I've got a merger fear

RRDH · 01/12/2018 1:06 am

That was so bad today. Pinning my Hope's on this now. I've still not seen anything substantive to suggest this is still an actual thing.

Merger and I'm out. I'll just watch the cricket or some shit.

Brains going overdrive. A council member being present gives me all manor of anxiety. RE merger.

You think the Yanks would be getting wined and dined behind the scenes by Martin and not in a pub with (a makeweight of our Boardroom).

Seems odd. A bit smalltime.

They left and then went to the hegarty suite.

That all seemed a stunt to me, take them out to the Snug, let folk hear the accent and they’ll think it’s real. I’d be amazed if those guys that were there that day were anything to do with a takeover, more likely just pals over on holiday.

In his auld office? Yeah. He wasn't happy with me either. It was re the speaking to john Hughes thing.

They most likely had been wined and dined. Maybe they wanted to see the fans in the community. This hasnae just happened overnight. Before they invest they maybe want to get a feel for the place.

MockChop · 01/12/2018 10:12 am

Yeah. Heard from Chief about it

‘He looked like he’d never been spoken to like that before’

Says you guys dragged him over the coals

Maybe.

Haven't posted much, but will post for this topic.

I find it odd, that we aren't even given the names of the people involved to do our own research on them. We aren't getting any say. The next we know, they own us and can do anything.

FFS, Dundee at least got to meet their Yanks at events leading up to the takeover.

Something very strange, wouldn't trust Martin at all or Dorward (who is hopeless, well was in the council).

I agree 100% on this. Apart from utd board no one knows them. Surely there should be more transparency re this.

TBF, that hasn't worked out too well for you so far, has it?

blackandtangerine · 02/12/2018 4:38 pm

Spence saying it could happen tomorrow and they want their own men in. If thats the case whar does that leave jim fyffe. Was he only in it for a profit?

I know I've been wanting boardroom changes for years but this yank takeover has me a bit worried. Know nowt about them.

Still wouldn't surprise me if thompson was to gain out this tae.

Shared stadium is on the cards I heard. However, why don't the club say who they are? When we are told it will be too late for the fans to do anything, something stinks.

Let's be honest here, UniDundee: you don't know who these people from the U.S. are, no United fans know a thing about these Americans, nobody on the various supporters' groups have the names of these Yankees, yet you 'heard' that a shared stadium is on the cards.

It sounds implausible that you have any credible information, when you don't know who these investors are. But you 'heard'?

Are you special?

Ffs pat. I like yer posts on here but that's below the belt imo. Twice youve had a pop at him now.
There has been loose talk about sharing grounds. The dundee yanks have been at tannadice meaning rumours and shit come round. Campy isnt happening for them so folk put 2 and 2 together. Wind yer neck in ffs.
