Which is exactly what we need to take notice of. We have spoken at length about bringing through youth academy products and selling them when the time is right for good money as well as signing other players who use us as a stepping stone to the English money. Dundee Utd sold their academy products and foreign signings like Cifci for good money but it left them with a shell of a team that never recovered. We need to be careful if we sell Walker, Paterson, Nicholson, Djoum etc we have proper replacements lined up and we are careful not to sell them all at once leaving us with a team of players who don't know each other.

Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I think jamboinglasgow said it the other day but they really could have done with a DOF structure like ours instead of that suicidal commission set up.

communist Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 His inability to prepare substitutes, when a couple of Utd players were obviously injured and wanting off, then having a go at them when he eventually got round to organising a replacement was laughable.

iainmac Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I'm sure DUFC have previous for releasing statements then contradicting then shortly after. Newcastle Jets, the Aussie team that they were / weren't buying. Gavin Gunning. "left by mutual consent" except that he's still there apparently The Mixu mix up. There is also the dodgy situation where McNamara's contract situation was leaked to the press. Anyone know who's responsible for "Comms" at Tannadice?

When you look at the composition of their squad I fail to see how that's possible Mixu wage allegedly is ?4K a week and no relegation clause in his contract to allow Utd to bin him without paying that up, he will not walk unless a hefty payment is offered. Also, Billy Mackay is on ?15k a week at Wigan and Utd are picking up half of that as part of loan deal. Crazy !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUndee United (loan) On 27 August 2015, Dundee United agreed a fee of around ?200,000 with Wigan to sign Mckay.[65] He signed for Dundee United the following day, but on a season-long loan deal rather than a permanent contract having reportedly failed to negotiate a severance agreement with Wigan.[66] One day after signing for the club, Mckay made his debut in a 2?1 defeat away to Ross County.
