As relegation beckons for Dundee United, this report looks at the financial challenges faced by the club. The club’s external debt is now down to £1.25m.   However, that is secured against the stadium.  Although fans have expressed fears about going into administration, this seems unlikely, as the club’s home would be at risk.
