Only to end up over budget and plead for everyone to take a paycut? What a shambles of a football club they are. I've never been that keen on them anyway, even less now. I hope they go down the swanny, preferably this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suds66 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Just another club with absolutely no shame, clearing spending way beyond their means. Utd, like many of those rancid clubs who wanted to harm HMFC had no foresight regarding this pandemic and probably thought things would be back to normal in no time. I have no sympathy for them, not one ounce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can all feck off. Imagine the UK government agreeing to bail out football clubs that sign players on £5k/week and not feed kids during holiday. That’s not a vote winner in my book.

JoeHarper Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 10 hours ago, Lone Striker said: I think many (not all) football clubs are acting just like the pubs now. Easier to blame the government instead of their customers. Despite rates of infections/hospitalisation/deaths rising as we head into winter, they're claiming that it's got nothing to do with them just because they've put measure in place to reduce the risk of cross-infection among customers & staff. None of them are willing to acknowledge that the main reason for all these restrictions in the first place is because a section of the population are pure & simple numpties who can't be trusted to follow the basic rules of protecting themselves and those around them when they gather in groups at venues (like pubs and football matches) 300 house parties per week for the police to try to break up - it seems some folk think it's just a cold that you can take a Lemsip for. !00%. Apathy has well and truly sunk in and we're heading for another lockdown in a matter of weeks, you only have to look at France, we won't be far behind. I sadly know of, and have witnessed several house parties/gatherings where I live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to figure this out. “But I don’t want to scare people into thinking we’re going away because that is not the case. "We’re going to figure this out but we’ll need help from the government, our fans and everybody at the club. “The first phase we had budgeted for so we anticipated it but we didn’t budget for this second phase. “It has no effect on my commitment to Dundee United.

To that extent I have sympathy for Dundee United and every other club except Celtic. There should never have been a corrupt vote to start with. As a consequence, they now have their 3rd biggest club and its supporters on liquidation watch. I'm very surprised smaller clubs haven't gone to the wall already but following their decision to penalise Partick and us in the teeth of a worldwide deadly pandemic, the more financial pain they're experiencing the happier I am.

You know, the talking shop that was more important than reconstruction and a common, collective plan to help all of the clubs survive the pandemic. Too much of Scottish football was consumed by greed, short sightedness, spite and tribalism to come together. Instead, they sneered at how funny it would be to demote Hearts, Thistle and Stranraer, and deny other clubs their rightful sporting chance of progression. The JRG, SPFL and SFA have had 10 months to brain storm potential income streams and any other radical ideas to get Scottish football through this. It seems the only entity not losing money, within Scottish football, is Neil Doncaster, the vastly overpaid company secretary. Scottish football will get what it deserves.

There’s a lot of media, pundits and individuals within Scottish football who don’t have time for Anne Budge. A lot of it stems from her trying to challenge the status quo. On the flip side she does come across as condescending at time’s which rubs people up the wrong way. However she has been right about this all along and it’s staggering how many clubs have played this wrong. Surely anyone with even an ounce of commercial acumen would know to plan for the worst case scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maroon tinted glasses 2 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Brilliant news this and at some point they are bound to roll out the "its unfair for us to be punished due to covid"......................................... Suck it up buttercup, as the masterminds behind Scottish Football set a precedent earlier in the year by deciding that clubs CAN be punished due to the pandemic. I honestly hope that every single player who is asked to drop their salary tells them to bolt as the club was overspending before the transfer window then overspent even more by bringing in players they couldnt afford.

Nookie Bear Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 So they expect Shankland to take a 20% wage cut, having single-handedly got them promoted, and Mcnulty to keep his £5k/week? Regardless of the current Covid situation, if Dundee Utd go into admin they deserve as much sympathy as we got (i.e. nothing) for their overspending. Complete mismanagement.
