This new experience from Dunnet Bay Distillers looks fantastic. I know that for a fact.“They want to be doing what is best for the football club and John and Tim have done that.“It is not as if they have gone out and brought this on themselves being reckless and spending money.“This has come on because of a global pandemic so yes I have sympathy for that but I also have sympathy for a whole host of people.“People have lost their lives and there are businesses who can’t afford to run any more.“But if we are talking solely about football then I do have sympathy for John and Tim because I know for a fact that it is hurting them that they are having to do this.“I have been at this club long enough to know how they treat people and want them to be treated.“So when things like this are happening, it is really difficult for them as well.”Nicola Sturgeon told the Scottish Parliament that she had been informed of “serious injuries” following a major incident involving a derailment of a ScotRail passenger train in Stonehaven.Three people are now feared to have died and a number seriously injured after a train derailed near Stonehaven.A train has derailed near Stonehaven in Aberdeenshire.A night of dramatic weather has caused damage and disruption across the country.These eco friendly alternatives to everyday household items offer the best way to transform homes into ethical and sustainable havens. Dundee owner Tim Keyes admits the cost of running the club has been more than he initially bargained for but he is still determined to … I would like to see the new stadium.“I think if things were stagnant then maybe we would re-evaluate.“But with this coming in (Performance Centre) and hopefully getting the new stadium off the ground, will keep us here for the next five, 10, 15 years.”Keyes jets in to Scotland for Dundee games when he can but most of the time he views the club’s games back in the States on TV and he admitted what unfolded last season was a painful watch.He also confessed he was baffled that the Dark Blues still dropped out of the Premiership despite having a big budget.Keyes said: “It was very difficult and very painful.“But the most painful of all for us was I had seen a statistic somewhere that said we had the sixth highest payroll in the Premiership last year.“Then you see our results and I said to John (managing director Nelms), ‘How can we be relegated?’.“It was not like we weren’t spending the money to stay up. Everything was about building a Premiership squad that could stay there.“So what I would do if we were starting today is try to do something like this (Academy).“I think we took our eye off the ball with the Academy but after relegation we are going to do what we set out to do all those years ago and let’s do it right.“Now we have the facility and the brain trust behind it, we can do it the way we want to.Another harsh lesson that Keyes has absorbed is that last summer’s recruitment, bringing in a whole host of players with no experience of Scottish football, was a big mistake.Keyes added: “The second thing is that you learn you can’t just write cheques and think you will succeed.“So I think I would be a little smarter about player valuation and scouting.“I think we went too far trying to find a diamond in the rough in Europe.“We probably should have just tried to find the best quality Scottish or English players and focused on that.“So we got a little side-tracked on our player selection.“I don’t want to name any names but why did we bring in players from the continent?“Some did OK here but for the most part our successes have been Kane Hemmings, Greg Stewart and Jack Hendry, players from Scotland and England that we identified and built up.While Keyes insists he cannot continue constantly writing cheques, he did admit that funds could become available if the circumstances dictated.Keyes said: “We had the budget set and then Kane Hemmings became available.“I knew him from when we had him before so I said, ‘Let’s increase the budget a little bit to bring in Kane’.“So I would say that the budget is always fixed but flexible if there is such a thing!”Dundee are obviously looking to return to the Premiership at the first time of asking but Keyes is fully aware there are no guarantees that will happen.He said: “We want to go back up but it is not imperative that we do.“Our goal obviously is to get back up but it would not be the end of the world if we don’t.”
