  1. Not sure about that tbh, we need cover from the bench in every position and he is cover for Tav, although I agree with your thinking.
  2. Aye, I didn't word that correctly, he is a great talent but has been a wee bit off form, today he was back to what he is capable of.
  3. He really does look the part, very difficult for him to get into the team due to the excellent Tav.
  4. Excellent performance and result today, we looked at it from the start. Loved how Hagi kept working very hard despite not have a great game, good to see Paterson getting game time and he does look the part. Jack was brilliant when he came on, looking good for us now as we seem to be getting back to our early season form.
  5. Great 1st half, should be more than 3, we are at it today which is very pleasing
  6. Dundee United owner Mark Ogren has asked fans to stump up another £100,000 to help ease their cash crisis. The American businessman has requested the Dundee United Supporters’ Foundation release a second tranche of money to fund the business. The DUSF members voted to hand over a six-figure sum back in June – and now they’ve been asked to pay another amount now. Ogren has admitted his finances are limited and asked boss Micky Mellon and his players to take wage cuts late last year. They finally agreed to that earlier this month but the club is still leaking cash, so want the supporters to invest. The fans’ group will now hold a vote on whether to hand over more funds – and also stretch a deadline for their last investment to be put into a youth academy project by 12 months. Ogren spoke to the DUSF in December and laid bare the dire financial situation at Tannadice. In an email to their members, they said: “Mark Ogren addressed the meeting and outlined the serious financial impact that the pandemic was continuing to have on the club’s budget as a result of the huge reduction in income following lockdown and fans not being allowed into games. “This, coupled with the high cost of implementing the Covid-19 protocols necessary to allow football matches to go ahead under closed doors, is threatening the current operation and structure which has been put in place to take the club forward. “Mr Ogren said that United were in a unique situation in that he had invested a lot more money than he expected to win promotion and he did not have a contingency fund to draw on for the unforeseen Covid-19 crisis and the drastic reduction in income that this has caused. “In light of the current situation Mr Ogren asked the DUSF members to consider… “1 – A twelve month extension to the timescale detailed in the June 2020 partnership agreement with DUSF for work to start on the funded youth academy project. “2 – A request for the transfer of another tranche of Foundation money as a one-off payment to assist recovery from the Covid-19 crisis not tied to a future capital project. “Following discussions with members at the AGM, the [DUSF] steering group decided we should ballot members on those requests. “Therefore, during the last few weeks we have been drafting a funding proposal to transfer up to £100,000 to the club to assist during the current crisis and we have now agreed a formal proposal that the DUSF steering group are now inviting members to vote on. “We have always considered that the Foundation money should be used to build something that was sustainable and that would become an integral part of the club’s future. “That still remains one of our main aims. “However, we appreciate the unprecedented financial climate the club is now operating in and we understand why the club is asking for the foundation to offer financial assistance now to help the club through this uniquely difficult period. “We also recognise the reasons why capital expenditure projects have been suspended currently which is why the club is asking for an extension to the original agreement. “Therefore we are opening up a ballot of members to allow members to vote on the funding proposal.” https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/6548107/transfer-news-live-rangers-celtic-hibs-aberdeen-hearts-deals/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1611398235
