Melville tenders resignation. Can't imagine that will be too much of a bother for Dundee, as there's no way they could have been relying financially on an Aberdeen fan whose motivations for getting involved with DFC were always baffling. As posted on EFF.

Well, £1.3m and a team gets worse, better off without him. |

For the sake of bringing everyone up to speed, let's just fill in some of the backstory here.
Melville ran an oil services company that was bought by Cosalt, a bigger fish. Two weeks ago he was suspended, then resigned, from Cosalt "whilst the company carries out an internal review of the operating practices of the group's businesses in Aberdeen". (It is therefore not entirely clear who, in the court statement, "his employers" actually are). Yet, according to Dundee's CEO.
Oh dear. There may be a difference between what he expects and what transpires. |

Translation: Well, he didn't say he wouldn't continue to fund us when he said "I quit" and stormed out, so everything should be fine. *crosses fingers* |

Time for the return of an old friend, maybe? From the Sun, so it's probably nonsense, but interesting nonetheless.

As long as he brings back all his old mates, it's bound to work out. Burley for manager. |

Dundee can't help but provide endless entertainment, can they? Still, I hear they're signing Edgar Davids and James McFadden. Oh. |

They lost 2-1 to Cowdenbeath today. Stop sniggering at the back there. |

It would be easier to stop breathing. Leigh Griffiths got a consolation for Dundee. Yes, a consolation, for Dundee, against Cowdenbeath. |

Chisholm surely close to the edge now. Promotion not looking likely... wonder about relegation... |

There's bound to be at least one team worse than them, thanks to the managerial stylings of one Ian FcCall. |
