ShedruleFTD83 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) Official DUFC Statement "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. The meeting finished with all in agreement as to what the correct course of action would be. 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. The financial well being of the Club, both in the short and long term, must also be at the forefront of our thoughts. We would encourage our supporters to purchase season ticket books as a show of support to our Club. The Board of Directors will act in the best interest of Dundee United and our supporters and Scottish football on this matter. The financial consequences of not showing this support for our Club are extremely serious." Edited June 21, 2012 by ShedruleFTD83 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonMan Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Great news that Dundee Utd are saying no to the newco. My respect for them has just increased by a lot now. Well done to them! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I am all for going back to the 1980s and footballers earning £60 a week!! Correct. None of this £75 a week nonsense that Saints fork out nowadays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsome_Devil Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 So that's Hibs, United and Hearts confirmed as no with Motherwell effectively sure to follow. Inverness hinting towards no too while Celtic and Aberdeen will probably come down on that side shortly. It's effectively done...once it becomes clear five will vote no, the scramble to join the bandwagon will be incredible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Araminta Moonbeam QC Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Had a real fondness for Dundee United since I was a kid, what with their crazy European exploits. They haven't let me down. Well played. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blanco Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 What a lot of shite. Is it really as far fetched as it sounds, hypothetically speaking, on what grounds could the FA stop Carlisle relocating to Gretna. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DA Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 The United website (www.dundeeunitedfc.co.uk) has crashed by the look of it. A proud day! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTJ Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 To be honest, I think its almost certain newco won't get into the SPL. The big question for me is will they be admitted to the SFL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am beginning to now worry about the rumours of the 1st Division, it has to be 3rd or nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fife Saint Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Good clear statement from United. I'd urge all Arabs to push the importance of this to your floating support. We need everybody pulling together, the results will be worth it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
