There were repeated comments about wanting to help FPS, but the point that seemed to carry a lot of weight that the AShares were designed as a bulwark against any majority shareholder. It was not in any way a specific measure against FPS.

You have got the lack of cooperation completely the wrong way round. DFCSS have been excluded, despite offers from DFCSS to discuss ways to help the club. The community aspect is not as straightforward as might appear. It might be much more beneficial for the club to have the community outreach managed by the club. This is one of the areas that a bit of clarity from FPS might be very helpful.

One of the restraints which forms part of the A Shares restrictions relates specifically to amalgamation. I don't know how you feel about that possibility but I would imagine that if, without any consultation with their members and the wider fan base, DFCSS sold the A shares and then FPS announced a merger with our neighbours playing at Tannadice, there might be a wee bit of unrest.

The people involved are all trying to do their best for the club. You can help by raising the issues that worry you. I know you distrust the motives of DFCSS. That's your prerogative and it helps to encourage scrutiny of what is going on. What do you think DFCSS should do about the AShares?
Don't take him seriously BC. He thinks Jim McIntyre is involved in a plot to weaken us and strengthen United, incredible really.
