We win at Hampden on Saturday and are now in the last 24 hours of this seasons transfer window.A day that could make or break our ambitions for this unique season.

And where is our Chairman?Away over to Australia again,apparently.And waxing lyrical about the Australian league and courting Newcastle Jets again.Seriously WTF is going on here?

Very well paid by the club don't forget.What is it with all these trips to Oz?How is this benefitting Dundee Utd exactly?

Can't say I like some of the things I read about this Tinkler guy, but he still seems to be worth a bob or two. Your post makes me shudder.

Not sure where he is but he can tell Celtic to phuck off by phone, text or fax.

Huge day for United - will give fans a true indication of where our ambitions are at.

Telling Celtic to piss aff and bringing in Dixon will have the fans in ecstasy.

Agree mate

selling to celtic shows very little or no ambition for this season IMO

He could mate,you're right.

But considering the part of Australia he's in is 12 hours ahead it means Jackie has to constantly keep waking him up today or he's having to do an all-nighter over there to keep abreast of things hourly.

It's no really on tbh.

He should be here,in Dundee,with Jackie and the BoD.Symbolically,if nothing else,it would show were all here together,fighting our corner as a club.100% focussed on Utd and nothing else.

Time for some clarity too over this whole Newcastle Jets thing.

Is he buying it for himself?Is he wishing to move over there and hand over the running of Utd to his sister.Or does he see himself as running the Jets from afar and is Utd still his No.1 priority?Does he see any potential investment in the Jets as beneficial to DUFC and if so how?What would be the tie-up?

Fans need some transparency on all this now i think.

He might just fancy fucking off and living his life in the sun, but enjoys running a football club.

Perhaps that's why he's appointed a general manager, perhaps the player sales are to cover future shortflalls, who knows?

Don't know if there's any merit in it, but the GA Engineeering guy seeming sold 60% of his company recently, he was rumoured to be in the mix.

Wonder if he'll continually moan for years about how much of his family's money has went into the Jets?

And how being a Chairman is a thankless task etc etc.

The Chairman's response

St Obswell · 22/2/2015 9:23 am

Today's Sunday Mail
Operating loss of between £750,000-£1,000000 every year needs to be offset by other income including the sale of players.
ST on the BBC
"They put £130m into English Football, we get just over £1m. This is your licence fee and my licence fee. Lineker earns more from your licence fee than we get for the whole of Scottish Football. That's fundamentally wrong."

seggyboy73 · 22/2/2015 10:06 am

If thats the case we should all pay fuk all to tv licence then
