    There's no substitute for experience....
    1. He can teach the young pups new tricks  , Anyone old enough on here to remember a certain Mr D Mackay ?
    2. His experience will help us see games through to the end without headless chicken defending (see point 1 )
    Yes he is getting on but I would love him in to teach the youngsters and give us a bit of steel.

    To be honest mate, you’ve been put in an impossible position. I don’t know the reasons behind it but it just seems like you’ve been hung out to dry. I hope you’re ok, simple as that.

    It will be interesting if they call the game off because Huddersfield have a Coronavirus outbreak. When the same courtesy was not afforded to us against Chorley and they have done absolutely nothing to cooperate with us over transfers.

    I think the meeting has been called partly to try and fulfil DCFC's 'obligations' to listen to their fans and engage with them and address the concerns felt by loyal fans who only want what is best for the club and to reassure the fans that their voices have been heard and listened to and to make them feel part of the 'ownership' of the club and therefore more confident and reassured about how the club is being managed and moving forward. This kind of approach is common in every kind of business (including schools) and it's a very good approach as long as it's not just a public exercise to placate people and make them feel involved without actually listening and reacting to their genuine concerns and suggestions. We had to do this as a school to ascertain parents' opinions about any perceived strengths and weaknesses but then we always had to draw up an action plan which we were held to scrupulously by the Governers and OFSTED.
    I'm not very savvy on these matters but I doubt that the club will share any sensitive information at this meeting. I think they will be very careful not to leak sensitive information which could affect the club going forward and rightly so. Some information will be given freely, some less confidential information will be subject to NDA and some will will not be disclosed at all where there is a risk of damaging takeovers etc.  
    Just read the above and it sounds cynical but that was never my intention. This is the way that organisations work and I just hope that our representatives are not only listened to but that the club begins to act on their and our concerns as soon as possible wherever they can. I am optimistic that this is not just a PR exercise.
    Good luck, David for tonight. Look forward to reading your feedback and thanks.

    No but In our dire situation ie: not a single recognised centre half to our name… it’s the equivalent of signing varane

    If indeed that proves to be the case , ths EFL should instruct them to pick up their toys, get back in the pram and go seek shelter back under their respective rocks.

    The signings of Bielik and Jozwiak are exactly the right sort we should be looking at in the future. They are exactly the right profile, young, good potential, right attitude to improve, high resale value, internationals. This is what we should have been doing 6 years ago.

    I know a few on here have a blinkered view of Rooney. Some didn't want him here in the first place, some didn't want him as manager which is fair enough, we're all not going to like/want the same players managers. 
    This is only my opinion.
    When Rooney first took over fully we were playing better stuff than under Cocu and we pulled away from the relegation zone.
    Then we were hit with injuries to key players which basically ripped the spine out of our team.
    Then CKR started carrying an injury but had to play still and we could see he wasn't 100% but we had nothing else.
    The results/confidence started to decline and the squad we had after the injuries, any manager would struggle with. Our bench was full of kids.
    In my opinion we can't berate Rooney for his final 15 matches when McLaren had the same problem in the season we failed to reach the playoffs, with a far superior squad and everyone was blaming the injuries to our key players in the run in. You can't have it both ways.
    If Mac was manager last season he'd have had far far more slack from certain posters than Rooney has had.
    Luckily this forum is a tiny percentage of our fan base and those who just don't like Rooney is even less.
    I'm not happy with how thing went last season, not by a long shot, but i'm a realist and I could see what shape the club is in.
    To put ALL the blame on Rooney is ridiculous imo.
    He now has a good pre season to install his playing style on the squad. He also needs to get his players in.
    THEN, if after all this we are still close to relegation, i believe he'll walk.
