Apparently there are no relegation related clauses in any of the players contracts. It was discussed on radio after the Derby game and the relegation was made official.

It seems almost like a belief that relegation couldn't happen. Well most of the supporters could see it as a probability last summer.

All his post said was that he was glad Thompson didn't accept the bids Rangers made, not that Thompson or United were wrong to do so. But don't let that get in the way of a wee bit of Rangers bashing if it makes you feel better at this difficult time. Apologies it was in to the original point - as why some rangers fans hate United and ST. The goodwillie situation and United asking for payment for the postponed game ( which was out of order) and a few other things seem to have contributed to Rangers fans resentment towards United.

Every team in Scotland should have these types of clauses included as standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. It's no different from an annual review that happens at almost every workplace now. In fact it's much fairer as it's less subjective. It's always annoyed me how players can perform pathetically but the club can't do anything about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamntg Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Good if pointless win for Utd tonight, even if they did their upmost to throw it away. Interesting to hear Rankin say at the end that it was a relief to be able to get he ball down and pass rather than go long and defend for their lives. And I think that's been the whole problem - didn't trust themselves to play football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamntg Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 Oh aye, I'm sure Mixu's plan was to get the ball forward quickly. We can see how successful it was. Ray McKinnon in for Tuesday you reckon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberdeenAngus Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 On that postponed game - did Utd really do much wrong? Fairly certain that the league rules state that if 45 mins played no refund due. They did reduce prices did they not for the rearranged match? There would have been the issue of covering the costs for both games too so understandable that some admission charge had to be levied. Not sure if there any other recent games which have been specifically abandoned at ht to compare Utd's actions against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure at what point in the match it was stopped though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
