Ludo*1 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I think it's also an apt time to share this older interview with Nelms which is just in text form but extremely relevant to the goings on now: https://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/fp/dundee-isnt-rich-mans-plaything-john-nelms-says-hes-long-haul/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alert Mongoose Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Any truth in a few of the rumours going about that this is partly sponsored by Sky who will have cameras following him around while he manages at Dens? Apparently some sort of documentary to be aired in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Pack Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Good appointment, he will have Dundee challenging near the top of the Championship next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Have to say really happy with how Nelms has handled this. Regardless of what you think of his choice of appointment. He's been respectful of Hartley, he's done it the right way, he's moved swiftly, he's acted with class and he's also introduced Neil McCann with, 'He's blue, he's white... Neil McCann'. I particularly like how he said that he doesn't know if sacking Hartley was the right decision and that only time will tell rather than one of those chairman that would say they're right 100% of the time and that they're infallible. I also like that he knows he's put his neck on the block in terms of not only the fans, but his reputation in general with this appointment. Never change.

btb Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Strange appointment from the outside, initially interim only but my guess is the job would be his for the asking if Dundee have a good run post-split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We appointed an ex player who got us into 2 cup finals by scoring winning goals and then coming out of retirement and scoring a winning goal. Apart from that yeah it could be a beautiful thing.

capt_oats Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 The biggest question I had about this whole thing was pretty much who would take the job on an interim basis with only 5 games to go. You'd have thought that anyone who's viewed as being a "better" manager than Hartley would either want assurances about the position regardless of the outcome or simply wait a couple of months and see how the season pans out and avoid a potential relegation on their CV which would hardly be a great start to a relationship with the club & fans.With McCann it's essentially a free hit for him. He comes in short term, gives it a go...if it works great he can decide if he fancies it long term if he gets them relegated then he shrugs his shoulders and fucks off back to his TV gig at Sky saying "I only had 5 games and they were 2nd bottom when I took over anyway.". It doesn't really do his *ahem* credibility any real damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't really do his *ahem* credibility any real damage. Pretty much exactly what I was about to post. Looking at the results, Hartley definitely had to go. Just a shame that McCann only has 5 games and will probably leave if and when they go down. The only reason I would like Dundee to stay up is that it would keep McCann off the TV for a while.
