Dundee bankruptcy leaves Buaben with uncertain future

Ghanaian midfielder Prince Buaben faces uncertain club future in after his Scottish side Dundee was officially declared bankrupt on Thursday.

Dunde was put into administration after failing to pay a 365,000 pounds (583,525 dollars) tax bill.

With the club now officially bankrupt Buaben could face delay in the payment of his wages and could eventually leave the club altogether.

PFA Scotland chief executive Fraser Wishart visited Dens Park on Thursday to talk the players through the administration process and there is serious doubt over the future of manager Gordon Chisholm and his assistant Billy Dodds.

Wishart said: “Nobody knows what the decision is going to be in terms of who is staying and who is going. That is purely down to the administrator and the club.

“I think the players have been resigned to some sort of cuts being made at the club and they will find out more on Friday.”

Even though there is uncertainty surrounding his future, Buaben’s performance could attract clubs in Scotland and England as he has been in good form for the club.

It was revealed last week that Dundee had no option but to accept administration after being unable to negotiate the payment and the process was finally confirmed on Thursday.

A statement on the club’s official website read: “Dundee FC are now officially in administration. Papers were lodged at the Court of Session in Edinburgh today. Bryan Jackson of PKF will now assume control of the club.”

Dundee had been waiting for director and main financial backer Calum Melville to deposit 200,000 pounds in a bank account to allow the club to function through the period of administration.

It is the second time in seven years that the former European Cup semi-finalists have been placed in administration.
