Pay cut?

[offshore_arab83]

Sun reporting we’ve asked players to take a 20% pay cut. Kinda ties in with what was said on here the other day about us budgeting for having fans back in by now

[An old shed boy]

If the Sun is correct then United have asked the players to take 20% wage cut until the end of the season.

If we're paying McNulty £5K a week, some c*nt at the club needs sacked!!!

[Henrys Hall]

Sounds more like a tully report to me!

[offshore_arab83]

Edwards should be on 3 curly wurlys and a pack on monster munch a week so should be ok for that

Seriously though, if this is true then 1 - this is some way to split a dressing room and 2 - does anyone have any buckets and good tablet recipes

I think that's a fair deal,i would imagine that most of us on here are down on what we normally earn(i have lost thousands)because of the pandemic.Pro players in my opinion are very privileged to be earning a wage when no fans are allowed to pay in to watch them.

If Kevin Brdges was to play the Hydro tomorrow he would be playing to an empty hall and earning nothing.

He'd still be funny as fu*k tho...……………. Maybe should stream that ?

[ahlltanyirhide]

20% cut is a very reasonable offer in my opinion, it’s the same as what millions of workers in all corners of the UK had to endure for months. United were very fair with the players during lockdown and topped up their wages during the furlough period so they got 100%, but something had to give. Sure, some will be peeved at this news, but this is just the start for clubs, and we certainly won’t be the only club announcing this kind of news.

Strange quirk of fate during these difficult times is that the only section of society to have actually benefited from the pandemic are the unemployed who receive enhanced ‘Covid’ Payments, not much though and think it was only about 20 quid a week, but an increase nonetheless. Before anyone gets their knickers in a twist, I’m not having a go at the unemployed, coz there’s no way I’d survive on £100 a week, just stating a fact ;D

Unemployed get £100 a week? Fuch i’m doing something wrong!

[TangerineDream]

Not surprised at this. Sensible and reasonable decision considering the circumstances.

All of the clubs in Scotland and beyond are going to be struggling big time. The whole game up here will change massively.

Feel sorry for a club like Peterheed having to make numerous staff redundant, there will be many more issues like this.

Difficult times for everyone, in and out of fitba.

[ahlltanyirhide]

It’s no far off that H, think it’s about £340 a month on Universal Credit with the Covid top up bringing it to about £400 :s wait for the uproar when the Tories decide to remove the top up

I’d be well phukked as my Regal kingsize cost £12.30 a packet

It’s an idea peter, and the O’s could use the money to buy over that sad state of affairs across the road and do what’s needed in this city, one club called Dundee United FC. Seriously though, if United are feeling the pinch, your lot must be almost in a complete stranglehold?

[Orjan11]

Mark Ogren doesn't have a bottomless pit of money for United. The club definitely needs funds. All businesses are struggling to survive. Now is the time for all our supporters who can afford it, to subscribe to DU Supporters Foundation. our support were fantastic in raising money for the legal expenses, and the club needs our help. Hibs, Hearts. Motherwell get regular funding fro their supporters groups. Now it's our time.

One thing that does have to be said is Thank You to the Ogrens.

A £3 Million loss last year and this year is going to be even worse with Covid.

I hope united can get through this with us all coming together.

Shows that the priority this season has to be survival.

Maybe the tightening up to get points off the sheep and st j doesn’t seem so bad when you consider this position behind the scenes

[A. J]

I'm with this but with McLean like provisos

80% but rises to 100% if they get any positive result against top 4 and rises to 100% if they get the win against any of the rest
I'd drop it to 50% if they lost to anyone bar top 4 and fuch all for 4-0 losses or worse

On current form some of the players must owe us money

Thats a good idea, performance related!

[Shedboy1971]

Makes sense and good its in the open. Seems we have delayed this unlike many clubs. Personally we should take the opportunity to make some players redundant no matter how controversial. King for one. we have no income from customers and its perfectly legal to remove the non essential aspects. I expect any £1m plus bid in January for Shankland will see him go - hopefully he scores a bundle and we can get a few bob more.

All about survival now for many clubs. Hope this sees the players play out of their skin. I trust Orgen's words and he is clearly resigned to having to protect club for season without fans. Jesus the season is highly unlikely to end if forecasts of infections doubling globally every week until April.

I like AJs performance bonus idea as well. I presume win bonuses remain but not sure.

We can forget any new signings but we have fuchs coming in and just need to buckle up for the 3 at back im afraid.

Not sure why peter is having a laugh here - we are 6 months behind them bringing in measures. I think its dire for every club outside the "elite" divisions in europe

I get what you're saying about all teams but although It may well be a season without fans in the ground the clubs still have all the season ticket money...some of things both clubs have done during covid doesnt make a lot of sense...meant to have no money but manage to sign Adam and McNulty...Dundee after players had took a pay cut and United's 3 weeks after making the signing of a player who you would imagine will be one of the top earners at your club...as for laughing at United that will never stop🍉😄🗑️

Agree there Peter - ST money means really missing out on away fans and a few others. Id heard adam had deferred his wages but might be wrong, if so thats a well done to dundee fo that. McNulty we are paying very little % of his salary (but that may still be large for us) allegedly so maybe thats why we managed? Hibs and Hearts however screamed poverty and spent big. Yeah its doesnt really make sense on surface really.

So i am sure clubs aint hurting over hamilton, ICT, RC, Livi away fans lol

Sounds all well and good but what if we win all the time? The club can't afford that so there is no way they should plan anything with that possibility, no matter how remote it is.

United though they'd have fans being back in the ground by now, MO's article says that. This would mean much more match day revenue that doesn't exist right now.

The interesting comment in your owners statement, is about investing in your youth academy. I would argue that the youth academy at most clubs, basically are a PR exercise, and will never make provincial clubs money. If Rangers can lose Billy Gilmour to Chelsea, how will other clubs hang onto their star young players?
Our owners may walk away, but I would argue that they have proved they’re fully committed, whereas yours are totally unproven. Let’s see if your fan base have the appetite to save your club, like ours have done twice..

Seriously though with wages at 133% of turnover ,then signing guys on 5k a week with no match day revenue coming is severe financial mismanagement how much longer will the purse strings of Ogren be open before he pulls the plug on a club he has no emotional attachment too.

Not sure anyone but he can know. He did state budgeting for this until end October but now its clear no fans for a while need to reposition. fair enough. He has always said its a medium term gig to chop down players, get youths involved, and drive down wages to turnover ratio. Also i am sure he had hoped our turnover (quite rightly) would increase it spfl.

we pay less than a 1/4 a week for mcnulty according to club source. Not sure how reliable that is but i am sure its not 5k.

I feel we brought in a coupl to try and get as high in league for prize money, write off season and survive at minimum.

I believe you are also a blue nose

never a truer statement spoken, GB style FACT

[BackRowArab]

20% wage cut will probably save United £400-600k over the year (probably a bit less since we are a few months into the season). Had a look at the last accounts last night to see what gate receipts were, but it wasn't broken down. Could see Seigrest and/or Shankland going in January, which isn't a shocker and would secure us for a bit longer.

There won't be any admin as Ogren owns something like 90% of the debt, so he isn't going to put the club into admin just to lose his own money.

Its funny though that multiple clubs have either had wage cuts or deferrals (Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen, Hibs, Hearts, Dundee) but because its United its now a major issue!

Think utd have done well tried to keep players on full pay never cut wages straight away.Circumstances now mean more action must be taken so thats what they are doing.Seems they are not cutting all players wages though think that maybe not so good.Understand maybe cant cut wages of loan players maybe have to cancel the loan or keep paying full wage but seems couple of new signings not getting there wages cut.Think that could cause lot of problems.If what I'v read is true.

Yeah agree that treating people differently is a bit odd. It's hardly going to instill togetherness and team spirit. I do think that these overpaid and over privileged footballers need to have a long, hard look at themselves if they're going to make a fuss about a paycut during a global pandemic right enough...

[tHeArAb]

I have heard that the Connolly extension was not down to MM apparently it was sanctioned by Tony.

This makes sense to me. No f*cking way the manager was in the door long enough to assess Connolly, nevermind make the decision that he was worth a 2 year extension. We were only a week into the season ffs.

I agree with you asking them to take a pay cut now with what is going on is not too much to ask especially as we tried to keep them on full wage unlike other clubs.Think it should be across the board though maybe not loan players not sure they can cut what they have agree with there teams.

[AraBrian]

From what ive heard key players wont be forced a cut but can volunteer. Think we are taking half a dozen and any signed this season. so Adam King get to fvck please :)

Think will have to pay him off or run down his contract sadly.Think gonna cause all sorts of crap if some are forced to take a pay cut and not others.Would not think that was legally right never mind ethically.

course they are and utd really went into admin years ago it was not dundee heard that from someone I knowXD XD

Can’t remember you going into Admin, but I do know you’ve sold 2.5k kids tickets. Don’t believe it, if you don’t want to.

[BP33]

erm maybe you didnt read what I commented on BP? the quote was




So i've underlined the part that you cannot be serious on, you will rarely get anyone from here posting on your board especially about your finances?

Our finances are as good as can be expected as far as I’m aware. Should be better now that the insurance claims coming through. I’m glad you said rarely. To be quite honest, Dee Mad has turned into a bit of a car crash.

[offshore_arab83]

You've all been greeting for weeks you've got to get new players inyes cos we’ve been screaming oot for a winger for years and it’s still not been addressed. 2 x international strikers getting zero service peter

[offshore_arab83]

I get that but most of you have been wanting a whole new midfield at least 1 if not 2 centre halves and a winger... incredibly one of the very few on here that have any sort of perspective of what's going on has been Shedka...🙈🙈🙈

[BP33]

Nicely avoiding the fact you made a complete t!t of yourself with your 'pot & kettle' statement though. ����

So you’re saying there’s never been any of you lot, on our board commenting on our past financial problems?

[BP33]

it’s more comical you’re actually on here spouting this sh1te and believing what you’re saying

Well, you don’t need to believe it. As a matter of interest, how many kids tickets have you sold? I’ve been told 2.5k from someone who knows, what’s your figure?

[tHeArAb]

So you’re saying there’s never been any of you lot, on our board commenting on our past financial problems?

No, what I'm saying is comparing Utd fans talking about your finances on OUR BOARD is not the same as you Funsters coming over to OUR BOARD to talk about our finances.

Jesus wept man. You're hard work. 🤣🙈🤣🙈

[AraBrian]

[Dave63]

Coz the news was United are cutting wages, and they luv to forget their own numerous problems (mind oh Angus Crook?) Started lang lang time ago...
AND...……….. their forum is shi*e, the worst titled ever... "Dees banter" :D Belter...…… there's nae banter on it.

To be fair I've only looked at it a good few hunner times and really, there is nae "banter " whatsoever …

Nae wonder Peter posts on here, at least he gets what he needs. ;)

They think they wind people up saying there pal told them all about utd's money troubles and utd are about to go into admin been hearing it from them since before there first admin. XD

[Dave63]

Didn't know our 2 strikers together on 10k plus a week according to funsters

Double it ;)

[BP33]

Didn’t say he knew who bought all the tickets. Just the total breakdown, ie adult OAP, kids. It’s not brain surgery.

[ranaldarab]

If it had been phrased that we'd sold more U/18 season tickets than Dundee had sold in total then it would be quite believable.

[offshore_arab83]

They think they wind people up saying there pal told them all about utd's money troubles and utd are about to go into admin been hearing it from them since before there first admin. XD

if you saying enough you will end up believing it. #funlogic

[AraBrian]

Sure he does.When is it utd go into admin this time. XDThe funny thing is utd paid full wages for the first third or quarter of season then decided they would have to cut players wages.While some other teams could not afford to and cut there players wages before there season even began and they think we have money troubles.XDHow many adult seasons did you'r informer tell you the diddlies had sold?

[AraBrian]

Didn't know our 2 strikers together on 10k plus a week according to funsters

They know every penny utd spend and when we are going into admin every time only problem for them is they alway wrongXD

[tHeArAb]

How many adult seasons did you'r informer tell you the diddlies had sold?

Not enough to fund their near 35 year old star signing. They had to go begging to a couple of local companies for a top up. 😂

I don't think it's fair to call someone out for trolling when they have deestyria.

Like most Arabs when reaching a certain age , I was given 'the talk' when deciding which side to follow, and regardless of which side of the Kingsway you were brought up, that still sits with me, in fact it'll soon be time for me to sit the young ane down, like my dad did, and his dad, and his, in fact 'the talk' first started sometime around 1910.

The Talk - look lad you may want to drink, smoke, gamble or go off with bad women, I can't tell you not to, although one day in the future there may be cures or even substitutes for these cravings.
Picking the wrong side however leads to deestyria, the effects leave you bitter, twisted and jealous for life, there is no cure.
Choose wisely.

Over 110 years later and 'the talk' has never changed, not once,

Sorry just catching up on this thread and the jist of it is that dees are coming on here to congratulate that the youth of Dundee are all tangerine. Very big of them actually, I would personally be very concerned if the next generation were scrambling to support the sleeping giant!

The only place where it will be “common knowledge” is on fun mad, where they constantly post sh!te about all things Utd, and others lap it up!!

To be honest, I’m fed up reading Peter’s posts, and the constant p!sh and digs at Utd/posters, we would not last two mins across the road posting similar, so if ADS can be banned for his recents posts, it’s about time this clown got the same, but longer than a month!!
Mods please consider, because it’s spoiling threads about OUR team, on OUR board!!

Kind of agree if he wants to post made up sh... about utd's finances and pretend they are common knowledge the place to do that is across the road on the funny folks board they will love it and believe his every word.OA gave him a bit of a warning though I think about posting nonsense to wind people up.

To be fair, I've enjoyed a wee bit "banter" at times but have to agree, it is getting a bit much.

I know it is better to be tolerant, but we wouldn't last a couple of posts over there. We have good Arabs on here who have lowered themselves to explaining themselves to folk from other boards that don't particularly like United.

I know GB luvs a cuddly pumpkin/neep (seasonal) ;) but unless the posts are relevant to United and are just banter and not sly digs, it might be time to cleanse the board for a wee while. ( just sayin') :)

I don’t mind other fans posting, with the obvious odd dig, as long as the majority of their posts are constructive, but his are simply not, and fed up with the constant p!sh. He’s never off our board FFS!
Eric Sinclair sometimes posts on here, and doesn’t miss us when he does, but also, he does post constructively to the relevant discussion thread. That’s the difference.

Why the feck is any Arab trying to justify to this clown? It’s hearsay, as usual, and no way 50% of our ST sales are under 18’s. It’s never been that way for years, and certainly not in the current climate. Yet again, funsters trying to deflect from the p!shy 2k sales that they had, so how many of them were under 18’s? Anyway, time to ban this chunt, and leave this board to discussion between Arabs!

I never joined in anything I replied to a question about our season tickets which I think you asked...and was amused that there was no way anybody could know what's happening at Tannadice but everyone knows what's going on at Dens...anyway you're right it is boring... here's to the next 20%... for their flights home to the USA...you might get lucky and they'll take Harkes with them 😄👍

Never said you stated it, but by Christ you jumped on the bandwagon, and lapped it up, like most funsters. Anyway, when was the population of any (normal) game 50% under 18’s? Never in my lifetime, so stands to reason (and statistics) that season ticket sales will also not be that profile. As others have asked, unless you have conclusive proof of this shut the feck up! Anyway, hope you are now banned, for what most consider trolling, byyyyeeeee!!!

They are obviously trying to wind some up on here by trying to say that adults have bought u18s season tickets so they can watch the home matches cheaper through DUTV? Could be wrong though and I'm not even sure if an u18 season ticket gets you access to the home games.

Youve been a good poster on here at times but fvck off and have a think about things. Post lies and hopes on dee mad not here. Mods- clearly give him a try as i genuinely think he is a laugh at times but this is trolling. Ban him if he keeps this up. Im sure i talk for many on here

[AraBrian]

I never joined in anything I replied to a question about our season tickets which I think you asked...and was amused that there was no way anybody could know what's happening at Tannadice but everyone knows what's going on at Dens...anyway you're right it is boring... here's to the next 20%... for their flights home to the USA...you might get lucky and they'll take Harkes with them 😄👍

You never replied to any question about you'r season tickets.You replie to tHeArAb saying why was you'r buddy BP getting roasted for coming on our board and havering pi.. about our season ticket sales that his pal had told him.When you stated you Imagine the facts about utd's business is common knowledge.I have asked you many times where you find this common knowledge you'r buddy made up but for some reason you will not answer

And how do you know that 99% of Diddlie seasons were no purchase on the cheap by pensioners no one knows?But because no ones knows who bought utd's season tickets does not make you'r crap about common knowledge in anyway right.

Not like them toignore their own situation how many of their 1200 season tickets were the £1 ones ? I tell you how many - icouldnt give a fvck they are skint in lower division dont own their ground dont have a pot to piss in and aint coming up. Certainly wont be going on their site to try and engage in any conversation of this sort. Let alone making up figures and trolling. Would be banned in 3 posts by fat harry the golfer and reggie kray. Now thats a fact >:)

[AraBrian]

They are obviously trying to wind some up on here by trying to say that adults have bought u18s season tickets so they can watch the home matches cheaper through DUTV? Could be wrong though and I'm not even sure if an u18 season ticket gets you access to the home games.

Don't think kids tickets get the matchs for free.

I don't like Billy Pirie 33 mate,Peter was a much more graceful player on the football pitch than Billy and is normally the same on here.Its a FACT that Billy has led him astray over the past couple of days and Peter has let the side doon.

Don't think going on there board would be much fun really and would be massive waste off time to try to explain to them that there club having to reduce there players wages long before we did, and there club paying off employees, and there club needing outside business to pay some player's wages, and there club not owning a ground with no prospect of owning one in the near future, and there club being stuck in the wee league may mean there club is in a worse position than ours and just maybe they should spend there time on there own boards worrying about that.

If you use the letter A you get banned,if you use it twice as in ADMIN 2 its a global ban and if you post ADMIN 3 you have to play a round of golf with rros.

[Shedboy1971]

Dont get me wrong normally i like peter. He is welcome but is on a sticky wicket. Wouldnt be tolerated over the road but we are superior in every facet so he should be forgiven.....just now

To be fair GB think the peter fella got a bit carried away trying to stick up for the BP guy and compared to the dross one he does seem kind of sane.XD

[A. J]

Sorry guyz butt his is total bollix, we moan that our team are giving us shyte on the pitch, and yet here we are allowing ourselves to take it off the pitch.

Fuch the dee and their trolls, their troll posts are not welcome here and is nowhere near banter

[tHeArAb]

You said yesterday it was common knowledge


No I never


BP33 getting roasted for claiming to know the amount of adult and child season tickets you've sold...which I imagine is common knowledge

Stop talking sh*t Peter or you'll be joining your mate Gotti. Banter is banter but you're trolling now. By all means say what you like on your own forum but you're not coming over here and pissing boys off with your endless nonsense.

End of.

"Micky Mellon reveals Dundee United's staff pay cuts but admits players remain locked in wage stand off"

[offshore_arab83]

Looking at the amount of 'staff' we have this will save a good few quid

[JamesMcClean]

It seems incredible that United are getting pilloried for this, seeing as they’ve really actually done the decent thing and tried to keep wages going as normal as long as humanly possible during incredibly abnormal times. Contrast this with some other clubs, with previous for financial, ahem, ‘irregularities’ who couldnae wait to get wage slashing at the first opportunity.

[offshore_arab83]

We should have followed all the other clubs and made the cuts in the summer, hindsight eh...

See part time teams like Arbroath and Alloa are getting £500,000 of tax payers money as a christmas present from wee nic along with hearts who are throwing money about like confetti.While Teams like Hamilton stmirren livi us etc that could really do with some help are getting nothing but can borrow more and increase our debts if we want sounds about right from this goverment.

Yeh, totally. If they were going to make some distinction between who gets grants and who gets loans there is no way that it should have been based on a strict divisional basis. Instead it should have been allocated based on the Club’s most recent turnover. That way idiosyncrasies like higher earners such as Hearts (and even the Funsters and the Pars for example) getting free money over teams like Livi and Accies.

Can understand they don't want to give free money to teams like septic and rancid who waste millions every season but there are teams like hamilton stjohnston ourselfs etc who don't have money to throw about up to our necks in debt I'd guess and get offered more debt to be fair don't expect much better from this goverment.English did something similar I think and guessing this goverment thinks Hamilton etc get same tv money as liverpool etc.

Yep, another short sighted phuck up. Agree totally and as I say the distribution of money should have been based on income not division.We’re watching the slow death of the football and hospitality industries in this country despite the fact that it is clearly obvious that they have absolutely phuck all to do with Covid transmission. After all they have all been pretty well shut down completely for months and months yet Covid numbers are rising. Go figure.

Gave up complaining about pubs being shut when they were only place that was enforcing rules.Why are the spfl going along with this they must know that teams like us are losing a lot more money this season than teams like Arbroath and Alloa.They must also know that teams like Hamilton etc need grants a lot more than hearts.It is good that the lower league teams that need it who are probably them all apart from hearts are getting help but why ignore the teams who probably need it most?Can understand a bit why spfl aint too bothered as not really a big problem for the arse cheeks.

Good that they have came to an agreement and good that utd waited lot longer than most clubs, players will appreciate utd never cut wages straight away like some other clubs.Notice in there it is mentioned again that utd have an insurance policy that could cover some of there losses utd have seemed to play this down though and not get excited about it like the diddlies does anyone know any more about this?

Hopefully the players do appreciate it mate. I was a bit surprised to hear they rejected the original offer after being paid 100% for so long. They're well within their rights of course but some clubs made cuts in the summer as you say. Our had the decency to keep paying staff in full.

[Arabknight]

Good news and another hurdle overcome. Time to concentrate on the team and either get rid or sell a player to hopefully bring in some funds to maybe, and it appears o be a big maybe bring a player or 2.
