John Collins will be pleased to hear Nelms “ambition”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzpatrick got mocked for claiming St Mirrens "natural place" is in the top 6, despite them not finishing in the top 6 for about 30 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Aye there's a big difference between Nelms saying he wants Dundee to be a big team and in the top six all the time and Fitz saying St Mirren's are a top four side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I liked it when the BBC put together a big "told you so" video on Twitter about Fitzpatrick's comments when Saints looked like securing a top six spot, only for them to then bottle it and make them look stupid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what? The whole drama last season was based on him thinking he could be pivotal in making a larger top flight in the Scottish system and we've consistently voted against Colt sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 In saying that though, he might change his mind on that, he's been listening to Strachan's advice for the best part of a season. I'd be disappointed in him if he has changed his mind in that regard as he's been fairly steadfast in that before. But his comments today don't really do anything to contradict that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clearly am not reading it the same way you or anyone else raging about it is. Nelms was asked about the divisions and fractured agendas of the SPFL, and he said that he could see a scenario where the different group of clubs could break off if they were aggrieved enough. Nelms' big thing is that he wants reconstruction, which is evidently self-benefitial as it would give us a much better chance of remaining a top flight club. He's never made any indication of wanting to keep a smaller closed shop, and my tone would change considerably if that was proved otherwise at any point. If anything changes, my tone towards him will change very swiftly, and I'll join in the anger, but in this article in particular Nelms is just saying that a repeat of the SPL-SFL breakaway could happen if the clubs continue to disagree on certain issues.

If Nelms did mean that in the interview, then I think he was just trolling Ann Budge who (iirc) said almost exactly the same thing a few months before her team headed to the seaside for a year........................ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
