Jamie_B Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 If it becomes clear before the vote that Newco will not get the required eight votes, surely ALL the chairmen will vote against? It would be utter suicide to vote yes if you knew it was never going to pass - imagine it went 9-3 against with only Rangers and, say, Kilmarnock and Inverness voting yes. Killie and ICT fans would justifiably be outraged and subject to massive criticism and boycott from all sides. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~~~ Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 'Stolen' as in let them develop them and used their financial advantage to buy them or offer them better contracts. Not literally breaking into Easter Road and making off with Scott Brown. But then you knew that I'm sure. Just rank hypocrisy for a Celtic fan complaining about the SPL losing talent to the EPL because of financial superiority which weakens our league. Replace the EPL with Celtic in that sentence and I'm sure the outrage wouldn't be quite as much So name these players? You seem to be under the impression SPL clubs can't refuse our offers, or If we didnt sign any player in the SPL on a pre contract, he was going to be staying at the club, when they would more likely move to England, as these player let the contract run down for a reason. Scott Brown - £4.4m scottish transfer record. and considering everyone seems to think he's shite anyways, you could argue Hibs had the last laugh on that one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBR Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hopefully they'll tell the newco to f**k off to the seaside leagues. Would increase my respect for Dundee Utd to a new level. They can f**k off with that idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Wutherspoon Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 http://www.dundeeunitedfc.co.uk/index.asp?tm=2&nid=4224&cd=2012 The Board of Directors of Dundee United are unequivocal in the belief that a form of sporting punishment must form part of the reasoning behind any decision made and, therefore, cannot vote the newco into the SPL. General sporting integrity and, more importantly, the integrity of Scottish football must also play a significant part in the decision making process. It is our belief that any form of sporting punishment must be unambiguous in the message it displays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerstly Borate Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) Dundee United tonight met with Supporters' groups to discuss the newco situation prior to the all club vote on the proposal to transfer Rangers share on 4th July Following what was a robust and constructive meeting, the Club's position on how we will vote was substantiated by the viewpoint of the various supporters groups.

Granny Danger Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Nobody, nowhere, nohow, however hard they tried to, could possibly out-Vlad Vlad!! He could ask Dundee Barry to write his statement. That would at least be on a par. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeRed Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 You do realise that we've had to put up with them for years and years and years? I do, and I can appreciate why you'll be desperate to get rid of them but what have we done to deserve them? Out of business no newco; how good would that be and welcome Spartans/Gala Fairydean..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God of War Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 No to what?. Rangers haven't approached them with any offer, due to the fact they have nothing to offer. Bury are only replying in the hypothetical tense. I posted some comments from Bury chairman Brian Fenton a couple of pages back, at the time that was posted the article was 3hrs old, I take it you didn't read it?. No mate, any offer. Made, implied, anything. Their chairman said no. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
