    Yes it is all a bit Judean People Front.

    It’s oretty disheartening to see so many uninvolved in this when there are so many that say they want ST out etc and I’ve set out a way to put pressure on with the added cloud of a directorship, the third largest shareholding and the legal wherewithal to do the foundation fundraising ideas.

    Maybe there’s too many interested in having their own groups and not the confidence to win popular support.

    Too many egos involved?

    I certainly don’t have the all the answers.

    I’ve posited one idea of winning control of the trust as a way to exert pressure with added clout of the shares etc.

    Maybe I should setup the Dundee United Supporters Coalition and demand my place at the table with ST.

    Seems to be the done thing these days.

    A re*****ised AT could have a management committee comprising reps from FU DUBC DUSF FED etc (who have I missed), and the best from AT itself. That would be be a formidable committee/org. It would be nice to think that some in these organisations have read this thread and thought, yeah. Our club is in danger and this is no time for ego's and splinter groups with different agendas.

    Stoke. That is a tremendous suggestion.

    That way the third largest shareholder has the full cross section of groups, it’s place on the board to resignor otherwise and the small but symbolically significant shareholding that could, with other support, call a symbolic and pressure increasing club EGM.

    Surely the will for change and the desire to put the club first and foresmost is so strong that these groups can collectively see a path for the greater good of all supporters of Dundee United.

    I live in hope that it’s actually all about United and not individuals and egos.

    The sniping from all sides is so unnecessary and make me despair.

    Stoke has made great contributions to this debate.

    Keep the snide to private messages please.

    Forums are a bit “Wild West” but ffs United is more important than petty squabbles.

    So RA, SA etc please stop.

    I’m only interested in United. Not interested in any posturing or egos.

    You do what has been a 6 page, civil debate a disservice.

    It’s meant to be about Dundee United so CHECK YOUR EGOS AT THE DOOR.
