Mark Ogren....

I voted to give the club the money but that's auld news as it was posted weeks ago,it was not giving the money that was difficult it was the way it was asked for.Lets forget what Ogren is worth for a minute and look at what the club financially is generating this season.

1 Over 5000 season tickets sold.
2 TV revenue from home matches.
3 Merchandise sold in the club shop.
4 £200,000 from DUSF.
5 Prize money up to around £1,500,000 depending on league position.
6 Legal fees paid by the supporters and subsequently Hearts who were ordered to pay costs.
7 A possible insurance pay out.
8 An interest free loan of up to £1,600,000 with nothing to repay until 2022 and paid back over twenty years.

I am sure the owner will be able to recover the money he is putting in now at the end of the season and other club owners will be doing the same.

GB I think that if MO could go back and change what he said, when he said it and how he said it he might want to change a few things.

In what I said I wasn't having a go at the FM because if I had the vote she would get it. (The vote! No, I wouldn't by the way)

He's human just like all of us, under pressure from Covid just like all of us. He was probably pi55ed off at the time watching his businesses leaking money and just let his frustrations get the better of him.

From what I've seen of him he appears committed although things can always change, so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.

I completely understand what you said about fans spending in hard times to support the club but there's a difference between us supporters who grew up with the club in their blood and an owner with a new interest in the club.

Stokie boy its A water under the bridge,i would never support the Scottish Government over Dundee United but Tony was wrong when he was saying Scottish Rugby is being supported ahead of football because they are middle class and us football fans are bampots looking for a fight after the game.
Dearie,dearie me Tony that finished over 30 years ago FFS,i make no defence either for Sturgeon as she really has very little interest in sport but i will say that she would be more likely to back the working class rather than those from the borders who consider themselves in the middle class bracket.
I am still backing the owner and big Tony 100% however our fanbase have been hammered with negativity since the country went into lockdown almost a year ago,if you read all my posts on here yesterday i have named them all from no promotion to playing v The Bride in the court of session.
The only thing i was asking from the fortunate people who run our club was an acknowledgement of thanks for the effort the fans have made to ensure we won the court battle,took our rightful place in the Premiership and backed them to the hilt so we remain there.
