Time will tell….can’t wait for August and the new footie season 😉

Bolton have been decent all season….one bad game doesn’t change that.

Some decent messages from Korey and Waggy. They did their bit, so appreciate them both.👍

Depends on your Purchasing strategy doesn't it.
DCFC now would be a lot more expensive than DCFC two years ago. Clowes has shown that under good leadership, a high can become low risk very quickly.
But don't forget - as a business, we still lose money.... As do most Football Clubs.

This game is all about opinions isn't it? I thought Allsop was exceptional for us. I like Wildsmith, but Allsop seemed much more reliable. Both good keepers. But I also think Wildsmith is a little too small to be a top-level keeper. 

Now I do think we need to improve on Korey for this season, but an attitude problem?! What a load of s****. 

Contact knows nothing, or doesn't even exist, as according to him we're offering a contract to another team's under contract player 😂

There will be certain teams (Leeds, Wednesday) where I will simply refuse to to go them.
If a ticket is £36, plus £2 postage and £1 booking fee - £39 is ridiculous.
I'll simply go on holiday to watch it (If that option still exists next year) or as it seems many more games will be on tele, watch that way.

I should hope he has impressed you seeing as they signed him for 15mill, rising to 19mill from man city after staring in the England under 21 side in the summer.
Think a new contract for wildsmith might be a bit more in our reach 

Hopefully Leeds, if they don’t go up will carry on with their reciprocal arrangement and we agree to it.
If that had been the case the season just concluded we would have charged them £24.

I didn't want to start a new thread but we lost another special fan last night. For those who know of Colin Attenborough, or remember a few months ago a message Paul Warne did for him (link below), he passed away peacefully in his sleep last night. I knew Colin by playing Poker with him - a great guy - passionate about the team - and I'm happy he was able to be with us until the promotion was secured. 
RIP Colin.

Otis Gibson and Yorkshire fans sulking we didn't set up some kind of chase is quite amusing.

A think a few things to think about here. 
1. I’d take those estimates there with a pinch of salt. That estimate puts Blackburn players on less than £6k a week on average. (25 players) Not having it. 
2. Our wage bill has been widely reported but that figure, someone correct me if I’m wrong, is the entire clubs wage bill. Not just playing staff. There is no way our average players wage is £13.5k a week. 

 

Clowes Developments makes in the region of £20m profit a year looking at their accounts. It’s an extremely well run business.
That company is pumping £5m a season roughly so far into the club to break it even. They have the money to do this whilst we operate on that structure. The Championship increases our revenues by circa £10m but so also brings a huge increases in costs. 
 
DC (through his company) buying the club is 100% a sentiment thing to stop us going under. There is no way in any business sense he buys us as a business to make money. I honestly don’t think people truly understand just how much he has saved us.
My curiosity is that when you ‘look for an investor’ - what does that look like? Clowes Developments sells 49% stake in DCFC (not the stadium) for X amount to an investor and in return the investor agrees to invest an additional sum of money into the club, possibly spread over a certain time frame?
Again, I don’t see anyone doing this to make money - more they see DC as someone they can work with and trust. My issue with joint ownership models is how well they work out when conflict occurs.

As an investor no, but for Clowes the stadium is the only bit which fits in their companies portfolio and is a different legal entity.
