Guest Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 On a slightly different note, just reading that Dundee U have went back to their fans for more bail out money (£100K 2nd time) While no one can argue that the Pandemic has caused serious financial implications for all clubs, the statement released just sums up why Scottish football is f........d. Paying Shankland £6K a week and actively looking to strengthen before the transfer window closes. ”“Mr Ogren said that United were in a unique situation in that he had invested a lot more money than he expected to win promotion and he did not have a contingency fund to draw on for the unforeseen Covid-19 crisis and the drastic reduction in income that this has caused.”YipWe have two managers and a managers coach so we are no exception 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they allow us to commence leagues 1&2, it will most likely be end of February at best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had we been able to bring in a few decent players and gotten rid of some of the shite we have I'd have been a bit more optimistic. Sadly going with the same squad I think that's exactly what will happen. Your really banking on Holt being some sort of miracle worker hoping he can get a tune out the managers and the players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's excellent in midfield and his non-stop running and composure is a joy to watch. He lost out to being our PotY last season due to a split decision and Paul McGowan getting it out of loyalty. He's by far the best CH on our books too. I'm sure one of you will take the opportunity of the tap in of saying, 'That's not saying much because you're pish' but he's one of about 3 players in our whole squad I'd want to be in our team if we made it back to the Prem. Been a top player for us. I assume that Jakubiak's injured? Doesn't seem to have ben mentioned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee Utd and Andy Mill at Raith essentially just went begging to supporters, a number of so, I’d imagine would be furloughed or at risk of redundancy but would feel pressured to help the club they love. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 We have two managers whose combined wages won’t even touch what the previous two chancers (and associate coaches) were on. We’ve appointed a DOF who we’ve all been crying out for after the disastrous decisions of the previous board. Considering that the new board don’t take any salaries from the club, a DOF is surely a wise investment?[emoji23][emoji23]You surely don’t believe we now have 3 people earning less than McKinnon ? And no I wouldn’t have a DOF either 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a top player for us. We never really used him in midfield but that might suit him better. He was never great at the back. Bit too soft to play centrehalf and used to get bullied physically especially in a back 4. Was a bit better in a back 3. Not a good enough crosser of the ball to play full back either. Was our captain when we went down and was as culpable as any of them. Edited January 23, 2021 by Shadwell Dog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rawlins seemed to be behind the need for a dof too or surely they would have not got involved in the employment process. I love how united are crawling to their fans when there is 2 million quid of loans available from the government. But of a cheek that in the current climate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An experienced manager would take away the need short term 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
