TrueLou Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 @truelou: You and I appear to be kindred spirits. Are you prepared to be chained up with me for 24 hours by some way of freedom of speech protest? Hahaha! Never miss a trick. Not sure about the chaining but I'm happy to hold up a placard ?

Tombo Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I was going to include you in on the bondage, I mean chaining protest, but if I included you then we would have Tombo wailing away about how he wants to be involved too. And I know he would want to wear a beret too. I've been a student for 8 months now, I'm no stranger to chaining protests. I'm booked up for protests all week I'm afraid but Tuesday I've only got a minor leaflet campaign so I'll join you then. Can't promise it'll last though, I'm on a hunger strike protesting student union cuts so I'm quite weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only human, understood, but I pointed it out, got 3 likes in way of agreement if you're asking, but then I got told to get a grip and was met with all sorts of rubbish about 'I've been posting 10 years' etc...There are more official routes I could have taken to take issue with the post, but I accept that mistake. All I asked for is for Alpha to do the same, but he couldn't and started to slag me off.The whole thing was childish, and despite what people think I don't come here to argue with people. No reason to purge the whole thing though in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammie Steve Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Hahaha! Never miss a trick. Not sure about the chaining but I'm happy to hold up a placard ? I could perhaps write a letter to the Times. Yours etc. Disgusted, Tunbridge Wells. That'd put the cat amongst the pigeons for certain sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Back on topic......Andy Appleby has been one of the best Chairmen DCFC has ever had, in my humble opinion.He's appointed people to run the club on a day to day basis and left them to it. Not once has he made silly press statements, he's kept in the background, he's been the perfect opposite of big ego chairmen like Ashley and Oyston.I hope Mel Morris works the same way. A good chairman should be seen and not heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good chairman should be seen and not heard.He said in the press conference he's a 'non-executive chairman' which essentially means just that. Sam Rush is his deputy for day to day football decisions, he's the boardroom and business organiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueLou Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Seen and not heard for sure. A chairman who supports financially and from a business perspective without dancing around in front of the cameras every other week is my favourite kind.There's at least one that springs to mind that I thank the gods everyday for the fact that he runs the club down the road and not us. He's like that annoying relative at every family do that you try to avoid (Uncle Ray doing A-Ga-Doo). You smile and humour them when they seem to be having so much fun, while secretly hoping you're adopted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammieib Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Anyone else beginning to worry a little with the media stuff coming out that Mel Morris wants to be the man in charge of stuff that we should leave the head coach and chris Evans to. With the Giles Barnes story coming out, the car obnoxiously parked, the press conference etc, I'm concerned that Mel Morris may make this all about him now. I really hope not, but have to respect that Andy Appleby just left Sam Rush to leave the show. I hope Sam has a good working relationship with Mel in place and will let Sam get on both things.

rammieib Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 No irons without fire.press conference I didn't like the reference that he would be working one week, then not the next week, and back in again etc. I personally think looking outside in it can put Sam Rush into a position where he doesn't know what decisions he makes and what decisions he has to get approval on. Anyone on a salary he is reported to be on should be making ALL the decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and Ive never seen Rush's salary reported either, did you mean rumoured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone on a salary he is reported to be on should be making ALL the decisions. The point he was making was that there is no need to be in all the time. The CEO - Sam Rush is responsible for the day to day managing of the company. He will have taken his parameters / targets / agreed expectations from the board. Why would the company pay a large salary to a CEO if they do not trust him to make decisions, even when he has already proved himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Maybe I'm wrong. I'm probably wrong. But I can't shake the feeling that Clement isn't having much to do with incoming players. Not saying it's Mel Morris. Just saying I don't think it's Clement.Bent and Pearce were/are almost wrapped up while he's still in Spain. Just how much of these two has he had time to see? And how does he know he wants them when he's not got to know our squad. For example will he want Pearce when he sees the current CB's. That sort of thingThen there's the 'if true' players. Jazz Richards? Weimann? Barnes!!!!? Clement has been busy to assess this Derby squad and identify these obscure (to a busy Real Madrid coach) players. I'm not calling the FBI. Just a niggling thought that I don't like. Anyone else concerned or am I being miserable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
