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.

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.

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.,

No. They will be able to take over one of the existing clubs registrations like Airdrie United did with Clydebank.

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.
