That's another down to Asghar who had Ogren believing he could make money when everyone in Scottish football knew otherwise
Tony Asghar joined Dundee United in January 2019 after finding an investor to buy the club. Mark Ogren, an American businessman who also owns a baseball and hockey clubs in the US, was interested in investing in soccer. “Before buying, he asked me to prepare a five-years performance and business plan. He believed in this plan, bought Dundee United, and asked me to come forward and carry on the plan,”
“A lot of people were sceptical about this strategy because they think that football cannot make any money. Here in Dundee we feel that we can increase the revenue in commercial by tapping into international markets. We have started to realise this goal by bringing American, South American players along with a footballer from La Liga. We are also looking to increase our brand awareness in emerging markets like India or the Middle East. We have big plans.”
