Have heard this also..

  Will be alot of staff at tannadice full and part time who will sadly lose jobs and or take pay/hour cuts

Thought arabtrust pump thousands into the youth set up year after year? Does anyone know how much ?

Pretty sad that some of the people at the club who have been doing their jobs well, for relatively poor reward, will lose employment due to poor leadership.

I'm concerned for the folk on reception, in hospitality and so on, who might see hours cut. They communicate when issues need attended to, and give a positive outlook of the club. 

On the other hand, those at the top appear to feel too superior to talk to the support, or even acknowledge any communications made with them, however they (Thompson, Martin, McGrory and Bennett) take the full blame for where we are today, and are responsible for any job losses. 

They don't talk to the fans, and the four of them aren't even all on talking terms with each other.

Regarding the run down of the youth set up, it's only my opinion, but it would be the culmination of the work put in place by Thompson and McNamara three years ago, where we appeared to decide producing our own players would be abandoned  and replaced by bringing in other clubs' players with potential. I'm sure this must have been the beginning of the rift with Stevie Campbell.

How many of our own youths have made the first team in the last three years?

This is the rub of it, in a nutshell.  Jackie didn't get cuts from homegrown talent being sold on was my understanding.  Winding down our youth setup completely is madness.  Stripped back a bit, yes and all the shite brought in by Jackie rightly have been binned.  But this is just throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
