DUNDEE UNITED ON THIS DAY JANUARY 11 Dundee United On This Day THURSDAY 1st JANUARY 2015 A great start to 2015 as United thump Dundee in the new year derby at Tannadice, in front of 13,000 fans. Stuart Armstrong deflects a Chris Erskine shot into the Dundee net in the first minute, and an Erskine strike and a Gary Mackay-Steven double make it 4-1 by half-time. Jaroslaw Fojut and Charlie Telfer add two more in the second half, and the 6-2 final score puts United third in the Premiership, just three points behind Aberdeen and two behind Celtic. WEDNESDAY 1st JANUARY 1913 Dumbarton are the new year’s day visitors at Tannadice, but, although a railway special brings 300 fans through from the west coast, The Dundee Evening Telegraph reports that very few of them make it to the game, presumably as a side effect of their new year celebrations. The Dumbarton players, on the other hand, show no sign of any hangover as they start brightly in a match full of chances, but Dundee Hibernian – as the club were called before changing their name to United – come back from 3-1 down to draw 3-3. THURSDAY 2nd JANUARY 1958 United beat East Stirling 7-0. Jimmy Brown and Wilson Humphries both grab doubles, and Allan Garvie, Willie McDonald and Joe Roy score once each. Twenty-year-old Aberdonian defender Ron Yeats makes his debut in the match. He features prominently for United for four seasons, before, in 1961, he’s sold for £30,000 to Liverpool, where he becomes hugely influential and plays over 450 games. -
Reframing Scottish Football: Strategy and the Short-Term Nature of the Football Industry
Edinburgh Napier University Business School Reframing Scottish Football: Strategy and the short-term nature of the football industry Stephen Robertson Doctor of Business Administration A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Edinburgh Napier University, for the award of Doctor of Business Administration July 2015 “In human behavior there was always uncertainty and risk. The goal of the Oakland front office was simply to minimize the risk. Their solution wasn’t perfect, it was just better than the hoary alternative, rendering decisions by gut feeling.” Lewis (2011 p.136) Abstract Despite football being deeply entrenched in Scottish culture it is under- researched from a business perspective. This research develops a conceptual framework that views professional football clubs from a number of different perspectives. It draws on strategic management literature since this views the firm as the intersection between internal competence, customer perception and competition within an industry. A review of previous sports business research highlighted five main themes that were used to create a structure for the analysis: on-field performance, attendance, finance, the playing squad and the manager. These themes were used as frames to view the firms within the industry from a number of different perspectives. Each frame allows a different aspect of the firm to be considered singly in turn and then collectively to develop a deeper understanding of the existing frames in use within the industry. The research is based on a pragmatic philosophy that allows mixed methods to be combined to provide both an objective and subjective view of the industry. The subjective view was drawn from five interviews with senior figures within Scottish professional football. -
A Warm Welcome from Our Chairman
A warm welcome from our Chairman... Firstly may I thank you for your interest and indeed your valued support to Dundee United Football Club. For well over a century our Football Club has stood proud in the City of Discovery and in that time has enjoyed renowned success both at home and overseas. Our Club is regarded as a major institution to the many thousands of fellow supporters that follow the team. To us all, United is much more than just a Football Club, it’s tradition, it’s a way of life, its about being a part of a large extended family, and, like all families, we enjoy good times together and sometimes we experience bad, but it’s the comforting feeling of belonging, identity and affinity we collectively share that keeps us coming back for more each and every season. I am honoured to be writing this welcome to you as Chairman of Dundee United and I am extremely proud to have the responsibility of overseeing the Club as we move into this exciting new period ahead. Dundee United throughout the first 109 years have always been highly regarded for setting exceptional standards, key core values and above all professionalism, and it’s these key objectives that every individual at the Club strives to maintain but more importantly always look to develop further. It’s a large part of what makes up our Club’s DNA – “It’s the Dundee United way”. Dundee, as one of our major Scottish cities, has a strong global reputation and with the arrival of the V & A adding to the many established and successful industries here, that reputation is strengthening and growing at a considerable rate. -

An introduction by David Glen David Glen Welcome to the 19th annual financial review of the Scottish football premier league, covering the season 2006/07. Steady as she goes For the majority of the SPL clubs, financially season 2006/07 has been a stable one. For the first time in over 10 years the clubs have collectively generated a profit of £3m, a figure that was particularly assisted by some very successful trading in the transfer market with a record net gain of £19m being recorded. Celtic and Hibs led the way, recording gains of £9.4m and £6.4m respectively from the sales of the likes of Stilian Petrov, Shaun Maloney, Kevin Thomson and Scott Brown. The most profitable club was Celtic, who recorded a surplus of over £15m, boosted by the financial rewards of a very successful run to the last 16 in the Champions league. At the other end of the scale, Hearts posted the largest loss of just under £13m. A wage bill of almost £12.5m, with an income of only £10.3m is clearly not sustainable and will require some trimming going forward.
