    Seems to me that some, a few, of our fans are never ever happy.

    When the Snake was wanting out there were rumours of an American takeover. Some fans rubbished it as a diversion.

    Then when the Ogrens took over a few fans were unhappy because we might be getting bought as his 'plaything'. Yet he invested heavily in buying back our mortgages assets and invested in our youth development strategy.

    Then some fans openly mocked his ambition.

    Then some fans didn't like TA - and still don't.
    They trolled him on Twitter and FB.

    What is DUSF if not to support Dundee United?
    What is so wrong in the owner asking for the funds to be given unconditionally?
    That's where I want my money to go and I'll let the owners decide how to spend it.

    If Covid hadn't hit we may have sold a striker for between 2 and 3 million and we may have got a million for our goalkeeper. That's before a rumoured 500k offer for a youth player. That would have been seen as a very good return on initial investment. But Covid did hit and it changed EVERYTHING.

    I think a few fans need to calm down and smell the coffee. We are very lucky to have the Ogrens as owners because as James says if they hadn't bought the club we would be in deep sh1t.

    Agree with all this.

    I was perfectly happy with everything at the club until the owner asked why are we still playing?,Tony blamed both government's for not providing more financial assistance and the club asking DUSF to empty its bank account giving the impression it was on the brink.
    On my last sentence it would be like me asking you for a loan of a tenner when i had a grand in the bank.If you were to ask an average Scottish football supporter which club in Scotland is in big trouble and most affected by the pandemic their answer would be DUFC.
    I base that on the interview given by big Tony and widely reported on by the Scottish media,to this date i do not recall any other team in the Premiership releasing anything similar apart from the lunatic running the Sheep.
