DUNDEE chairman and director Bill Colvin has stepped down from both roles in order to concentrate on his other business interests.
A shareholder along with his wife Pam since 2011 and chairman for the past two years, Colvin will be succeeded as a director by Tim Keyes, subject to his passing the SFA's fit-and-proper-person test.
"The football club is in a much better financial position and a more stable managerial position than it was when Pam first got me involved back in late 2010, early 2011," Colvin said on the Dundee website yesterday. "This season's top-six SPFL finish is where this club should be and I was delighted to see all the hard work done by [managing director] John Nelms, [manager] Paul Hartley and the rest of the team at Dens Park paying off for the fantastic Dee fans."
The club added: "Bill has a large and varied number of business commitments both in the UK and overseas which have greatly restricted his time availability for the football club." His shares have been acquired by other members of the Football Partners Consortium.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
