Tekel Towers » players getting binned

ST at St Andrews for 1-1 meetings with the squad to inform them if they are staying or being punted.

Oh to be a fly on the wall at those meetings:

Who stays, who goes??

bowers · 04/5/2016 2:55 pm

Have been told that dillon murray spittal fraser staying as dont need to take a paycut.

Under contract players to be offered a wage cut or are free to leave.

Was told this half hour ago.

Silver · 04/5/2016 3:04 pm

Part 2 of the "radical changes" promise being delivered as we speak.

shedba · 04/5/2016 3:06 pm

Erskine way to partick now, Fraser and Spittal only 2 not asked to take pay cut or told they can leave presumably because their our only hope for £££, every c*** else told they can go

Andy · 04/5/2016 3:30 pm

Is this what you've heard Shedba or what you want?

I would be happy with this, as long as the pay cut offered was average Championship wage with good bonus for winning the league.

Not delighted with keeping our demoted captain but would be okay with him staying as our number 12, great sub to have due to his experience and versatility but shouldn't start.

Spot on, he can't be accused of doing anything on the cheap or not fronting up in this case.

WTF is Dillon not being asked to take a wage cut?

So we will potentially let a very good prospect like Zwick just walk away for free..but Dillo the 'Golden Boy' can stay on his current wage for leading us to abject failure?

Jeez.

Maybe Dillon will be filling two roles next season Tek.
Cant really agree with you about Zwick, the mistake against Dunfermilne was one of the worst Ive seen. He might mature into a half decent keeper in 3 or 4 years but that's not what we need now.

Mass Debates · 04/5/2016 4:07 pm

Sean will need to do the phone messages again as McKay is away so that is worth a bit extra in the pocket surely!!
Also he's a mainstay on Arabzone so it keep they guys with at least someone to talk to over the season ahead.

bowers · 04/5/2016 4:12 pm

Dillon took a cut last year to stay so imagine its on what they r budgeting for next season.
This is just whats getting drip fed just now so may not be accurate.

Have been told zwick staying also.

Zwick
Dillon
Spittal
Fraser
Murray

lifesanocean · 04/5/2016 4:16 pm

I would have kept Zwick, Donaldson, Murray, Fraser, Spittal, Telfer, Spark and Paton. I could have also understood Dixon, Anier and Durnan being kept on since its probably their level. The rest can gtf.

In that case fair enough.

Personally i'd be brutal and punt Dillon if i was the incoming Manager.He's finished and should hang-up his boots.

Hopefully no more get added to that list. Bowman should probably be offski too.

bowers · 04/5/2016 4:20 pm

I would bin Dillon also.

Agree bowman to go aswel

bowers · 04/5/2016 4:28 pm

SKY SOURCES understand all #DundeeUnited players who are out of contract in the summer will not be offered new contracts 1/2
Also players who remain under contract are free to find new clubs apart from Blair Spittal, Simon Murray Scott Fraser & Luis Maria Zwick 2/2

Tek · 04/5/2016 4:33 pm

I take it this only extends to first team players?

We're not binning the Development lads if they don't take a cut also?Surely?

bowers · 04/5/2016 4:45 pm

Not sure TEK
Id assume not as they will be on low wages and alot will be used next season

04/5/2016 4:47 pm

Does ST realise we still have 3 games to play this season? I know they are meaningless but half the team will be giving zero fucks!

No mention of Dillon.

Thank fuck.

PatReilly · 04/5/2016 4:50 pm

This is appeasement, and it should really have been held over at least until after a week on Saturday, in my view.

It won't save any cash between now and then, and it seems ST is maybe attempting it now to try to get the fans onside. And who is it that is making these football decisions? It must be the board, who have not been reliable in many other areas recently.

I'd have held back until the new 'head coach' had been secured, or a DoF.

Certainly, a clear out is required, and I may agree mostly with the list of those potentially leaving, but I don't really trust the judgement of the board at present.

Because there's been an abundance of fucks given in the first 35 games...

Play the kids, fuck the flops.

bowers · 04/5/2016 5:01 pm

Id play alot of the dev squad on friday
These boys will be a big part next season give them game time starting friday

Andy · 04/5/2016 5:06 pm

I know it's not popular to like anything ST does but I love this move.

These players are fucking shite. Get them away to fuck.

He hired the managers who signed the shite, he sacked the managers who played the shite and now he's getting rid, like 90% of our fans would do too if given the opportunity.

Don't get me wrong, I want ST out and a change of ownership, chairmanship and stewardship ASAP but far too often players get off with being shite while the manager and owners carry the can.

I think (most of) the players are shite BTW.

04/5/2016 5:09 pm

Can't argue with the decisions for the most part, just don't agree with the timing.
