Oh aye, 51% when Anderson and FoH £10m million donation is taken into account. p.s. I know exactly what I am talking about - it is that Hearts would be several million pounds in the red every year without the begging bowl. So you can hardly criticise Dundee Utd for spending to get out of the seasides..............mind you, thats exactly what you will be doing next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 “No club should be disproportionately disadvantaged as a result of this crisis, but we’ll take you to court to stop you getting promoted, then try to steal your manager.” Right you are, Ann. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabFC Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Crazy to think that this will be only the second time (in living memory) that United have had a manager pinched. The first time there was tears aplenty - this time just shrugs of the shoulders. Bring back the tearjerker! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futureboy Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Not that bothered if Robbie goes, as long as we get a solid replacement. Total shithousery by Hearts, although that comes as no surprise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Some balls from Hearts. Two days ago they're sending a letter to United saying they're taking them to court and they want their place in the top flight. Today, they phone up Ogren to ask permission to speak to their manager, Ogren rolls over and has his belly tickled and Hearts bring Neilson back to Tynecastle before supper. Outstanding scenes. Anyway, I'll get the latest poll up once it's official. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainkev Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 As @Alert Mongoose said, the timing's not ideal, and we could easily go onto make a disasterous appointment of Mixu-levels from here. But I'm nowhere near as annoyed at this news as I'd expect to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not criticising Dundee United, I was pointing out the irony of a you calling Dundee United a "well run club" while constantly criticising Hearts' "over spending". You've since completely proven my point by reeling off the usual clichés about benefactors and FoH. You don't seem to be able to distinguish between "over spending" and "having a large amount of money to spend" either, but that's by the by. This is now a thread about us pinching Dundee United's slightly underwhelming but fairly solid manager in amusing circumstances, so maybe we should get it back on topic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabianKnight Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) Not bothered in the slightest about this, although I don't bear Robbie any ill will, I'm not fussed if he goes. Main priority will be getting a decent manager in which in the current circumstances could end up being really difficult or land us someone we would never otherwise have been able to get!

Gibby82 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Quite funny really. Scottish Football is aff its nut. Pretty much nonplussed by this. Was never entirely convinced by Neilson, and suspect that’ll be the mood amongst most United fans. Hopefully he takes Pawlett with him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinkle Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 6 figure compo fee being dished around. Not bad for a club who have cut everyones wages. Im not Neilsons biggest fan (understatement) but if he goes and we get a healthy fee that could be used to get Nisbet in, then i wont be shedding many tears. We need to make sure his replacement is decent though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not ironic, its factual. For Dundee Utd it was a short term necessity to get out the Championship, and they will sell Shankland at some point for a lot of cash. For hearts it is endemic, spending cash you dont actually generate is your USP, its why you went into admin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
