Asghar said on DUTV we are still waiting on the insurance claim. Called it a game changer.

I think every team is waiting on the claim. Insurers aren't going to pay out on this one very quickly.
Also, so much being made of the 'blank cheque' comment. I for one ain't overly concerned about it. Every owner of every business in the world is getting p*ssed off at writing blank cheques to keep their businesses going. It doesn't mean the guy is about to do a runner.
Could someone re post the prize money for end of season places in the Premiership and Championship?
(Assuming the SPFL hasn't emptied the entire piggy bank by then)
Here it is mate but its out of date and is for the previous TV and sponsorship deal.Mind you it may not be any better because as far as i'm aware Doncaster has failed to get a sponsor for the SPFL.

Someone steeped in the history of Dundee United really needs to have a word with the current owner,preferably from within the club.I will excuse his naivety and that of his Sporting Director Tony Ashgar but these negative statements need to stop.
They obviously do not realise how damaging their statements are to fans who have backed the club to the hilt this season,in all my years following United i have put more into the club this year than i ever have in the past.
We have handed over millions in season ticket revenue,thousands to support Mark and the board with legal fees and other costs and hundred's more have joined the DUSF to pour yet more money into the club.
All this effort by the way with each and everyone of us aware that we will probably never be inside our second home to see a ball kicked this season and most of us telling the club,"Its ok just keep every penny we have given you,we don't want anything in return."
I was and still am very disappointed with the chairman asking the DUSF for more money last week although i did vote to accept his request,what Mark need's to realise is it was his decision to buy our club and although no one could have foreseen a pandemic thousands of businesses in Scotland have not had the support that we have given to his business and our team.
My club has featured in the written press and was dragged through the mud on national radio with ironically a club captain from across the road discussing our finances.If Mark Ogren is truly a millionaire which i have no reason to doubt he needs told that asking fans for yet more money when most of us are struggling is detrimental to the club he owns,it also leads to speculation and hope to many that wish us to fail,FACT with a WASC.
Having read my post back i stick by it 100% and could not give a flying phuck about the stick i will receive for it later today but to anyone who fails to get the gist,Mark Ogren by asking for a further cash injection from the DUSF has opened us up to speculation from the media and others that we are on the verge of collapse.
I really need to make this comparison although i know its embarrassing,in the week a Premiership chairman who's fans have poured in millions during a pandemic asks for more help a Championship club with a 27 game season and a fraction of our revenue managed to sign 3 players.
They were just given half a million pounds and don't need to pay it back.
