Of course we'll do it. We'll do it now, next year and forever more and he probably knows we'll do it, but for me this is the difference between having a Yank with no ties to the club whatsoever and say, having a lifelong fan who has the club at heart. I don't recall Eddie asking the fans to chip in to save the club. Again, we'll do it and always will as we love the club, but the man needs to open his eyes a bit. He's invested in our club and should realised how big a deal this is. You can't go and buy success then plead poverty when things don't work out. He's just emptied the coffers at DUSF when he probably has 100 times that amount sitting in a bank account somewhere.
He really has not taken over Dundee utd to get rid of his millions.He is not like eddie who was a diehard fan who sadly was dying and splashed out millions and put utd in millions of debt to try and win something.The foundation is there to raise money to help utd when they need it most or that is what I thought they were there for?The money the raise is to help utd not to fill it's coffers and have hundreds of thousands in the bank.I honestly don't think he would have thought of investing in utd if he had foreseen the pandemic and knew how much it would cost him.I have no Idea how much he has put into utd but guessing it is a lot more than me or any other normal supporter.Really if you or anyone else who is in the foundation are annoyed that he asked them to release money to help utd when utd are desperate for funds then maybe you should think about why you are putting money into the foundation.
