BREAKING NEWS: Dundee Utd Say No to Rangers Newco in SPL.

Dundee Utd have just issued this statement on their website after meeting with their fans...

"Dundee United tonight met with Supporters' groups to discuss the newco situation prior to the all club vote on the proposal to transfer Rangers share on 4th July.

Following what was a robust and constructive meeting, the Club's position on how we will vote was substantiated by the viewpoint of the various supporters groups. The meeting finished with all in agreement as to what the correct course of action would be.

The Board of Directors of Dundee United are unequivocal in the belief that a form of sporting punishment must form part of the reasoning behind any decision made and, therefore, cannot vote the newco into the SPL. General sporting integrity and, more importantly, the integrity of Scottish football must also play a significant part in the decision making process. It is our belief that any form of sporting punishment must be unambiguous in the message it displays.

The financial well being of the Club, both in the short and long term, must also be at the forefront of our thoughts. We would encourage our supporters to purchase season ticket books as a show of support to our Club. The Board of Directors will act in the best interest of Dundee United and our supporters and Scottish football on this matter. The financial consequences of not showing this support for our Club are extremely serious."

Yaaaaaas!

[Cabbage East]

Well in United. Although I can understand why clubs won't come out and issue statements until after the vote. Saying nothing and then voting no hurts the huns more.

[GreenCastle]

Going to be pretty obvious who will vote YES as they won't release a statement.

On the other hand - everyone could release a statement and July 4th will then be a foregone conclusion.

Can't see them being in the SPL (I know many won't believe it till they see it official) - the next question is what happens next - does the SFL want them?

Can see it going 3 ways -

1 - SFL 3
2 - Reforming into a new SPL2 - basically a compromise to get them in
3 - No football at Ibrox next season -

[Pretty Boy]

Pretty clear warning there about the financial implications of not supporting the club next season.

Hibs fans take note.

It should be #1 but I suspect it will be #3 then #2 one year from now.

Havent heard much from the succulent lamb journos recently. Reckon a few characters are wondering what kind of living they're going to be able to make from sniffing the seats in Sevco5088 FC's boardroom.

Hibs fans also take note that if the club says NO to the Newco then WE have to fill the revenue gap........get your season tickets bought if you really do want a No vote

[joe breezy]

If fans don't support their clubs next season the clubs will be ****ed

The strength of support has to be as strong as the boycott was going to be

Yep.

If we want the no vote then we as a support have to help make up the loss of income.

Renew a season ticket, buy one, if you can't afford that get to one extra game a season, buy a strip, buy a pie but whatever it is do your bit.

For anyone that can get on followfollow, the United statement thread is classic viewing.

Very much so PB......I would urge any Hibs fan that can possibly afford a season, half season or a few walk ups next season to really try and do so. This really is a crucial time for Scottish football, a day I've welcomed, but a day which means we truly do need to get behind Hibernian in the form of getting to the games at ER.

Nail on head.

Celtic apart, all of the SPL clubs are going to need their supporters to invest next season. I hope that every supporter who can afford to does. The clubs are making a brave decision here - and whilst we as fans can all opine that it is clearly a no brainer decision on the sporting integrity front, I don't want to see my club follow Rangers and get into financial difficulties as a result. Watershed moment.

Totally agree, I get across for quote a few games but will make more of an effort once NewCo are in SFL3 or lower.

Time for the United fans to step up to the plate. If there's footage of a queue out the door of the ticket office on tomorrow's news off the back of this statement it'll make the decision much easier for a lot of clubs.

Let's all go up and stand in the queue.

[WhileTheChief..]

Brilliant news.

This might just be the shot in the arm that the game here needs.

I can see a lot more fans getting behind their clubs next season as a show of support for doing the right thing.

2nd place in the league will be up for grabs for a number of clubs which might mean Champs League again? or at least an extra Euro spot for someone outside the OF.

It should also mean a more exciting league with more meaningful games which leads to more fans etc. Maybe we've reached the bottom and this can be the start of something much better

[GreenCastle]

The next few years (probably 3 seasons) when Rangers are out the league will be crucial for Hibs.

If they can really push on and build then it could be exciting times - if ever we needed to support the club it's strangely now.

Regarding the investment into Rangers - could a few more clubs come out and state they are saying NO then would Green and people looking to invest be scared away - putting them in even more problems

[down-the-slope]

I don't really do league away games these days...but if DUFC folloe this through I will make a point of going to our opener with them.....

Supporters really need to back up their words and if we get the result and change thats so badly needed then we need to step up and do our bit

[CMac1988]

I also agree that the teams that vote no need the extra support from their fans to help supplement any loss in revenue.

Spot on, as well as supporting Hibs we should try to pack out the away ends at all the clubs who voted no, they will all deserve it

If the right decision is made here I can see myself maybe getting on the road a bit more and going tae some away games again helping out those clubs that done the right thing. Even if the huns get voted out I would still boycott any clubs I knew that voted for them though.

I intend to try and attend a few more away games next season.

Show some solidarity and all that. Only away game I probably won't attend is Kilmarnock who as of now have hinted they will back Newco huns. No surprise there though.

[hibby72]

dufc say no to rangers into spl ,,6 more to go hahaha

[allezsauzee]

kudos to them and mad vlad for coming out and saying how they will vote

[LancashireHibby]

Not sure if it's been mentioned anywhere, but FIFA rules have been changed since Airdrie bought out Clydebank, so that particular route is definitely OUT for The Rangers;
"3. Altering the legal form or company structure of a club to facilitate its qualification on sporting merit and/or its receipt of a licence for a domestic league championship, to the detriment of the integrity of a sports competition, is prohibited. this includes, for example, changing the headquarters, changing the name or transferring stakeholdings between different clubs."
