I believe the fact that i have been told.

I know this situation has been twisted from Utd and its fucking sickening our club is doing what they are doing.

These bastards need to be outed.

Feel sorry for Stevie and his family.
That man has done and tried so much with Dundee United and has been shat on big time.

Jackie and thompson better be prepared for the backlash if you think you got shit in feb-march i think youll get worse this time.

If this were to be true, or if Stevie were to part company with United for reason, he'd only need to walk 400 feet up the road straight into another job.

Tbh I find this a bit puzzling - if Thompson wanted rid of SC why did he give him a new contract recently?

The cynic in me says that with season tickets to sell and the bonus row/ST to Oz controversy still hanging over the club, letting him go wasn't an option. There would have been an outcry.

Give him a contract then stitch him up and get him out the door first opportunity.

Makes me sick.

Tell you what if stevie Campbell gets the sack and them three absolute clowns are still there for Celtic I'll be going to the game to launch my season ticket right at Jackie and I'll no be back until he leaves!!

You'll not be back at all if you throw your book away ....
 

Heard the full story late last night and it's not good, clubs an absolute shambles.

Hope Stevie finds a good job elsewhere he can enjoy with decent people around him, unlike the clowns we currently have.

you being someone who is typically quite reserved TS, this has me quite concerned.

 
Well if telling a player he's on the bench and then bollocking him for refusing warrants sacking then as far as I'm concerned whatever idiots made that decision knows fuck all about the game and shouldn't be involved in it.

Looks like you were right all along to be raging mate.

f ucking brutal stuff if that's the case.  To be honest, if that's IT, that's an absolute disgrace of the highest order.  F uck me.  I've had a youth manager literally hold me up against a wall and give me a rollicking in front of the entire squad at Carlisle, and I f ucking deserved it. 

If what you say is true TS, you can expect nothing but a "gross misconduct" type of general explanation from the Club.  So will be almost impossible to confirm.

But we don't know if that is the story though

Looked at the stuff on EF and have to say it looks like a second hand rumour.....would treat with caution.

In reality neither party is likely to divulge any details (unless it results in legal action) so, one way or another we're going to get months of rumour on this one.

Quite possibly one/some may be dead right....but we'll have no way of confirming.

Yeah, ive been careful to use the "IF" word throughout here.  I have my inclinations on it thought.  Think you're right Scarpia, whatever statement the Club releases will be pretty bland and unless we hear from SC directly (which I believe is impossible due to confidentiality) we might never get this confirmed.

Let me add something else Scarpia... around April, I remember B&T (sorry for the call-out) going on UnitedMAD at the time and insinuating something about boys being pushed to a particular agent...  I asked B&T specifically if it was Jackson but I dont think he was prepared to confirm.

I think this is a disgrace honestly, just my feelings on it as you know.  But this will be near impossible to confirm.

Had a wee scout around on that issue and he's not currently listed as a registered intermediary on the FIFA website.

There may be some confusion as he has a namesake operating out of England.

Would put that one down to the rumour mill for now.

'They are investigating a lot of things.'

Have all these allegations happened to arise in the past week? Or are the club digging up any little thing in order to tarnish a man's reputation and make their decision stick?

This sounds to me like muckraking.

The problem for United though, or specifically those making the allegations, is that Campbell is well-known throughout the city and beyond by probably thousands of Arabs as a friend, coach or just someone who takes time to speak to them in the street. They know exactly the character of the man. This won't wash. It's only going to reflect badly on those who are trying to tarnish him.

Im having a really hard time trying to stay level headed about this.  Some bizarre statements there.  Look at some point, if the "things" being investigated are that serious, would it be a matter for authorities?  Such as if he'd leathered someone. 

Who would be conducting the investigation? They want us to sit on our hands over this but they dont make it f ucking easy do they.  Doesnt smell right at all.  Just dont trust him, more noteworthy maybe would be that I am starting to lose trust in the Club as a whole over this.
