Looks like a done deal.
I assume you mean "looks like an article that says the same thing as every article has for the last month or so"?
Exactly. :)Quote:

ok, we are aids to the ffaQuote:
freeing up funds for a possible rescue of the brisbane roar
It'll be news again tomorrow.
Reports in UK say it's sorted based on assumptions made in reports made in Australia.
Reports in Australia say that reports in UK say it's sorted.
Reports in UK say that reports in Australia say it's sorted.
Rinse and repeat until it's sorted on way or the other.
you forgot the key link: somebody on forum posts that there is a report out of the UK saying that it's sorted. would go between line 1 and line 2.Quote:

"positive developments are transpiring"? who writes that shit?
Spin merchants. Can guarantee that some FFA suit has given Benny a list of things he is allowed to reply with for questions about ownership.Quote:

So...will Thompson be at the members launch next week?
Would be nice just two weeks out from the season - would love to get this bedded down before then as it would be a major boost to all in the club.
Surely this close theres some whispers about this shiz getting sorted?
I heard a rumour last week that early this week it would be settled. Can't remember from whom I heard the rumour or how legit
sst said it will be sorted today, so just keeping their hit and miss ratio to 30/70
I reckon jones' departure might be linked.
New boss would surely want his own people somewhere near the squad.
Dundee United currently in 2nd last spot with only 5 points after 8 games in the SPL! Some guy called Eck Beattie on the Jets Facebook page has totally unleashed on Thompson with this....
[]Must be the colour orange Steven Thompson dosnt like .
He s ruined Dundee United s credibility as a club in Scotland and now has his greedy hands on your guys .
Well done on the victory.
Dundee United have won 4 in 27 games due to Thompsons lack of ambition for team sucess..
Thompson is hated here , and that came from an official Federation of supporters association .
Its all about personal profit with him destroying a strong United team in the process .
We are now second bottom of the SPFL with no signs of improvement , all down to your new owner selling everything worth selling ,arrogantly refusing to talk or explain his actions .
He is soon to be calling the shots down under ... good luck .....
After the despair of Tinkler things are starting to look a little brighter again, then I read this!.....God help us if this is true about Thompson!!!
This is no surprise. Rather expected. Enjoy suckers and thanks cvnts of the ffa, you can go build brisbane up.
always had my doubts about his cash flow and effectiveness to provide funds for marquees ect. then you cop a hiding off people saying he turned dundee around rah rah rah. i suggest some people to read eddies army forum and see what the blokes all about.
FMD we just lucky to exist.....
It's like getting on a roller coaster. Bitching and whinging the whole time your on it. You get off. See a big line and think "this ride must be good, the line is so long".
When you get to the front it's the same damn roller coaster you were on before.
Like anyone on this forum could cope if the club wasn't a basket case. Shit owner = shit club = no finals = more shit to talk about on forum.
Let's just see what transpires eh?
The deal isn't over the line and remember in this case it is Thompson being part of a consortium with FFA demanding local involvement.
I don't mind if he is all about finding players making them better and selling them, itd be a nice change from the current standard of finding players and making them worse and having to wait until their contract is up.
At least this way we will hopefully have some players playing decent football while they are here!
Glass half full hey, its not a thought process used by many of us but im going to give it a try!
seriously tho if the ffa want us sold and he has been keen to own us for some time now how long can it take to work out a deal ....... if either party hadnt got what they wanted by now you would just move on and look for other opportunities wouldnt you ? no way should it be taking this long to sort out a sale agreement !
But if your Thompson waiting as long as possible is your go.Quote:

Smell the roses fellas, why is Thompson keen to invest in the Jets?.....certainly not out of the goodwill of his heart to make the Jets a powerhouse. Dundee United and his business interests are his priority, the Newcastle Jets are low down on his priorities. I'm not going to even attempt to guess what his overall agenda is in wanting to buy into the Jets but my gut feeling is that long term he is not the answer in bringing stability and continuity to the club. Fair enough if he is part of a consortium where he has input but I would be very wary if he were to have a majority stakehold and have the final say in decisions.
He wants sunshine.
As if you'd live in Scotland if you could live in newy.
Have heard he will relocate.
His daughter lives in AustraliaQuote:

dun deel apparently, we will have to wait till after kick off for it to take effect
His sister seems most likely to take over as chairwoman at Dundee if he steps away. 98% sure he has a daughter hereQuote:
