adamntg Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) Utd should just have picked another club to sell GMS or Armstrong to. That said, would have been difficult to pick when only Celtic were interested. They should've held onto GMS and tried to sell Armstrong out of Scotland in the summer, not two weeks before a cup final. I think they know that now. 2000 lost season tickets as a consequence will cost them £600k and up. Edited June 30, 2015 by adamntg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenneth Farrington Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 So, in short, the Utd fans aren't buying season tickets because of Celtic & if Thompson says he'll sell Ciftci to anyone but Celtic, they'll all come flooding back? Eh right, OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Och Aye Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Gervinho's move to a team in UAE has sadly fallen through due to a couple of wee transfer demands he made. A helicopter and a private beach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 renege rɪˈneɪɡ,rɪˈniːɡ/ verb go back on a promise, undertaking, or contract. We never went back on it. We met every payment we were due to pay. The bank then approached us with a deal to cut ties. At no time did we fail to honour the terms of the bank loan, fail to pay players or fail to pay HMRC. Most people on this thread understand that. Shame you seem unable to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several other clubs came to same agreement with the bank. Unlike Greece we've a good credit rating and have always paid our bills. Shame the Queens 11 owe HMRC millions in unpaid tax.

AberdeenAngus Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Right, so Utd are in the position now that they'll turn down an improved offer from Celtic of say £1.3-1.5m for a player who they'll lose for nothing purely out of spite? I wouldn't be spite. If fans are holding back on buying season tickets it would be madness to let another player go to the same rival club as 2 others 6 months ago which caused a lot of anger at Tannadice. Its a bit like in 2012 when fans of many clubs said they wouldn't buy season or match tickets if Newco Sevco were handed a place in the top league. The clubs had to listen to their customers then and I imagine Utd will be doing so again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunchy Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I'm still trying to understand where Killie didn't pay there debts and where the queens 11 did pay all there debts. I could have sworn it was the other way round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhumper Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Probably about as funny as you trying to take the moral high ground on football finances when Kilmarnock didn't even pay their debt back really. We were paying it back and had been doing so for years (you lot should try it some day) and would have continued to do so. However the bank wanted out quick and took a % of the remaining debt to get out of football lending. What were we supposed to do? Do what you did and refuse to pay anything and go into administration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now about these delusions you're having about your club being financially sound, I'd seek help. No help needed thanks. I've got the accounts in the house. Zero debt, zero creditors. Zero overdraft. Still own stadium, gym, sports bar and car park and surrounding land so as far as football clubs for we're financially sound. Only one team out of killie and Rangers in debt and it's not us.

Doesn't matter how many times you post the facts re population and attendance's some of the best fans in the world still trot out the, " you should support your team more" sh@te.
