    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.
    Hearts fans pump thousands if not millions into their club by way of foundation = great fan support.

    We start to do the same thing = jealous Dee fans claiming we're going into Admin

    If the owner is pumping money into the club I see no reason why he he shouldn't ask the DUSF to contribute funds gathered to support the aims of the club.

    And I see no reason why he shouldn't criticise the government who at the time of his comments had offered help to rugby but not to Premiership football.

    I'll admit the cancel the league thing was a head scratcher though.

    Is it because he had the temerity to criticise the Scottish Government that's winding a few up??

    Think you maybe hit nail on head there.

    Sorry but that's rubbish the money for ALL sport was announced as one package and there is no FN way i would put politics ahead of United i'm truly amazed that you would think like that.
    I will put it in a nutshell the owner and his Sporting Director made an utter chunt of our club with that statement and opened us up to such an extent that an FN Funster was on national radio discussing our finances,that was truly embarrassing.
