Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, not sure how accurate it is and I know we don't particularly care about this tadger. Also, I'm not sure if he is planning to sell Utd if indeed the below is true. However the potential dual ownership issue is pretty interesting. I know some fans wouldn't want Ashley increasing his stake with us however the apparent hypocrisy is surely here for all to see. Even if Tadger Thompson's plan isn't to own both, the lack of media, SFA, SPFL outrage/statements is rather telling IMO......The sale of Australian club Newcastle Jets to Dundee United owner Stephen Thompson has moved a stage closer.The Tannadice owner, who was in Australia recently to meet Jets officials, flew to London on Thursday for further talks about the deal.But, while discussions are at an advanced stage, the move could fall foul of Scottish Football Association rules on dual ownership.Any such move would require the approval of the SFA's main board.Thompson would be required to seek approval from the board under the rules governing dual ownership and would need to provide a detailed business plan, along with certain guarantees on issues such as shareholding and fiduciary responsibilities.In December, the SFA rejected Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley's request to raise his shareholding in Rangers International Football Club to 29.9%The Jets franchise has been for sale for some time, with owner Nathan Tinkler keen to offload the club that finished seventh in the A-League last season.Jets officials travelled to England more than three months ago to seek out interested parties in the sale of the club.It led to negotiations with Thompson, who owns just over 51% of the Scottish Premiership club.

BridgeIsBlue 66,604 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 If Sarver bought us then tried to buy a club in Straya do you think the SFA would keep quiet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelavic191 4,399 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I was wondering how he could do this while owning Dundee Hibs as its not any different to Mike Ashley and us. Although is he not on the SFA board? or maybe its the SPFL board.Surely if they allow it then they are opening doors for MA to take control here?

mrmojorisin 13,608 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Dunno if the dual ownership would affect this as its a team on a different continent there is no conflict regarding cup competitions Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LineysLament 182 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 He can't. SFA Article 13 definition of a club is one that has membership of an association that is part of EUFA and/or FIFA. Couldn't cut and paste sorry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Maybe he will sell up Dundee Utd then and move to Australia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Educator 1,572 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Makes you wonder what must be going through the minds of the DU fans as their best players are either signing pre-contract agreements or are looking at being sold over the next six months and what is the club owner doing ? He's pissing off to Australia to buy another club, and quite possibly with the finance being generated by the sale of their players just as they thought they might have an outside tilt at the league. Never mind though they're probably so busy hating us that they haven't noticed what's going on in front of them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
