Essandoh 21,193 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Rumours seem to be flying about that the investors are in cahoots with the Americans that own Dundee despite assurances being given that they aren’t. The end goal supposedly being an attempt to merge the two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was ever a case for merging two clubs it’s them, although the two of them merged would still yo-yo between the top division and the championship in front of four figure crowds.

MurrayWilson 3,374 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 If they were to merge would they not have to apply to join the league and start in the bottom tier? Cant see it happening to be honest and if it did id feel a bit sorry for Dundee, imagine being hitched to those pricks?. What they might do is end up sharing a stadium., Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Specky Forum Organiser 64,464 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Defiant Dundee United fans last night vowed to block any bid to bring about a merger with rivals Dundee. Talk of a controversial joining of forces has been rife within the city following US-based businessman Mark Ogren’s takeover at Tannadice. And fears heightened yesterday when it was revealed Dees’ American owner Tim Keyes could be handed complete control of Dens Park, potentially paving the way to link up with Ogren and banish more than 100 years of history. The Dark Blues are in talks with the Dundee Football Club Supporters Society (DFCSS) about purchasing shares. According to reports, the move would take the holding of US-based businessman Keyes and Dees managing director John Nelms from 68.2 per cent to over 75 per cent. That may lead to the loss of DFCSS’s veto rights over a number of issues – including future sales or a merger with another club And Dees’ city foes have hit back furiously at the prospect of moves being afoot to bring the clubs closer together. ArabTRUST secretary Mike Barile said: “This will not happen in my lifetime. “We will fight tooth and nail to prevent any sort of merger. “There is far too much tradition at Dundee United to be thinking along these lines for the future.” An ArabTRUST statement said: “The executive committee of ArabTRUST is anxious to find out more information about recent announcements at Tannadice and growing speculation about future developments with our neighbours at Dens Park. “We have requested a meeting with the new directors at DUFC in order to clarify both our position on key issues and discuss the future plans of our new owners. “As with previous DUFC boards, we look forward to forming a healthy and positive working relationship as we all seek the way ahead for the benefit of Dundee United.” DFCSS membership currently stands at just under 150. They will be allowed to express their views on a widely issued consultation document up until a January 21 deadline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
