John Nelms wants to try and take the Scottish top flight stateside again after suggested Hoops clash across the pond never happened
Dundee chief John Nelms has revealed he wants to have another crack at playing a Premiership game in the United States.
The Dundee managing director said: “Is it something we’d look at again? Yes, we’re open to all of these things. We’re in the entertainment business so anything we can do to entertain, we’d certainly do that. That project nearly happened, it was very, very close. It would have been fantastic for everybody, financially for the football club, for the eyes that you’d get on the game, everything we thought that that would be fantastic for.
Nelms admitted the American MLS sides were wary about allowing foreign teams to play league games on their soil because of the huge interest in Mexican football in the US. Nelms added: “In the United States, their concern was the Mexican League potentially playing a lot of their games because of the loopholes that we found and how we could make it happen.
Nelms is fully aware that there are still daunting obstacles to be overcome before any Premiership game could be played in the States. He added: “There are an enormous amount of hoops to jump through. It’s FIFA, it’s UEFA and the local leagues.
