"The profit of £1.3m on the sale of players while maintaining on-field success and maintaining a strong, competitive squad was achieved by sporting director Tony Asghar and the football department."

ISTR Ashgar is not universally beloved by Utd fans?

Accounts out https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63743579 and show 
 

No doubt the bluenose accountancy crew will be along any second.

I don't know how much of a positive this really is. After all, Dundee fans have been warning about our imminent financial collapse since the early 2000s. Let's just get through tomorrow without going into administration first before we start cheering at these results.

Asghar is exactly what he needs to be - the main scapegoat when things aren't going well, and a man to be praised when they are

Will need a proper break down of the accounts, but interesting to note the club have increased revenue so well. 

Wonder if the increased season tickets this year will help a lot if no ones sold in the summer (doubtful Levitt won't be sold and couple clubs are sniffing about academy boys again).

If we get an offer of anywhere over a million I'd imagine Mr Levitt will be shot with a tranquilliser dart, bundled into the back of Tonys motor and wake up after being dumped outside some backwater stadium in middle England somewhere while Tony batters off back up the road with a boot full of fivers.

It's fucking shite that we'll never see a group of young guys come through into the first team like Gauld, Souttar, Armstrong etc. 

We'll be lucky to see the odd player here and there make it before they're snapped up by artificially inflated Sky money financial behemoth nothing clubs like West Bromington Red or Derbyshire Blue or some such shite down south.

But the club will drop its knickers to the first few hundred grand offer it gets and crow about the successful youth player pathway academy system we have while we watch terrible stuff on the pitch.

#unitedinpursuit though.

Cup tie at home v the students. Might have been more interesting if it had been away from home. Stirling Uni are top of the Lowland League if you ignore the B teams.

Will be a tougher game than a lot of people expect. They beat League 2 Albion Rovers away from home in the last round, beat 'moneybags', high flying Darvel a couple weeks ago and as you say, aside from the B team pish, would be top of their league.

Would still expect United to win and would be surprised if we didn't but we'll need to work for it.

Is Behich the first United player ever through to the knock-out stages of the World Cup?

Credit to Harry Souttar too.

Souttar has been immense the last 2 games, hopefully his performances will reignite the transfer interest that was there prior to his injury with Utd due 15% of some rather lofty valuations

Would be ironic if the club finally made some decent money... out of a deal that took place before the current owners came along.

Pernis was in the Slovakia squad in 2010 that got knocked out by the Netherlands in the last 16.

Assuming he plays, Behich will be the first United player to take the field in a knockout game at the World Cup
