I'd love some of whatever you've been smoking! As for the financial benefits, I fail to see where you're coming from. Why would the other clubs in the league benefit from a team who's auditors left last year due to the untenable position; who's assets are being held by numerous holding companies and have multiple loans secured against them; who have very few liquid assets and have relied of loans for day to day cashflow; have only a few players who aren't on short term deals or loan deals (no money to be made by having a fire sale); and have spent outside their means ever since they came down from the Prem, to the point they posted over £1.5 million loss last year. Add that to having a playing squad who have no coherence and are to reliant on players like Flood who are past their sell by date, and a manager with no tactical understanding at all and it doesn't bode well for a club who are "financially robust" (according to Thompson). I hate to see a club skirting close to administration, as I've been there when St. Mirren needed the stadium deal to survive, but United need to get rid of the "We're still the sixth biggest club in Scotland" mentality and accept the reality of the situation, you're a championship club and can't afford to keep throwing money about like you're top six in the big league. They need a wholesale clear-out (board down to the players) and start building from the bottom up. With a fanbase like you have you've got the best possible backing for a fresh start. My only reservation is that by moving all the assets to holding companies the club are already trying to insulate themsleves in the even that administration happens, and I don't see the rest of Scottish football being too forgiving after the SEVCO scenario. A well thought out and eloquently put post. Can't argue with that or a lot of the points you make. That being said, do you not think just a little bit that Szamo might just be a wee bit on the wind up????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came here to find out what thye hell was going on with this. Mental that DUFC haven't got a game on the 17th Feb. Pressure is on us to extend the lead when we can, I guess. That game at Livi will be a very tough match, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QotS are playing Morton that day and ICT v Crusaders is the following day. It's just unfortunate for Utd that the fixtures have fallen this way.

Stephen Thompson is to blame for making such a bizarre appointment. He must act immediately and sack Laszlo. Otherwise Dundee United face a bleak future or a very short future. Don't you dare talk about Shabba like that. He's doing a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll say it again, I'm quite aware of his trolling status as I've been on this site since 2007 but I don't see what's wrong with pointing and laughing at his underlying bitterness.
