F*ck knows what's going on, but seems Arab Trust have been bumped from the board due to some sort of issue with Mike Barile, who represents the AT. The Arab Trust have issued an extremely enlightening statement. Nothing to see there, then. |

lots of stuff about this doing the rounds. Hard to know if any truth in any of it other than United it seems have asked Arabtrust to replace Mike Barile as the trusts rep on the board |

Courier has the non-story story.
I can't be arsed scanning the other messageboards to see what Mr Barile's been posting under whichever anonymous pseudonyms he's using. If anyone can be arsed, feel free to repeat what they find here. |

Take your pick: Gibby Haggard is leeching money from United and is up to something. John Bennet is behind the unrest and wants to take control from ST. Some sort of misuse of funds by Barile. I dinnae ken a thing but it's bound to be ST's fault as I don't like the cut of his jib. United Mad is not an easy read. EF seem to be going on whatever was said on Mad. Nothing on it, or much else, round at Gollum's. ETA: Top Posters on Gollum's in the past 24 hours: Ascestjep, who started the intimidatingly named and as yet un-replied-to thread "гаражные ворота в коттедж" BBC Sport 1 post each. Oh Gollum, what have you done with your preciouss? Edited by whatsthatonyourback, Mar 18 2011, 05:46 PM.

It all sounds a bit cheap and dull. Not sure of Haggard's role, or much about any of it really. UtdMad seem to have people in the know though, even if what that is is hard to know. |

There seems to be talk of UFC2 being at the root of it too, whatever that is. The only UFC i've ever seen involved steroid taking nutters wearing spangly tights and fake tan. Could be interesting times at Tannadice if so.

As I say, I can't face trying to detect a signal among the noise on that site. So let's suppose, for the sake of argument, that there is a schism in the boardroom. Punting Barile achieves what exactly? He can, at most, be a supporter of whichever one's causing the disquiet. Punting him in this rather undignified way adds nothing other than a guarantee the details of the alleged schism become public knowledge. It doesn't make sense to me. ET surely knows that it's smarter to keep your enemies inside the tent. I'm therefore minded to assume, unless proven otherwise, that Barile was simply a pain in the arse. |

RThe plot, such as it is, thickens. Or densifies. Well, there's a statement.
Translation, anyone? This toytown committee stuff drives me up the f*cking tree. |

We're doing what United want. Hopefully they'll have us back. |

Still nothing? Still no more than uninformed gumflappery across the many sources available to us? Surely someone, somewhere, was at the ArabTrust meeting and able to talk about it first hand. Because, if not, then who on earth does Arabtrust represent? |

D'oh, I should really stop smoking crack on a school night, was mixing up the drug fuelled fighting championships there. Apologies. Back to the point, let's hope there was justification for Barile to be removed from being the representative on the board for the Arab Trust as otherwise it doesn't look good for the club to be deciding who is allowed to represent the fans. |
