Think it's more like players have to have business van insurance for doing them Tesco deliveries.

I know they've had a shit season but that's just Cruel and Unusual Punishment.  Who'd want to sign for them knowing they were going to have to live in that dump for the duration of their contract?

It's about time Dundee got a new ASDA.

Poundworld unfortunately out the equation, maybe the Poundshop will put in a bid. I reckon the United board could get at least 50p, and demand a seat in the new Poundshop canteen, and if the fan base stay loyal to the Poundshop Newco there'd be enough staff to man 2 tills.

I hope they have to buy two trolleys to get in

Probably about 250 grand as there is no way the filth got 7 million for him.

I suspect 2 and a half million is still generous.

Willo Flood’s Dunfermline contract terminated one week after signing for them.

To be fair, I'd rather go to Bali, than Dunfermline.

The taigs will probably have got about £5million for him, there's no way they could over-inflate it that much - it would get picked up on.

They've previous for including signing on fees and wages saved, so on that basis you're probably looking at the fee being roughly 25-30% out. (Armstrong is on roughly £20k p/w with them, and had 2 years left on his deal = £2million)

He was in his last year and I doubt he was on 20 grand a week.

Thats not how they supposedly did it, they include the cost of the players new contract at the new club in the fee, hence headlines like "this player will cost Southampton x amount of money" 

So if Armstrong got himself 20k a week down there for 4 years that's 4mill give or take, meaning the tarriers only sold him for 3mill

Dundee United have announced that former chairman Stephen Thompson has sold his majority shareholding in the club to a group of local businessmen.

Thompson had stood down as chairman in March and vowed to sell his stake, ending all formal ties with the club.

A proposed sale reportedly fell through earlier this week but new United chairman Mike Martin and a group of United fans have now taken on Thompson's shares ahead of the new season.

A statement on the club's official website read: "Dundee United Football Club today welcomes the news that club chairman Mike Martin, board director James Fyffe and two local Dundee businessmen, both of whom are also life-long Dundee United fans, have acquired the shareholding of former club chairman and director Stephen Thompson."

Mr Martin said: "This share transaction strengthens our current financial position and provides the solid platform required as we continue to progress long term investment opportunities."

Thompson had taken charge of United when his father Eddie Thompson passed away in October 2008 and presided over the club during a long spell in the top flight but also through relegation and a failure to return to the Premiership.

The controversial figure was criticised by many United fans over his approach to running the club during his time at Tannadice. He stepped down from the board in March to pursue his own business and sports ambitions.

 

Just fucking die already
