I didn't get to sit down in a room and interview them, it wasn't my vision for the club that drove me to then appointments. How many did I agree with, probably Lampard and Pearson I'd say. Both PCs didn't have a clue about until they were linked with the club, SM 2 no, WR yes, GR no way, have I missed any ? My post was slightly tongue in cheek, in that picking or kicking the ball as was stated in the post is not the sole factor or failure or success in a football club. Any appointment is a gamble in a club, the timing of the sackings though not so much, the change in direction from one manager to another again a big factor for me. Other things as well, it just looks like to me Mel was just so desperate to get to the PL, he made several bad calls that has accumulated where we are now.

This was just an example of such things. I thought it looked like someone's school project to be honest, picked up by someone and circulated by fools believing it to be real.

True Id have expected the initial rental to support the 80m valuation, also for MSD to require the rental to cover their repayments. The lease could also have been amended in 2020 when MSD lent Don’t suppose we’ll know before the accounts are filed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Blatantly obvious that players are improving under Wayne. What could he have done with some that we shipped out. Wayne said how much Wiz has improved. It helps when players know exactly what is expected of them. Only Lawrence and Davies on our books could improve the starting eleven in my opinion.

Honestly the hypocrisy of some of our fans who think because we haven’t invested millions in the club then we can’t have a view. Probably the same fans that used to ring the talk in asking for Keogh to be played in centre midfield, absolutely brainless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone please tell me what has MM done wrong? To my understanding (please correct me if I am wrong), when Mr Morris took over at DCFC, the club owned it's own ground (and primary asset). I believe this is no longer the case. That's probably a very big disappointment to a lot of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alternative was to get our wage bill sufficiently so that we can comply with P&S. It appears that has been our strategy this season but, from what I can tell, the fans dont seem too happy with it and think we should now go out and buy some new players to put on the wage bill. Seems a lot want to have their cake and eat it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was saying that tongue in cheek as a far more esteemed poster than myself replied with this answer yesterday when I raised the same point regards other clubs also doing the same. I understand why the ground had to be sold I don't agree with how we managed to have to get into that scenario in the first place but will limit my reponse for the sake of harmony on here.

No one would buy one without the other I think the unease about this transaction was two fold, firstly why were we compelled to do this in the first place and secondly the ground now is owned by a totally separate entity than the club - not sure why you think one could be sold without the other as it wouldn't be totally inconceivable that the stadium owner could charge ground rent etc to the new club owners as a form of lease.
