Ins And Outs!

Surprised to see nobody moaning about the attitude of Huws, when it has been confirmed that’s exactly what he had. We’d rather moan about a players attitude when there’s no basis for it only the only evidence being not selected by bad managers.

I didn’t know about this until a Hudds supporter just grabbed me at work and I can’t help thinking we’ve got the best part of the deal and hopefully there’ll be a saving on wages.

I certainly don’t want Huws here with that attitude and I don’t want him back, fair play to Caldwell for coming out and stating the facts rather than everyone at each others throats, over what on paper could have looked a poor swap.

As for McKay, I said at the time we shouldn’t be letting MM purchase players, we let him, he didn’t play Billy and now we’re shipping him off a profit I believe, which is good business as I always thought when I did see him he was slower than me.

We haven’t seen Caldwell comment on many of the departures, so it seems like he knew he would have to justify this one.
I don’t know if we are hearing the full story. Wales are very likely to qualify for Euro 2016 and Huws must have one eye on being part of the squad. Playing a full season in the Championship would give him a better chance than a season in League 1.

Evening Telegraph

Dundee United have finally got their man landing Wigan’s Billy McKay.

The 26-year-old will join the Tannadice side on a season-long loan….

first a fee now a loan sounds like they couldn’t afford both the transfer and wages

The courier

Billy McKay is on the verge of becoming a Dundee United player after agreeing a season-long loan switch.

A complicated process between United, Wigan Athletic and the player’s representative is nearing a conclusion.

United agreed a £200,000 transfer fee for the former Inverness Caledonian Thistle man earlier this week, as well as terms with the Northern Ireland international.

But the move stalled after McKay couldn’t agree a severance package with the Latics.

In order to secure Jackie McNamara’s number one target, United have settled on the loan switch.

Should the move prove to be a successful one, it could of course become a permanent transfer.

It now remains to be seen whether the paperwork can be concluded in time to allow McKay to play against Ross County tomorrow.

I’ll keep updating unti the deadline has passed then I think we can all sit back and get ready for the promotion push??

Wish whelan and his family where on that out list disgraceful what is happening at our once proud club :angry:

But when we rose through the leagues and stayed in the greed league eight years and won that cup thingy would that have been disgracefull. After all that did happen to our club too.’

I totally agree with those sentiments, however, I don’t think that we are eating humble pie. We are were we are through circumstance, a little distasteful I agree, but here we are. We have been here before and those ‘proud’ followers of the club who were there then are still with us along with quite a few recent followers and we will play our way back to the top, however long that takes. Remember that mightier clubs than us have been in this situation before and, through grit and determination (oh and a bit of financial backing) have returned to the higher levels.

I don’t subscribe to this fallacy being bandied around that we have fallen to our natural level. Over the eight years we were in the Premiership, and the preceding 3/4 years, we built our club up to something that should grace higher championship or the premier league once more – that is our level and that is where, I believe, we will return.
