Shane 338 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Official StatementCLUB STATEMENT21 June 2012Dundee United tonight met with Supporters' groups to discuss the newco situation prior to the all club vote on the proposal to transfer Rangers share on 4th July.Following what was a robust and constructive meeting, the Club's position on how we will vote was substantiated by the viewpoint of the various supporters groups. The meeting finished with all in agreement as to what the correct course of action would be.The Board of Directors of Dundee United are unequivocal in the belief that a form of sporting punishment must form part of the reasoning behind any decision made and, therefore, cannot vote the newco into the SPL. General sporting integrity and, more importantly, the integrity of Scottish football must also play a significant part in the decision making process. It is our belief that any form of sporting punishment must be unambiguous in the message it displays.The financial well being of the Club, both in the short and long term, must also be at the forefront of our thoughts. We would encourage our supporters to purchase season ticket books as a show of support to our Club. The Board of Directors will act in the best interest of Dundee United and our supporters and Scottish football on this matter. The financial consequences of not showing this support for our Club are extremely serious.I wonder how many additional season books they need to cash in to make up for lost revenue...Fuck them all.

ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 This is all utter shite. Why are the going to there fans don't talk utter shite we no your going to vote no why don't you just do it?Instead of fucking about? "sporting integrity" has been doing the rounds these past few months. Is this a new word that Dundee united have just learnt?Where was this "sporting integrity" they speak about when they charged Rangers fans extra money for a match they already watched for 45 minutes until is got called off. They charged Rangers fans more money when they said they wouldn't but the united fans where the same price. Where was "sporting integrity" in they days?

We will get through this. Will they? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemdog 39,389 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Don't say yes to Division 1 Rangers. Do not do pander to the needs of those who have consistently kicked us while we have been down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemdale1873 167 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Why waste our time waiting another 2 weeks to be told no anyway, withdraw our bid right now Mr Green don't give anyone the satisfaction of leaving us in limbo.We have only 2 options now SFL3 or try for a move to England and we better hurry up and make our minds up about which it is pre-season starts soon. Waiting around in the forlorn hope that the micky mouse teams change their minds at the last minute will only make it more likely that Rangers don't play in any league next season.No if's or but's now Green it's time to make the call.....and you better hurry up...

Marco Negri's Beard 1,423 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Green should be planning for lower divisions already. No point whatsoever in waiting another 2 weeks for the vote Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
