ArabFC Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Keep: Zwick - back up Paton - captain Donaldson - starter next season Rankin - not sure if he'll stay Murray - bench player Durnan - this is his level Spittal - starter next season Telfer - keep him till December at least see if he's good enough Fraser - hopefully he's better than tonight's performance Punt everyone else I could honestly fcuking cry!

Granny Danger Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Or he could cut his losses (obviously not his losses - he's been rather generously compensated for his work at the club) and f**k off now. I saw it reported the other day that the Thompson family's total spend on the club is now at approximately £4M. Most of that will be accounted for in the purchase of the shares in the first place. If those shares aren't now worth what they paid for them then they've no one to blame but themselves. Eddie Thompson surely didn't think that his family would be making money from the club. He bought himself a few years in the big chair and then passed on a very lucrative career to his son as Chairman of a football club. That's not bad value for £4M. Easy for me to say, of course, but I reckon they've had just about as much out of United as they can expect and would do well to leave the scene with a little bit of their dignity intact. As of the last set of published accounts the nett asset value of the club was £3.3 million, that includes the loans to the football trust that never get paid but just get written off over a period of time, so it could be argued that it's really more. I think ST holding is 53%. Don't know about you but I wouldn't walk away from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarto Mutiny Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Why Dundee United fans would consider keeping any of your players is beyond me. Every one of them are horrendous and they will struggle in the championship. I agree. I'd be inclined to get rid of each and every one of them. The ones with talent either don't care or are as soft as fresh shite, and the ones that do care cannot play football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather I'm suggesting that he needs to be realistic about whether his family can expect to get all their money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishtergrolsch Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Keep: Zwick - shite but under contract Szromnik - shite but under contract Paton - shite but under contract Donaldson - shite but under contract Murray - shite but under contract Durnan - shite but under contract Spittal - shite but under contract Telfer - shite but under contract Fraser - shite but under contract Dixon - might improve with decent manager and used correctly but if not then shite but under contract Dillon - shite but under contract. Nice guy though. Have I missed anyone? If so they are shite but under contract. That list gives me the boakey fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aladdin Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I would keep Fraser, Spittal, Paton, Murray, Ofere and incredibly Durnan and Donaldson. I actually think those 2 could be useful in the championship but we need a squad of streetwise pros that know what the league is about. Obviously we won't be able to punt half the shite we have on our books but one can dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would agree with all of that other than Ofere; also agree about Durnana and Donaldson - they both have potential. I assume Telfer is still under contract, I'd keep him and offer John Rankin a new deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how season ticket sales are going. This is only the second season I've delayed buying ours; the last time was the Sevco debacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aladdin Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Yeah there's little to no chance of Ofere staying, just think he would be useful in the championship and a striker that you can hoof long balls to, which seems to be the extent of our game plan. Would recall Telfer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
