Rumours afoot that the female shagger Justine has sold her shares to the baldy shaggers mate Mike Martin.
I had heard she was definitely out by next year - this is probably a little quicker.

Same boy that told me that rumour said that although our debt was looking around £3M the actual debt was north of £7M.
Just thought I'd mention it now that one of his tips looks to have been correct 😩

The £7M figure possibly includes the fanciful amount that someone may think the club is worth (£4M?).

I'd read of Mike Martin buying Justine's shares, and thought that a bank savvy individual wouldn't do such a thing if the club was anywhere near being close to administration, or worse. Maybe it's a good sign?

Also, the company Mike Martin and Stephen Thompson set up reportedly to move in on Newcastle Jets has had a change to a more United orientated company name.

...and yet another rumour with no detail

we suddenly accrue an additional £4m+ of what would be unsecured debt...no how or to whom

I'll stick my neck out and call shite on this

 
Cheers - should no better than to post rumours on a message board.

In fairness he was right about Justine and this is the same boy that told me about camperdown back in April. Next time he pipes up I'll demand a spreadsheet from him and if it's not forthcoming I'll tell him to wind his neck in.

I'm merely questioning what looks like a spectacularly ill-founded rumour - and I have given reasons for doing so

Too many are imo ready to jump in on any rumour that shows the board in a poor light.

You are of course entitled to put a rumour out there - just don't expect it to go unchallenged

So he was spectacularly ill informed about the debt but spectacularly correct about Justine 🤔
Next time I see him I'll let him know, if anything he is spectacular!
 

 
Next time you meet him you could ask him where the extra £4m debt appeared from and who was insane enough to fund it on an unsecured basis - that would be more useful exercise.
You can see why I'm a wee bit sceptical about this - or should we just accept this on your say so?

 You don't have to accept anything on my say so.
I was just passing on some additional info I was given from a mate I know is well connected with Dundee football.
Forgive me if I don't take your suggestion and start demanding more info and tangible proof next time we speak.
Usually if I do he tends to clam up a bit.
I can see why you're sceptical- I don't necessarily believe him or everything he says but he has been right on a few things.

tbf there does seem to be few rumours the past 2/3 days regarding Justines shares and an  American takeover. 
​there was an American interested in buying the club before but was put off by the price thompsons wanted.
I don't know if it could be him who is interested again or someone else.

That's interesting bowers. Based on no inside information or proof, Mike Martin, if he has bought Justine's shares, has US business associates.

A company of which he is a directors has three other directors, all from the USA.

Have you any names?

Mind, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Maybe 2+2 = 5.

You are quoting something but not actually saying anything yourself. Not the first time youve done this.
 

Who would want a re developed Super Shed with safe standing and en draught beer seats to watch a multi million team with a big  enough  squad to cope with suspensions for our old school hard style with modern flair anyway.
