Pull My Strings Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I think you're deliberately downplaying the seriousness of the situation here, GPS. We are in deep shit and face a fight just to keep our proud institution club alive. The wee house wi' the sheds oot the back must stay open!

To be fair, some rockets in our own support have been predicting huge financial difficulties for a couple of years. Presently, as I understand it, we are losing a large sum every week in operating costs, but another loan has become available to prevent immediate financial disaster. However, this is unsustainable in the long term, and a "fans/sponsors/ex players" group is attempting meaningful communications with the club, with a view to eventual takeover. Personally, I have reservations about this, as we have a much smaller fan base than the likes of Hearts, who are being held up as a future model.

Personally, I have reservations about this, as we have a much smaller fan base than the likes of Hearts, who are being held up as a future model. I think it is accepted that we are operating at a loss (but so are the majority of clubs). We have however got a Premiership style infrastructure in terms of staff and overall budget so it is not sustainable if we remain in this league for more than a year or two. What we do have though is a strong and fairly sizeable (in relevant terms) support. I've always felt that we would be able to raise enough interest and finance if the worst was on the horizon.

stumigoo Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 A couple of features on ArabZone with Sean Dillon regarding his ten years. This was the lineup in his first game for us - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who told you about the loan?As I understand it, it's the fact it isn't available that's causing the current panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporter representatives have been told about the loan, and some of the sums involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I'd thoroughly recommend the Dillon interview for his United 11. I think it is available free via ArabZone. It has however made me fucking miserable about how shite we are now compared to many of the years that Dillon has been at the club. Some of the footage and images are a reminder of the good old days of even just a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
