I'll bet the manager didn't come cheap either given his experience in England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midloth_Iain Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 5 minutes ago, Swanny17 said: Can someone C&P the article so I don’t have to open that rags website? DUNDEE UNITED have today opened talks with manager Micky Mellon and his players over drastic wage cuts. SunSport Online can reveal the cash-strapped Tannadice club are desperate to slash their salary bill. And they’ve approached boss Mellon, his backroom staff and players to ask them to accept a 20 percent drop in money until the end of the season. Crucially, though, it’s believed the club’s bid to halt spiralling costs does NOT include their summer signings. Ryan Edwards and Jeando Fuchs have been given big money contracts. But it’s understood the club doesn’t expect them to accept wage-cuts - which has left their team-mates stunned. Questions have also been asked given United have just recently signed one-time Scotland striker Marc McNulty on loan from Reading - which is understood to cost them around £5,000-a-week. As yet no agreement has been struck between the club and the United squad. But Tannadice chief Tony Ashgar is hopeful Mellon and his players will agree to the deal being proposed for the next six months. United’s serious cash worries have mounted because of the Covid-19 crisis with no gate money being earned. It’s heaped huge pressure on the club with boardroom bosses now left with no option but to look to slash costs. United have several players coming through their youth academy who are seen as big assets with kids Kerr Smith and Logan Chalmers being watched by a number of top clubs. The desperate situation could also see them forced to sell Scotland star Lawrence Shankland to the highest bidder when the January transfer window opens. Goalkeeper Benji Siegrist has also been attracting attention for his fine performances this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were at 133% wage to turnover ratio earlier in the year which is absolutely crazy but its bound to be higher now due to the current situation.

NANOJAMBO Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 This has made my day. Asgar poured scorn on the benefactor monies when he said "Ah feel like aw ma Chissmasses huv come at wance". And didn't bat an eyelid on the programme when he admitted DUFC had spent way more than they planned to get into the Prem and intended to spend more to stay there. Up him and his poxy club.

CloustonHMFC Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Imagine asking your squad to take pay cuts but telling them the new guys in the team don't have to.

TheBigO Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Don't worry gang, the Scottish football community will rally round them. Fraser Wishart and Tam McManus will hold a midnight vigil. Tony Fitzpatrick will say they should be gifted some points cis they probably would've stayed up. Raith will loan them some players. All good. We should hold a sponsored pishing oorsels, all donations to McNulty via Ladbrokes Edited October 28, 2020 by TheBigO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deid Heid Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I can't be the only one that thinks I hope Fraser Wishart is okay, we haven't heard a peep out of him since March, nothing about h1b5 little fiscuary "anomalies" re back pay and nothing about this. He must have more important work to do or is he only on call when it involves those "Pesky Hertz". Where is our man of the people standing up for workers rights in the face of rampant exploitation by their fat-cat employers? Gone off-piste? MIA?Drunk?Couldn't give a ****? Hypocrite...hmmm I think he's a douche-nozzle that, as far as a union rep goes, is a bit piss-poor at his job and choses silence over morality. What a doucher. And a Hypocrite.

I am aquiver with anticipation to hear from our "Man of the people" as to why, it would seem, that our simple measures were so derided yet so many others are casually reported in the media, in many instances more severe than any measure that Hearts have ever implemented (and often far less amicable) yet he only demands answers from Hearts via the meedja. I really would like to hear what he is doing in his members interests, as obviously, when it came to Hearts his criticism was very public (albeit misguided).
