tree house tam Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 How good is the young lad Mochrie? One of my pals is related to him and he is always on about how he's a future Scotland star, is he right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my pals is related to him and he is always on about how he's a future Scotland star, is he right?The club have huge hopes for him but we’ve seen little of him in the first team. He had been linked with a move to England last year, similar to Banks who ended up at Palace, but he has a long deal so hopefully he hangs about and gets a bit of game time next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's obviously proud of the laddie and is always showing highlight reels of him for Scotland n that, was just wondering what the actual fans thought, cheers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 That list of players Neilson signed: add Rakish Bingham, another uninspiring choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always impossible to tell until they break into the first team. Louis Appere, I'd never heard of until he was shipped off on loan to the juniors (at 19or20), but back he came and looks to have developed into a player. Ali Coote on the other hand was rated as a talent from very early on, was a standout for Scotland at all age groups, until he broke into the first team, didn't impress all that much and has been most recently been spotted at Waterford. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewartyftd1 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Steven Presley on the Scottish football podcast talking some amount of shite! Saying there is worries about the money we will spend and our finances?? Also said Hearts will spend money. This is a a club that have just been cost cutting while we haven’t. Absolute moron honestly! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think its a good idea to have good coaches over a far reaching manager role. In this day and ages it's much less common to have one man pulling all the strings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thankfully he was easily convinced. I think the fact that Ogren said to Neilson "If you want to speak to them then theres no future for you here. We only want people who want to be at this club" would have put things into perspective for Neilson too. 15 minutes ago, ArabianKnight said: True. But I think its a good idea to have good coaches over a far reaching manager role. In this day and ages it's much less common to have one man pulling all the strings. Exactly. It gives continuity and stability when a manager does go. It's also why Levien and Wright wouldn't work well under the clubs new structure. Unless they were willing to change the way they work, of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of rumours have been around for a while about United's debt and whether or not it is actually being paid off or just moved to Ogren himself. Those rumours started long before you were posting losses of £4m. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those rumours started long before you were posting losses of £4m. That’s the problem with rumours though. They don’t originate anywhere specifically and pick up traction very quickly. Before you know it we are in financial difficulties without any real evidence pointing to it being true. A couple of tweets here and there can start a narrative that has little substance. I have absolutely no clue what our finances look like, but neither does anyone else. My gut feeling? We are running at a big loss and need the Premiership (plus a couple of seasons of success in selling assets and doing well) to plug that gap. We are completely reliant on Ogren being two things - truthful and wealthy. But many other clubs are in a similar boat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those rumours started long before you were posting losses of £4m. Dundee fans have been circulating rumours about United’s impending financial meltdown pretty much since their own admin. Sorry, their own FIRST admin. Sometimes there will have been substance to the rumours, but others will have been a complete fabrication based on nothing more than bitter wishful thinking. Im sure times are tight at Tannadice, but I’ve not seen anything specific to make me think that we’re in any more trouble than pretty much every other club in Scotland right now. In fact, if anything I’ve seen more positive signs with United than most others - 5,000 season tickets sold, rumours of transfer fees being paid for players. Plus we have at least 1 very sellable asset in the playing squad right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
