I recall similar scenes outside Tannadice in the last days of Jim 'don't you offer me that' McLean's reign. The result of that was that Utd ended up with the Thompsons.

Derryman Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Dabs administration to be announced this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Maynard Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Dabs administration to be announced this week Thats the talk o the steamie this morning. If it were to happen I think it would be a "pre-pack" style administration - all the deals are done before the company goes into administration. All th assists are transferred and then the old company liquidated. ( according to the Internet) So there's a cheerie though for all the Derry wanks on here.

Pull My Strings Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 For anyone who stayed right until the end today you would have seen the United squad acknowledge the fans at the end and apologise for what has unfolded this season. By squad however I mean Dillon, Paton and Rankin; the only players that I actually feel sorry for and the only players that made an effort to effectively say sorry to the fans after the final whistle. ... To be fair, Spittal also came over to acknowledge the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I'm surprised we've all played 34 games and United aren't down yet. They seem to get pumped every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Maynard Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 What's the source of this? No need to panic GD, just a lot of talk amongst disgruntled Arabs and me speculating. I've mentioned it before, if you were to do it, you'd do it that way. ST is in a bind. In the premiership. United is a good earner for him, and he can helpfully make money from player sales. That was the plan. Where we are now , we will haemorrhage money, and have a reduced income coming in. So no way to balance the books. This route would allow him to reduce player costs through admin, and start fresh with a much smaller cheaper squad/ operation. But he'd risk a massive backlash from fans and ongoing protests. As I say just me speculating. We have no need to worry as we have jacksons guarantee in the back pocket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeboy Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) It would be hilarious if Dundee United ended up in admin after the way Thompson spoke of Rangers when they died. Edited April 25, 2016 by Deeboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say just me speculating. We have no need to worry as we have jacksons guarantee in the back pocket! I'm not sure you've thought this through. Most fundamentally, a pre pack would see the club (or a new club, if that's your perception) start again in League 2 (if lucky). That's hardly going to help balance the books. Then there's the loss of credit facilities and the irreparable damage to relationships with the local business community. And the broken relationships with the sympathetic investors who are now the major creditors of the club. Then there's the loss of future revenue from the Robertson, Gauld etc. transfers - that'd go to the creditors of the old company. The whole thing just makes absolutely no sense.

Ranaldo Bairn Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 It would, but they more than likely would not die, just suffer a humiliating administration. Ours was extremely harrowing, but at least we paid 100p/£. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not panicking, I just wondered if there was even the slightest amount of credibility to this speculation and it appears there isn't. Very few people will know the details of the club's present finances but there was a suggestion recently, posted on here I think, that ST had paid of loans that were accruing lower interest whilst retaining loans to himself/his family that had higher interest rates. If that's the case and he's a major creditor then he won't achieve much through administration. There is also the fact that there's separate charges over Gussie Park and Tannadice secured by these physical assets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
