AirdrieJag Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) https://dundeefc.co.uk/news/club-statement-26/ Statement from Dundee. It's (deliberately?) ambiguous. Not sure where this leaves us. Are they suggesting reconstruction for 2020/21 season as pre-requisite for their voting YES?

Dragon Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Some sly wee digs in there for 2 Championship clubs. Wonder who they could be aimed at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggy Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 I don't like this sentence at all, as far as I'm concerned PTFC & ICTFC have reacted in an acceptable and honest manner and had no reason not to 'out' DFC: Because of the situation detailed above, it was our intention (as the world has seen through the disappointing and regrettable actions of two championship clubs) to vote ‘no’ on the proposed resolution.

policemans whistle Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 I posted earlier on this topic, that a group of horse racing trainers were putting forward a plan to resume racing behind close doors in early May. This still the case. The intention is to start at Lingfield, with local trainers involved. Also a group of English football clubs, are working on a proposal to start the leagues again in early June. The games to be played behind closed doors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gianlucatoni Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 @Kheredine @Kheredine2018 · 1h So this new @DundeeFC statement https://dundeefc.co.uk/news/club-statement-26/… leaves me none the wiser . It says they “regret” the leak (to me) I'm none the wiser - who leaked it to him? ICT chair discussed it on the radio undoubtedly as Dundee stopped all contact & he felt shafted ... who else?

Not sure where this leaves us. Don't see it as ambiguous to be honest. Seems a good statement both from their fans' perspective and also from that of other clubs.

exiledjag Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 So Dundee make an agreement, break it, then take the huff when their partners publish evidence of the agreement. A bit naive! Nice though that they are still trying to help us! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it as a dig at us and ICT for publishing the voting slips! I have read and re-read the statement and don't see how it could be interpreted any other way.

You’re right and if John Nelms has had meaningful discussions with Doncaster and Co about voting Yes and putting League Reconstruction on the table he’d been seriously misguided. If it was put to the Clubs who would have to vote for it , IMO it’s doubtful it would pass as some Clubs would have their prize/tv money diluted. For ‘ Sporting Integrity ‘ he’s got to stick to his original No vote and that then would spring dialogue between all the Clubs to see how this can be resolved, rather than going on possibly false promises from Doncaster and his cronies.

MerryHell Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 OBR report yesterday about economy, employment etc. was based upon 3 months lockdown, 3 months partial lockdown. No way events with crowds are going to be permitted until lockdown totally lifted. God knows when that’ll be but I don’t think football before Sept is likely. Why don’t we complete the season (and maybe have a cup tourney) then and have a ‘21 season over the summer months? Voila - the summer season many want!

dl1971 Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) It may be the case that Aberdeen and Hibs were going to vote No. Changed their mind as their would be flak from their fan base ( 1. The Rangers scenario and 2. The Hearts scenario ). So the blame for a NO vote would lie with Dundee ( and ICT/PTFC ). Cute when you think about it.
