Re: Stephen Thompson
Thompson was the architect of his own and United's downfall by forcing a decent manager out of the door in order to bring in a super salesman to get back the money his dad squandered and it all went t*** up thereafter. Yep he got the family money back but we were left with a succession of numpties managing the team and diminishing the quality of the squad. In addition when the decline started and gathering pace, Thompson instead of managing the problems, went awol chasing Aussie dreams and bucks. There is zero merit in Thompsons reign and like most fans I'm glad he's gone
Bring back the (real) "United Way" not the kiddy-on Martin version

Re: Stephen Thompson
Can I just say I've spent the last four years seeing the former chairman vilified on this and other forums, and I couldnt stop myself from registering to have my say. While everyone makes mistakes you have all forgotten about his achievements which include, but not limited to:
*Overseeing several years of success, including a Scottish Cup Win and regular European participation
*Reducing the clubs debt, which was threatening the very existence of Dundee United
*Erasing the club's bank debt and securing much better terms
*Signing world class players such as Andrew Robertson
*Backing EACH AND EVERY manager in the transfer market
*Somehow being held responsible for recruitment failings, despite the fact this was overseen by a director of football and not the chairman
*Representing Dundee United's fans views on the issue of the readmission of Rangers to the Scottish leagues
*Bringing record revenues into the club through the sales of players such as Gauld, Robertson, Ciftci etc
*Consistently offering the most competitive season ticket package in Scotland
*Renouncing his own salary and worked for free for the benefit of the club
*Delivering world class training facilities, that are the envy of almost every club in Scotland
Everyone knows the relegation was a dark day for the club and no one at the club is exempt from criticism, but lets remember the good things that the former chairman did as well, he deserves to be left in peace and with his dignity intact. He was always and always will be a United supporter.
Now i remember your other previous post.
Hmmmmm.🤔

The relevance is that if you were a massive Thompson backer (or even friend) it might suit your agenda to portray Ogren in a negative light.
