Seems they were correct. After the entirely predictable fallout when McIntyre was announced as manager Nelms claimed he had spoken to several prominent Dundee supporters prior to McIntyre’s signing who assured him that there would be no issue with Dodds signing on at Dens. A club that would be out of business if everyone had voted like he did. Nelms actually believed he could bring Dodds to Dens. That says more about Nelms than anyone else involved in the whole sorry affair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mistake to be sure and one I'm sure he has learned from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Also some (kinda) good news regarding Byrne. His injury is less severe than feared, but he still sustained ligament damage which may still require surgery. A specialist will decide if it's necessary, which hopefully it isn't. Still out for quite a while, but hopefully less severe on impacting his life as it potentially could have. https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/football/dundee-fc/2673540/dundeefc-shaun-byrne-injury-could-worse-surgery-option/ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he spoke to several prominent Dundee supporters and they said it wouldn't be a problem, I think it says more about them. At least Nelms did some kind of opinion hunting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reply was well thought out, and ultimately we didn’t appoint him. Instead we go the horror of the useless twat that was given the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to him not taking Dodds though, the fans spoke and he listened. This was after the Ball Sackintyre appointment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many prominent Dundee supporters Nelms could have sounded out. I just don’t believe any of them wouldn’t have highlighted the potential significant issues in signing McIntyre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, the reply was very professional. Unfortunately, I would imagine you, like me, sent your e Mail after McIntyre’s appointment was announced. I don’t think there were many, if any, of us predicting McIntyre as our next manager. Edited October 22, 2021 by Shadow Play 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sortmeout Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Do you think Dodds proactively brought the subject up to Nelms when he was first approached? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Who would be considered a 'prominent' Dundee supporter that Nelms would approach? The Marrs? They'd not be Dodds' biggest fan. Harry Mac? He was involved with the club when Dodds voted against the CVA so unlikely. Who we talking here? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 He's a decent actor, sort of get forced to watch Coronation St, him and Roy Cropper stand head and shoulders above the rest of the wooden-tops.

Frankly, the former manager whose name I won’t write as I refuse to acknowledge that he could have been so useless, was a bad appointment, and in all likelihood from a footballing perspective for the Dee, Dodds’ presence might have improved things- although a Dodds return would have been unacceptable. What nobody could have forseen was how incompetent the unpolished tangerine turd was without the “competence” of the right hand little venal Dodds to do the work. A woeful chapter in a litany of pish years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
