    Goodwillie Fee (goes straight to the bank)

    Did anybody else hear that on the radio?

    All of the fee Utd got for Goodwillie has been taken by the bank, and Stephen Thompson saying the family have no more money for the club.

    Could they be next to go into administration??
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    The fee must cover a significant part of the debt.I doubt DU are in the most difficulty but who knows. Basically we are almost all broke or heading that way.

    I hear that too. I doubt they'll be closest to administration but I imagine their fans will be pretty displeased, especially after today's result as well. I doubt the Thomsons will let them go into administration but I think their position is they won't be funding transfer fees or a bigger squad.

    No, not just signed. According to the BBC he signed a 2 year deal in July.

    Strange that he'd be training/on trial at Tannadice a month later. Maybe TQM can clear up what he was doing there?

    The ladies college, I presume.

    I didn't think he got a fair a crack at Hibs. He returned from injury to a struggling team.

    Don't know about that. According to the beeb they've got to sell another player (don't ask me who) before the widow shuts or the bank will move in.

    I'd love to know why Arab players/staff have said this in recent days to agents/fans .. Bizarre! Absolutely bizarre!

    Are they not also pretty indebted to the Thomson family? It also appears that Thomson junior is nowhere near as benevolent as his old man was and while admin is not looming it is interesting times ahead for United.

    Exactly the same as Gretna when Brooks Mileson wasnt at the reins.

    It shows what a worry depending on the benevolence of one man to keep funding losses is.

    IIRC, the last funds ST put in were via a soft loan - but it was a loan, and not additional investment.

    I'm not sure Houston isn't just spouting - the Goodwillie sale cover a large chunk of the debt.

    Their financial results over last fews years are most likely a net profit.

    If United need to sell their version of a golden generation, then it is hardly the first time that has happened in the SPL. Cash bids for players before the deadline maybe hard to knock back.. Scott Alan looks a real find.

    The figures I have for Utd between 2001 and 2009 show a cumulative loss of £11.7m and only a profit in 07-08.

    I am told for 2009-2010 they showed a profit of £66k. Its worth noting that they won the SC Cup in this time and finished third in the league. Also showed that they were loaned £435k from ST.

    We do but the United analogy is a good one as they are the team I would have held up as an example of punching above their weight. While they are not in trouble by any means they are having to re-evaluate where they are and what they are doing. They have been as successful as is really possible in Scotland over the last two years yet their average attendance has fallen by near 20% in that time and this year they are reporting seasons have fallen by 18% on the previous season. On top of that it's Thomson money that is keeping them on an even keel. And this is not Vlad type mayhem this is a well run club which proves its a very difficult trick to pull off.
