The football club is an inconvenience, the fans an irrelevance.[/QUOTE
Today I heard that a consortium of Scottish businessmen are planning to take over the DABS.
My source told me that they are going to purchase Mark Ogren’s shareholding in Dundee United.
My source is a DAB so it might just be wishful thinking in his case.
It is a pity that we cannot get a group of Scottish businessmen to purchase FPS’s entire shareholding in Dundee Football Club Limited and clear the outstanding loans due to FPS.
That would be brilliant.

I would not blame Peter Marr.
It was the Bank of Scotland management who let him go daft spending money.

He was supposed to be a businessman. What an irresponsible thing for any businessman to do.

Not his fault he let a business go £20M plus into debt? Seriously?

I would blame the Bank of Scotland management for not ensuring that the owners of Dundee Football Club operated their bank account within their means.
At that time several other Scottish football clubs got themselves into financial difficulties thanks to irresponsible lending.
It is unlikely to happen now as there are no joint stock banks with their head office in Scotland.
Bank of Scotland is now part of Lloyds Banking Group with its Head Office in London whilst RBS has changed its name to Nat West Bank PLC and its Head Office has moved from Gogarburn near Edinburgh to London.

I have an overdraft facility with my current account. If I go into that overdraft would it have been my choice or the bank that forced me to do it?

I'll give you a clue - it would be my fault.

Unbelievable.
