tallpaul Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 No I don't. Even if I did I wouldn't buy a football club. The latest set of accounts show the club with a net value of about £4 million, any trading loss this season will be more than covered by the money from Ciftci, McGowan and Souttar that weren't included in the last set of accounts. Can't see the present shareholders selling it for less than that, plus any buyer would need some further capital. Mmm don't think so Granny. The next question asked was regarding the comment earlier that the club will make a net loss for this financial year. The shareholder spoke about the post balance sheet event regarding the sales of Nadir Ciftci, John Souttar and Ryan McGowan which the club anticipate will provide a profit on these transfers of approximately £1.2m and therefore projected operating losses would be higher than £1.2m. The shareholder then asked if they have factored potential semi final money into their assumption that would lead to a loss for the current financial year. Stephen Thompson said that income is also down on the previous year by £1.1m. To which the shareholder responded by saying in the last seven or eight years it has varied by 10-15% and therefore a drop in the region of 20% appears quite a large drop.

chazas_ Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I'm boycotting. I think Dundee fans are ill mannered and it'ss about time attention was brought to that fact. The last time I was there a member of 'the Derry' was allowed to run all the way across the pitch to the Dundee keeper who stood just in front of our fans. I'm not willing to put my life in danger like that again. It's only a game of football at the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 You think so - mmmmmm Mmm don't think so Granny. The next question asked was regarding the comment earlier that the club will make a net loss for this financial year.

I reckon the Ciftci, Souttar and McGowan money will cover this year's operating losses or at least the bulk of them. Either way it's a wee bit like the Panama Papers story getting distracted by the story about David Cameron's dad. The initial point I made, which I stand by, is that United has a balance sheet value in excess of £4 million and I don't think there's many out who would want to pay that for the club. Is there anyone who disagrees with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Rent Dippidy Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 ImageUploadedByPie & Bovril1461010951.437966.jpg sounds like a plan Ooft. Anyone with that mentality must read stuff like this and think, yeah, that's the right way for our club. Let's blame the market. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2003/dec/04/newsstory.sport16 People motivated enough to organise events like boycotts seldom appreciate the bigger picture. The rest of us just pick a team and enjoy the ride. Only a game after all. #yourteam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinkle Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Typical arab...#noheart Been to 95% of the games home and away this season however i doubt i could handle watching us get relegated at Dens.

Chateau Lafite Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 And it isn't outwith the realms of possibility that you might win at dens ??? Given the Dark Blue capitulation at Ibrox and New Douglas Park when the stakes were big, the United victory is quite likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Can we win? Yes. Will we win? Highly unlikely. As things stand Dundee has a better squad, a better manager and the players look like they've actually met one another. Given our inability to lift ourselves in the last two crucial matches against ICT and Hibs I cannot see us taking anything out of the derby.

K.T Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 As mentioned though, we Hibs it every time we have to win. I'll be putting money on a united win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
