To be fair to Cran, he does love the odd scour of P&B for an exclusive but he's much better to people who were just absolute arseholes. Anyone remember Liam Kennedy's constant shit stirring?

Scenes when he runs with a "STADIUM ACCESS ROAD TO COST £100M+" headline, IMO.

Heard from a reasonable source that Nelmsy had no idea about McGhee's 5 match ban when he was convinced to hire him. Hence the reason he was pretty miffed at his unveiling and answered no questions that day.

Do you mean like in the same way Nelms didn’t know Dundee fans would have an issue with Billy Dodds being McIntyre’s number 2?  Can Nelms really be that careless with such important appointments?………..don’t answer that.

I hope he's miffed enough to punt him regardless if he's pulls off a miracle and keeps us up or not tbh.

If true it means he definitely doesn't read Dundee's press as it was reported as one of the reasons that Nelms vetoed the idea of McGhee coming in to assist McCann.

Quote

"The veteran of over 900 games as manager left a similar director of football posting at Barnet in March.

But Dundee were reluctant to appoint someone who is still due to serve a five-game touchline ban after he was sent to the stand during a 7-2 defeat by Aberdeen while with Motherwell, his last post in club football in Scotland. Nelms is understood to have nixed this final candidate proposed by McCann and let the axe fall on the manager instead."

Maybe he forgot? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That’s a better response from Nelms in the courier. 2024 might be slightly pushing it though. 
 

Just a pity our local ‘in the know with councillors’ Invergowrie Arab couldn’t have just told us that to save Random and the like posting drivel about it.

Why would he need to read the press about something he already knew?

Well, the suggestion was that he didn't know. So...

But if he knocked back the idea when McCann was boss then he knew long before he hired him to replace McPake. 

Not sure it's ever been confirmed he didn't know when he appointed McGhee.

Or he forgot.

That was pretty much my point...

To be honest, faced with the option of doubting the source and that Nelms was pissed off for any number of other reasons or believing Nelms forgot I know which seems more plausible.

And yes, I know we're talking about Nelms here!

Open it up in Private/Secret mode on your browser, this should work.

Edit; scrap that, worked last night, not today though!
