I will say this, Gary Bowyer comes across very well and talks about the Scottish game in good light.

He seems to be really excited to be here and looking forwarded to getting going.

Billy Barr looks like a rabbit in headlights and hoping to gad that no one asks him a question!

Call me easily convinced.. (but results may change that) seems positive.. even Nelms' interview was instructive.. but, I've said this before..and, I'll say it again.. that boardroom is frigging disgrace.. who hung those pictures? Looks like a teenager's bedroom.. Yes, I know, we may have bigger problems with our club.. but that room offends my eyes..

Shame that the official site doesn't allow embedding of videos.

Nelms talks very well. Everytime he talks publicly I find myself almost eating out of his hand. Very convincing even when reality doesn't always fully agree with the point he's making. 

He really should engage more as he's  ertaonly very charismatic.

He loved his first site of Dundee coming over the bridge , mind you what’s not to like Dundee is indeed a beautiful site from the bridge , Steven Frye described it as the most beautifully panoramic view of any city he’s ever approached

After watching & trying to hear all that was said (deefy) ... I think the first 3 to 4 Post Responses covers my own feelings as well.

Garry our new manager, came over very well (impressed) It might have been better if he could have briefly brought Billy more into the conversation, as with each passing minute he appeared to be getting more tense. Didn't see that as an issue tho' just a bit of first time nerves. And given time & more space he'll learn to relax and be more at ease in front of camera (It's of course more important he can connect to the players & get the best out of them)

Talking of nerves, even JN at times was a bit twitchy (That right hand) I felt he would have been better keeping his hand below the desk out of camera line. But there again, if the rapid twitching movement carried on below the desk...

It might even have looked worse

Shoving that aside JN (As always) presented well. He should make the extra effort to  communicate more often through the written page or TV...I think with one of his comments around "pressure at times" means he does forget the fans are a big part of the equation (not quite in those words) But he did say, without being asked, he should have been more open with them & hopes to do so more in the future

(As I said, I'm had of hearing so I may have been misinterpreting what was actually said...Unlikely mind, because I have had years of practice trying to listen & make sense of my own inner voices)

Noticed mention of new kit launch next week. Nice and early again which is good

Inspires confidence. Spoke very well and in a confident but humble manner.

Like most Cities we probably lose out, during the process of closer inspection, of some of the less welcoming areas.

But it's the First Impressions that count and stick in the mind. Let's hope Notso, with the passing of time, his comment is no slightly changed in construction...And his best view is now Tayport & Fife, as he leaves Bonnie Dundee "The City of Discovery" weel behind him

Good Luck to Both of Them

(Asking again) ... Is he locating in Dundee? Has anyone heard?

[Prince Buster]

This guy's talking about intensity, fitness and strength.

Is he really a Dundee manager? When was the last time we had that? Bomber?

Rocket science!
