Stephen McGowan says just under £600,000 for us (If you go through his comments he says "10% of the Celtic profit after original £1m fee. So likely to be just under £600k"

But once Jackie and Thompson get their share of the fee, how much to the actual club? £400-500k?? Not a lot of money to be fair. Gaffer will prob get £50k, rest to cover shortfall, pay debts etc..

All reports at the time of the sale were £1.6M for Armstrong not £1M
It was also 20% not 10% at the time
The 20% was also referred to again when we tried to loan ciftci back a couple of seasons ago - deal was if we removed the Armstrong sell on as Celtic figured it was too high an amount.

Where has McGowan got his alternate figures from?
Also, McNamara was sacked - doubt he is still entitled to the bonus scheme
The ginger tim is saying 700k.

Unfortunately I stopped following him on Twitter - what with him being a smarmy prick and all 😂😂

"The Tannadice club inserted a 10 per cent sell-on clause in the deal that took him to Parkhead - although it's understood the sum they are due will be a tenth of the difference between the two transfer fees.

That means United will rake in around £540,000."

To cut out the shite and bickering it would be good and refreshing to hear fae the club what they plan to do with the money after the previous capers that split the support regarding selling players, gaining from selling & where the money goes etc.

MM has a problem convincing an important section of the support that he is to be trusted after being beside ST and influential. Talks the talk but doubted through association. Opportunity to show us something honest fae the start and witness the plan onwards and judge him fairly as he asks us to do.

Agree with most of this but are you suggesting that some sections of the suppprt are more important than others

I think the idea that some supporters are not better / more important than others is flawed.
I have a season ticket but don’t attend many away games. I’d say someone that does attend away games as well, organised buses, flag displays and fundraisers is a better / more important supporter than me. I’d say I was more valuable to the club than someone that never attends.
I know this view isn’t popular as it can hurt some feelings but I think it’s just the way it is

Surely all season ticket holders are as important as each other. This notion of the ITK superfan being more important to the club than fan X who buys his season ticket watches the match then goes home without foaming at the mouth is not accepted by myself

I said an important section of the support meaning sizeable/significant. I look forward to us being more united from the stands and in maximum numbers.

As far as some supporters being more important than others then of course some are more important for the club if you mean better vocally than quiet or just abusive, better at putting money into the club or organising and rallying for things that help us progresss or support in any better way.

Personally I get annoyed with anycunt thinking of themselves as above other fans or more important etc but...

Some fans who I would class as important in the way they support, recruit, back the team and club vocally and financially are missing after decades of doing really good things. It's important that they come back and do what they did.

It's important that MM does something to unite the support where possible and prove himself to be better than and very different from ST now that he's in charge.
