st August it gets the more favourable decision they will achieve.Rightly so, details of the hearing have been kept to almost zero by both sides regarding the choosing of the panel/chairman, retrieval of documents and likely start date. Only vague statements like 'we hope to start next week' have been offered by the C3. Only the legal teams of both sides know the real situation .If anything should be leaked I think we all know where it would come from.

Your request to support our case financially , I would suggest Dee fans look to pool their own cash and find a way like the Foundation of Hearts did to buy their club. You made some comments about Mrs Budge - what I would say is that having spent some time in her company - she has very female standards of morality - I know that's fairly obvious. So does Jacqui Lowe , whose company I have also been in. What they see is wrong - is wrong and it is. Finally I would say to the SPFL and the fun boy 3 is that hell have no fury like a women scorned.

Fluorescent Adolescent Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 1 hour ago, Darkblue said: Sorry for the late reply. I've been informed by a former Dundee director that Nelms is effectively a dictator at Dens. There are no other directors with any influence, and the fans do not have a look-in. He hates the DFCSS, our most prominent fans' group, so no we do not have an opportunity to let him know when we are unhappy. One of the most most hated figures among Dundee fans is Billy Dodds. Dodds had already been offered the assistant's job by the time it reached Nelms that Dundee fans were furious. Dees are grateful that our American investors are paying our bills but we have next to no input on decision-making. I can assure you that 99% of Dees were against the Nelms U-turn but we were powerless to stop it. Anyway, the reason I came on here today is to ask if there is a way Dees can donate to the Hearts legal fund? It’s our battle, a battle we took on knowing the likely costs. Give your club the money. It sounds like they need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has minimal knowledge of Scottish football, nobody offering relevant advice, and no interaction with fans and the media. That is how he comes to the extraordinary decision to appear McIntyre and Dodds as the new management team while being blissfully aware that the fans are seething. There was no way we could stop that U-turn. All we could do was vent online and pray. Once the decision was made there was no going back so we had to suck it up. Mercer and Romanov don't define Hearts to me. If you want to judge DFC based solely on the characters who temporarily hold power at Dens that's your decision.

Birregrande Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 1 hour ago, Flimsy said: All that the four title winners, or even just one of them, had to do at any point in the last three months was to release a statement saying something like- 'We are delighted to have been awarded the league title following the decision that the season could not be completed. However, we recognise that many of our fellow clubs have not been so fortunate and will have lost the opportunity to achieve promotion or avoid relegation by not being able to complete their fixtures. We endorse league reconstruction so that as many clubs as possible are not disadvantaged during this crisis. We urge all other clubs to support this, so that Scottish football can move forward together and come out the other side with all SPFL clubs intact.' Unfortunately they are all a bunch of cxxxs. Hell mend them. Tremendous Flimsy. I'm still so surprised and disgusted about, 1. the selfishness of all the clubs, and 2. the utter lack of intelligence in Scottish football. It's staggering.

RobNox Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 1 hour ago, Ethan Hunt said: The Rangers/Hearts/Inverness proposal was always going to be blocked. The SPFL board were determined to end the leagues in the manner they had decided, despite their own QC providing legal advice that it would be open to legal challenge. I agree, it has become clear that It was a fait accompli. There was no alternative option put to clubs, the vote to end the season was tied to the release of funds, when there was no need to do this. The SPFL ruled out voiding the league as financial liabilities would occur, but failed to inform the clubs of the potential liabilities arising from calling the league early. They stressed the importance of starting the new season by 1st August otherwise we could face financial liabilities over the new TV deal, but seemingly made no attempt to explore with Sky whether some accommodation was available in the event of a delay, in the middle of a pandemic. They then allowed one club to reverse it's vote after the SPFL's deadline had passed. The more you piece this together, the more it becomes impossible to believe that the SPFL could be seen to be acting in utmost good faith towards it's members. It looks more like utmost bad faith. However this sorry mess ends, I fail to see how ND can retain the confidence of the clubs, although he does appear to be Mr Teflon, so I wouldn't be surprised if he spins his way out of this shit storm of his making.

Maroon tinted glasses 2 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Hey DARKBLUE, if you want to contribute to the cause then get some fans to arrange a crowd funded walk from Dens to Tynecastle to donate the cash to Stranraer allowing them to be involved in the process. I'm sure they would get a rousing welcome upon arrival (probably better than the two bitter Muppets who are doing the reverse will get upon departure). Even advertise it towards all Scottish clubs asking for help to support the one club in all this who can't financially afford to be heard.

RobNox Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 1 hour ago, Rattatooi said: Am I right in thinking that the disclosed documents will include the “remit” requested by the SPFL for Deloitte (or whoever it was) to conduct the enquiry into the vote? We don't know what documents have been requested, but I'd be astonished if we haven't asked for all available documentation relating to this review.. All we were told was that Deloitte undertook a review and everything was hunky dory. Who took the decision to commission the review, ND or the SPFL Board? Why were clubs not advised of this decision? What were the terms of reference of the review, what was in scope, and more importantly, what was out of scope? In the Rangers dossier, they claim that the scope of the review was narrow. What were the full findings of the review? Did Deloitte make any qualifying statements? I suspect this review will be seen to have been a complete fudge, in an attempt to dissuade the clubs from voting for an independent investigation.

More recently Berra transformed our team last season and set us up nicely for promotion (before Nelms decided that the play-offs weren't worth talking about when the pandemic hit).

John Findlay Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Dundee clubs dont need to merge but knock down both Dens Park and Tannadice and build a 20,000 capacity max new stadium and ground share.
