Napper Posted 24 May 2019 Report Share Posted 24 May 2019 (edited) Derek Adams says he was approached by DFC but doesn't want the job. Dodds saying Nelms is too influenced by fans on social media... Sounds like he's still miffed by not getting the assistant gig and his mate getting binned.. Darren O'Dea defending the club but says it's not clear what the club's direction is... O'Dea and Dodds having a slight argument.. Dodds saying he's never criticised a chairman in his life.. but then goes on to have a pop at Nelms.. says he's naive and not experienced enough.. plus what was mentioned earlier.. thinks Nelms too influenced by social media.. also said it took Nelms ages to give him a call when all the issues came up re being McIntyre's assistant...

Budgem Posted 24 May 2019 Report Share Posted 24 May 2019 Surprised Darren didn't wrap e's puss! I try not to listen to a non-credible pundit who's obviously miffed about a few things DFC related. Pr#ck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCram Posted 24 May 2019 Report Share Posted 24 May 2019 IMO Dodds dodged a bullet by being turned down for the job as assistant to JM. I don't recall him being a defensive mastermind and I think JN did him a big favour by not bringing him to Dens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll put my tin hat on first but I've started to think that recently too. There have been things that come up on here that seem to be getting discussed at Board level like Strachan as DOF for example. While I've no problem with the BOD having a nose about to see what the troops think (a good thing in my opinion) they have to bear in mind that we can be a bit insane, especially when its not our chequebook that's getting opened. I'm glad they're consulting with some 'old heads' and if they go down the DOF route then fine but I think it will limit what manager/First team coach is attracted. Time to break out the popcorn and see what we end up with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Posted 24 May 2019 Report Share Posted 24 May 2019 Billy Dodds is a great pundit. He's cut through the bulls**t. He tells it like it is. I have nothing but admiration for the guy. Only joking. The guy is a c**t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to break out the popcorn and see what we end up with. This kind of chat will have been in all social media & pubs, on buses, at work, but also because it's fairly obvious to us, it's probably just as obvious to the board members & club employees who are lifelong Dees. It's almost impossible to trace 'the start' of rumours that seem to become reality. I'm sure they often begin with a "don't tell anyone, but we're about to...." leak. If our directors are aware of what Dundee fans are saying on social media, that's surely a positive, that they are paying attention to what fans think & say? Seems another "damned if they do,...." scenario. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentke Posted 24 May 2019 Report Share Posted 24 May 2019 Part of what BD said tonight is pretty much aligned to what many posters have said on here about JN. Makes it harder hearing it from his mouth but I agree with some of his points. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Posted 24 May 2019 Report Share Posted 24 May 2019 IMO the fans sacked McCann, the fans blocked the appointment of Dodds and the fans then sacked McIntyre. Is that a good thing? I'm not going to say. All I will say is, its perfectly understandable that a DFC board should be swayed by public opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know everything that's said on here and Dundee Mad and even know the true identities of many posters including me. They don't normally give a toss though to be fair.
