Dundee United today announced that Director Scott Carnegie would be standing down from the Board, with immediate effect, to concentrate on other business interests.
Mr Carnegie said, "I came into Tannadice some five years ago with the key goals of returning stability to Dundee United and to open the door for Eddie Thompson and others to invest in the Club. Having seen Eddie take over, I was then invited by him to stay on, which has been a great honour and a privilege.
Eddie's leadership has brought stability to the Club and his personal investment has provided the Club with a sound financial platform for the future. Because of this, the outlook is extremely positive for the years ahead and it is now time for me to step down and concentrate on my own business interests.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here at Tannadice, and I would not hesitate to help Dundee United again in the future, if ever the need arose.
I thank all my friends and colleagues with whom it has been a pleasure to work, and I wish the Club every success in the future."
Mr Thompson thanked Scott for his contribution over the last 5 years, and wished him well for the future.
