Unfortunately I don't think Dundee United are living in a world where they have a blank cheque book of funds available, even with the current owner. ☹️
Lack of goals, lack of points
Cheque book and pen needed chop chop
We're short on quality, yes our best 11 are a match for anyone if all are fit. When thats the case TC has proved he can coach a team to play well and be positive. Mellon was still negative when had his best 11.
Bumps in the road happen to all teams but ours is due to recruitment, the lack of back ups in midfield and up front is our downfall, everyone feared this would happen, Stevie Wonder could see it, so no excuses for the iPad brigade simple as that
Bearing in mind we are probably losing Benji and Fuchs, and we rely on a 35 year old Mulgrew then given our current fringe players arent good enough, we could need a complete overhaul
As for being still in top 6, thats fun logic imo.
We were miles clear of bottom 6 just a few weeks ago, now 7th placed Hibs are only 2 points behind us.
I cant believe that personally I'm back to praying for 10th or better but hoping for better

Can i mention the war chest?
Based on nothing whatsoever, i expect there will be funds available to bring in 2 or 3 players for identified key positions. That doesnt mean there will be transfer fees flying everywhere.
After that, Reynolds is an obvious candidate to leave and i hope we get a chance to say goodbye as i for one appreciated what he did for our recovery, unlike the way some other comments have came across, but are there others that can be disposed of like Connolly?
Then there is the possible sale of Fuchs(i have to question who will be driving that?), Benji, and maybe even Harkes which may pay for 1 for 1 replacements, although i have my doubts fees will reach the heights they really should.
Gobsmacked if anyone pays a fee for Harkes. Fuchs I don't think is worth selling with the add-on we're due Alaves. Benji would be the only one that makes any sense. Worth the most and we already have a like for like replacement at the club.
Yeh IMO Benji was, and remains, our most sellable asset and with Carson waiting in the wings is the one likely to cause least disruption in the short term I would reckon. The fact we bought Carson in the first place suggests the Club didn’t think he’d be here beyond August if we’re being honest.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was an actual bid for Harkes, he can sometimes look good on the highlights. It's the same when I talk to my workmates about a player I think looks good in their team, they just laugh and say " really? you can hae um"
Not saying it would be a big offer, but yi never know.
