I can't remember the last time we had a player that scored a rake of goals for us since John Daly. Eh Lawrence Shankland? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alert Mongoose Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I'm probably exaggerating but wasn't about 50% of Shankland's goals from the penalty spot? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the 40 goals he scored for United only 3 were penalties. (https://www.arabarchive.co.uk/player.php?id=1958) Nicky Clark was always the best penalty taker during Shankland's time at United. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabianKnight Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Some twitter rumours doing the rounds. Owner of Brentford looking to buy United. Bit more firm this one but Sibbald going to be signing an extension. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spot on Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 But I thought folk can’t have involvement with two different clubs at the same time ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alert Mongoose Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Comes on the heels of Bournemouth trying to buy into Hibs. There's obviously some rule change or FFP advantage to going down this route. It doesn't sound like it will be of any benefit to us anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabianKnight Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Apparently Hibs are getting a ruling tomorrow or something? Think the SFA/SPFL are looking at changing the rules 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Bull run Leipzig, Salzburg, New York and more. The City group have umpteen teams around the globe. The guy who owns Brighton also has the club in Belgium that Shankland signed for. It’s only a problem if 2 teams owned by the same company qualify for the same European competition, and even that gets overlooked most of the time (eg Salzburg & Leipzig). https://www.espn.co.uk/football/story/_/id/38008353/the-issues-multi-club-ownership-city-football-group-red-bull 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 (edited) Would a link up with Brentford turn off the tap of superstars flowing from Fulham? Edited December 13, 2023 by invergowrie arab 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pull My Strings Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I think the only prohibition currently is multiple teams with the same ownership competing in the same European competition, but even that doesn't seem to be enforced. Benham used to also own FC Midtjylland until fairly recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That alone should illustrate why he wouldn't touch us with a bargepole. In the right hands, you could turn around most clubs in the four national divisions below the Premier League and make them reach the promised lands where oodles of cash await. Bournemouth and Luton both have grounds with smaller capacities than Tannadice. In the right hands, you could turn us around and get us finishing 3rd in the Premiership every year and possibly turn out the merest of profits - and that's dream scenario stuff. Only fools with cash to spare will invest in Scottish fitba. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
