Dundee United

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Their decline has been a real shame. Scarily similar to ours under TB.

Yes, very similar - sold too many decent players & replaced them with crap.

Don't mind DU to be honest, always had a fairly good welcome when having a few beers in Dundee before/after games.

[Michael]

Got to say I'm somewhat enjoying their rapid decline - they were far too good for far too long.

This.

[high bee]

They're 8 behind with 12pts available, sure they've shown nothing to suggest they will do it but weve seen how the split can affect the league cause all the teams around each other are playing each other.

I'm not saying they will do, they won't cause the players have chucked the towel in and that looks like an acceptance of their fate today.

[TheFamous1875]

Scottish football needs a strong Dundee United. :cb

Apart from when they relegated us and gave us all sorts of smug abuse.

Hope they go doon and stay doon.

[Hermit Crab]

They sold the family silver and now they are suffering because of it.

[Dashing Bob S]

They really have to let that Matty Jack incident go. They haven't been the same club since.

There's far worse abuse been dished out than from DU & their fans, I don't mind them TBH.

What a strange comment. Just because they achieved some success (but without the financial doping that Hearts and Sevco were guilty of) you take pleasure in seeing them fall on their faces?

Depends what you mean by doping - Eddie Thompson chucked money at them for years.

[Big L]

They have been a well run club for decades, always selling well and bringing thru lots of young players! The last two they sold to Celtic was a step to far, they didn't have the players to replace them this time. As for their chairman, you wouldn't follow him out of curiosity!

How much money did Thomson chuck at them?

[Peevemor]

How much money did Thomson chuck at them?

£5.5m according to his son


My dad put in the first instalment of what has amounted to £5.5million in Dundee United over the last decade when they were flirting with relegation. That’s a lot of money and it effectively saved the club

Hopefully get relegated, then relegated again.

[Waxy]

Scottish football wont survive without Dundee utd in the top league.

[Eyrie]

Probably because that result meant that they were safe because we were officially relegated. I think I'm still recovering from the resultant attempt to drown my sorrows.

What made it worse was that we opened the scoring through Brebner.

In truth I have to agree, that part of me is enjoying watching their decline. In my defence, I know two Dundee Utd fans, and they have always taken great delight in our clubs decline - they openly say Dundee Utd is a bigger club than Hibs which I just don't agree with.

[Canon Hannan]

They sold their best players for profit. Their Acadamy had some internal issues and the club suffered. I feel sorry for their fans. They will recover as they have money behind them. But Killie would struggle.

[Greencore]

Got no problem with Dundee United. Just people from Dundee supporting their local team when they could either Choose Celtc or the Rangers. They remind me of us with selling of their best talent. Good luck to them next season obviously not if we are still in this league..

[SJM]

Have they not went from about 6 top 6 in a row to relegation? Their plight is actually worse than ours, least we where staring **** in the face for ages.

Can Dundee relegate them? That would be a hoot at Dens.

What happened to that youth coach that got punted after gardening leave? Surely worth a shout to sign him up at Easter Road when you see all the players they brought through and punted.

We could do a lot worse than Paul Paton too, sure we nearly signed him last season. Rankin too if we are still down here. Some engine in the middle of the park.

[Big_Franck]

Apart from when they relegated us and gave us all sorts of smug abuse.

Hope they go doon and stay doon.

Agreed. I still remember their fans goading us after Olofsson scored at Easter Road to relegate us. I was looking forward to revenge in the play-offs but it looks like they've chucked it and will be going straight down. Up yaes.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Nae tears here.

[Thecat23]

I was there when they put us down and I'll take great delight seeing them suffer! Crap team with crap fans.

[Diclonius]

Grew up in Carnoustie and have a few Dundee United supporting mates, so will be sad to see them go down. The OP is correct though, their decline has mirrored ours in that the owner was more than happy to pocket the profits from selling big players and replacing it with *****. They absolutely detest Thompson.

[SJM]

Fyvie, McGinn, Bartley and McGeouch are all much better players than Rankin, no thanks.


Hardly showed it at hampden the second half when he ran the show and all of extra time!

[Hibs90]

No thanks to Rankin. Might be a decent pro but he's utter garbage.

[Sean1875]

went to uni in Dundee and can't say I have any issues with the club or their fans.. got a few mates that support them. will be a shame to see them go down! would much rather see Killie down, their old firm sympathising is brutal

To be fair to the Killie fans they were furious at the club bending over to the currant buns ..... you cant blame a clubs fans for the shameful acts of its owners. Unless they willingly turn a blind eye to it of course ... they know who they are :greengrin

[Peevemor]

I wouldn't call that financial doping tbh. A wealthy man ploughing his own money into the club he owns is a different scenario to what hearts and rangers ended up doing.
They both spent way beyond their owners' wealth, spending money they would never be able to pay back; stealing massively from hmrc, local businesses, etc etc.

I agree and I have no real problem with Dundee Utd.

However, they did live outwith their means for a few years and there were many on hear who were shouting for STF to follow Eddie Thompson's example.

[NAE NOOKIE]

I was there that day and it looked and sounded a hell of a lot more like revelling in our pain than a celebration of their team staying up if you ask me. I have a lot of time for Dundee Utd as a club, they have produced some fantastic to watch teams that would have attracted big crowds to ER if they had been Hibs teams.

But after the way their fans acted that day I'll laugh my arse off if Dundee relegate them next week .... some of us have long memories :greengrin

Added to the fact they where managed by Locke and have about 5 former Jambos in their side including that sank hamill I really hope we relegate they chants.

[Dashing Bob S]

Dundee United supplanted us as the go-to club of youth development in the late seventies, and our fortunes nose-dived after that, while they became a force.

In the last thirty years, you rarely have decent Hibs and Dundee United sides at the same time.

So while I've nothing against the club or its fans, I'm not going to lament its decline. Scottish football is a small pond and all clubs cannot be successful at the same time.

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

I like wee Ranks. Seems a genuinely good guy.

[Tyler Durden]

Dundee Utds decline is similar to Hibs in the sense of appointing a disastrous manager. For Butcher see Mixu.

Mixu took over in October, there was plenty time to turn it around. He's had money and bought very poorly and also failed to make the best of the squad he had. Looks like the players have little respect for him either

Otherwise Utd haven't done much wrong. McNamara did a great job and they were hardly wrong to sell players. They made good money for players who had outgrown them - every other club in Scotland does the same.

[Keyser Sauzee]

They really have to let that Matty Jack incident go. They haven't been the same club since.


What was the Matty Jack incident??

[Ozyhibby]

I'm a bit worried that they appear to have had about a year to prepare for the championship.

Really? I don't think you would describe their side as prepared for anything. They weren't even prepared to put up a fight at home to Hamilton.

Weigh that up against our possible third attempt at being prepared for a promotion fight and I think we would have the edge.

[DH1875]

Mixu will be gone and think they have something like 14 players out of contract in the summer. Will be a totally different team which starts next season for them.

Were United not seriously struggling before the appointment? Whereas we were sitting 7th (?) when Butcher took us over before a catastrophic collapse.

[KeithTheHibby]

No sympathy from me.

Sold their best players at the drop of a hat with no investment being put back in the team, hard to feel sorry for them in any shape or form.

[DUX]

Yes agree with you.

I was surprised at Mixu admitting on tv during interview that he had made mistakes and he looked beaten.

Not like the Mixu we remember.

Think too he will be gone and most of the players with him. Would'nt mind their midfielder Paul Paton or defender Paul Dixon for next season at ER.

A very very dodgy last minute penalty for Hibs involving Matty Jack resulting in us winning 1-0. I think I've got that correct. :greengrin

[BroxburnHibee]

My memory is hazy but we won the penalty after Matty didn't give the ball back to them after they had put it out for an injury?

[stantonhibby]

I think it was more to do with us not giving them the ball back at a throw in as their time wasting had reached epic proportions.

[Michael]

Rankin did absolutely nothing for us. Often it would take a good 80 minutes to realise he was on the pitch. Maybe he did a bit better at United - but I can't believe anyone would want him back.

[BroxburnHibee]

He is the same garbage we released 5 years ago, our current midfield players are much better.

[21.05.2016]

Same story to us - sold all their best players and replaced them with rubbish.

Don't like them, especially not after that **** Houston and the whole Skacel 5-1 nonsense

[Big_Franck]

I'd completely forgotten about that. All the more reason to enjoy the fact that they're struggling now.

[RoxburghHibs]

It wasn't the penalty decision that got them angry. It was because it happened when they expected the ball to be returned.

However I recall their players were at it and clearly time wasting. We were correct not to return the ball and they got what they deserved that day.

[eastterrace]

Probably because that result meant that they were safe because we were officially relegated. I think I'm still recovering from the resultant attempt to drown my sorrows. What made it worse was that we opened the scoring through Brebner. Justin skinner going off changed the game as we were pretty comfortable 1-0 at the time

[Hibernia&Alba]

Like ourselves, they're a big club in Scottish terms and shouldn't be in this position. I've never had anything against them or their fans, and feel for them. We know what it's like!

Tangerine isn't a good look, however!

[Tyler Durden]

Were United not seriously struggling before the appointment? Whereas we were sitting 7th (?) when Butcher took us over before a catastrophic collapse.

Yes you're right. Utd had 5 points from their first 9 games. Very different but my point was more that they'll be relegated due to bad management - not due to selling players and not reinvesting.

Mixu could have had a back 4 of Paul Dixon, Ryan McGowan, Souttar and Gunning or Dillon. He had Spittal, Rankin, Erskine, Dow, Billy McKay.

Then allowed to bring in Demel and Sinama-Pongolle plus a few others. They've had more than enough quality to stay up.

If you're a Scottish team selling players for £1-£2m+ then your replacements aren't going to be of the same quality. It doesn't mean your replacements are so bad to get you relegated - bad management

The fans are calling for his head now, they are are in a worse state now than they were when JM was manager. They are one defeat from relegation and to make matters worse for them Dundee could relegate them as thats their next league match next Monday live on tv.

They sold their assets and never reinvested in the team, Thomson has waived his salary but its too late for gestures like that. The fans have had enough, protests after Sundays defeat to Hamilton, I expect big changes there in the summer.

Didn't go Spent a weekend in Dublin as just wanted to get away Spent some time in the Tempe Bar area with a bus load of Barnsley fans all decked out in colours and they were doing the same thing as they also got relegated
But agree united have paid the price for selling prize assets too quickly and mot brining ing in good enough quality in return
Thompson has made it clear he isnt investing in them like his father did so tend to think he may look to get out once down and squad will be cut back further until new investor /owner comes in
Mixu must of know how difficult a job that was He looks well scunnered when having these run in with players

Unless you do a Butcher and take a mid table team down I always think it's a bit harsh sacking someone who took over a team on the way down anyway. Usually there are good reasons they are down there that are difficult to turn round in a few months and one window.

He's certainly not a dreadful manager had Kilmarnock playing some great football and got us a top 6 Finish which was commendable giving we quickly deteriorated after.. and although he failed at Finland not many dreadful managers can say they managed on the international stage.
