Bah, it's all hot air. I cannot see the ffa allowing a club to be placed into administration without the ability to take the license back. Tinks, please just shut the **** up and piss off already.

Got to love the FFA's luck here.
Tinkler had of sold to Dundee group and the money goes in Tinker's pocket.
Stripping him of the licence and they can then hock it to Dundee group. Might get themselves 2-3million for **** all effort
Brisvegas ?.
Wouldnt be suprised to see the sale go through in the next fortnight to be honest. Not sure weather they will shop us around to get top dollar, or hock us off to first suitable option
then straight to the Sydney's banks accounts #24hrcynic
Statement from Stephen Thompson to Dundee United fans, Hot aff the press.........
Chairman’s Statement
May 20, 2015
“It’s not unusual for football club board members to have other business interests and I’m no different. There are confidentiality agreements in place regarding the situation in Australia that stop me going into further detail but I want to make it clear that my priority first and foremost is to Dundee United as Chairman and a supporter of the Club.
“The Board and I remain focused on matters here and are supporting the management team in getting our young squad ready for next season.
“Results haven’t gone our way of late but I’ve had positive meetings with Jackie in recent days about where we are and where we’re going and he has the full support of the board in building on the job he started.
“United has a five-year strategy covering football, finance and community; we’re almost two years through it and are already ahead of schedule.
“Of course we’ve lost good players along the way but we’re developing and bringing in new ones as well as trying to retain others. We’ve just secured Seán Dillon’s commitment to the Club and we’ve also offered contract extensions to Nadir Çiftçi and John Souttar.
“This club is a place top young managers are motivated to develop top young talent. That means at times we’ll be a springboard for some, which is fine if we’re achieving on the pitch and bringing in new talent like Justin Johnson, our most recent young signing.
“In recent years we’ve reached back-to-back cup finals, won the Scottish Cup for only the second time in our history, enjoyed eight consecutive top six finishes and delivered European qualification, all while becoming one of the country’s most prolific producers of home grown talent. That’s the standard we have at United and it’s about not just maintaining that but improving upon it.
“Off the pitch we have obliterated bank debt and reduced overall debt, and while the process doesn’t always win you popularity contests, in the cold light of day it’s the right thing to do for our club. As a family club at the heart of a community, we’re proud of the fact our business is robust and has paid every penny in the pound to any creditor due it, particularly through times when not every club has been able to.
“In football circles United is held up as a model club in terms of its strategy of developing talent and selling on at profit, and I for one stand by any strategy which is designed to get a club in the best shape possible off the pitch so it can achieve sustainable success on it.
“Of course that can mean some pain along the way but it’s for the long-term good of the Club and that’s what all fans want.
“Whether or not I pursue opportunities in Australia, I clearly have a major emotional tie here which my sister Justine shares with me as a board member and we are fortunate to have a Board made up of people of varying skill sets who have the best interests of Dundee United at heart and the expertise to take the Club forward.“
So I take it now that we are run by the FFA we can have a pyro party and rip flares non stop at games now like the RBB did when FFA owned WSW??
I take it they don't fine themselves
Maybe we'll get a fair deal off the ref's now because we're all employed by the same organisation.So I take it now that we are run by the FFA we can have a pyro party and rip flares non stop at games now like the RBB did when FFA owned WSW??

**** yeah.
We should insist on getting all the dodgy reffing going our way this season to be confined to the 3 games V the Gypos.
Imagine the burn from them if we win and they are robbed by the ref
While it's great to see the FFA finally stepping in and appearing the savior for us I think we need to exercise an degree of caution.
Let's not forget, the FFA brought us Tinkler in the first place. This time I hope they are improving their due diligence on the consortium or the individual who will become the new owner. Not only that the new entity, whether they retain the Jets name or not, will have a massive job to re-engage with the community. But they've started by firstly removing Tinkler, and will continue by removing Stubbins. This will also re-engage the business community too as I've heard there are a lot of local businesses who want to join the club but refused to deal with HSG.
But lets not be naïve to think Tinkler will go quietly. While he's put millions into the club, he would want at least some return on his investment. I know I would. This is far from over.
There is a massive task which will start today to look at retaining employees, players and appointing coaching staff. Not only that, we've got half a squad to sign.
So while yesterday was the best day we've had in years, there's still something nagging away at me.

it would just be a tax deduction, we'd be doing them a favourSo I take it now that we are run by the FFA we can have a pyro party and rip flares non stop at games now like the RBB did when FFA owned WSW??

we will loose
We should demand seats on the hills to look more like Para stadiumSo I take it now that we are run by the FFA we can have a pyro party and rip flares non stop at games now like the RBB did when FFA owned WSW??

As I said to you yesterday I fully expect Tinkler to fight back. He may well be an arrogant **** but he isn't stupid.
A high level game of politics is being played and I fail to see that it is fully over. Pawns have been put in place for months and I feel it is a case of FFA having Tinkler at Check at present
Expect at some stage today Tinkler to approach some court and get some injunction out on the FFA and bring this to a legal battle dragging on in the courts for a lot longer
Yesterday was like Star Wars A New Hope
Today I see it as The Empire Strikes Back
Can't wait for The Return of the Griffo
