The Issue

As a lifelong Dundee FC supporter, I am deeply concerned about the current state of our beloved club. Over the years, I have watched with mounting frustration as our pride in the club has been diminished by a series of questionable decisions and lacklustre management. Our club, which once stood tall, is now facing a reputation crisis, worsened by the infamous lost email scandal and the scandal surrounding our pitch's dismal condition.

Under the leadership of John Nelms, Dundee FC has suffered from poor managerial choices, including an over-reliance on Gordon Strachan for critical decisions that directly impact the team’s performance. The club's infrastructure has been woefully neglected, from the lack of progress on a new stadium and training facilities to the subpar maintenance of Dens. This lack of investment has not only affected our performance but has also disheartened our loyal supporters, leading to falling attendance and a diminishing fan base.

Furthermore, the exorbitant ticket prices are simply unjustifiable given the poor quality of football currently on display. Our fans deserve better communication, transparent decision-making processes, and a management team that prioritizes the club’s development both on and off the field. Instead, we witness instability characterized by constant promotions and relegations and a marketing strategy that fails to engage and galvanize our supporters.

This petition calls for the removal of John Nelms as Chief Executive of Dundee FC. It is a crucial step towards re-establishing our club's standing, investing in our infrastructure, and inspiring confidence and pride among our fans. Dundee FC needs leadership that reflects the aspirations of its supporters and restores its glorious legacy.

I urge fellow supporters, members of the community, and anyone who cares about the future of Dundee FC to join me in this call for change. Let us stand together to bring back stability, transparency, and growth to our cherished club. Please sign this petition to ensure our voices are heard and our club’s future is secured.
