ram1964 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 However you look at it. It's unethical totally unprofessional irrespective of the take over. Can't imagine this will help attract any new signings or loane s come January. Irrespective of the buyout being legit or not, it appears to have been dealt with at best inffiencently and with irresponsibility. Either Mel can't be arsed with the day to day running of the club or new owners are too tight arsed to ensure staff are paid on time. Either way a bloody shambles and doesn't bode well for new owners splashing any cash. Shame on you DCFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t surprise me if that is the case to be fair but I bet currently, month in, month out it’s a real issue managing cash flow. Better for club to write to the players than let it come out in the press that we hadn’t. Still slightly worrying - I mean why only now have the new owners only deposited cash with the lawyers for instance. It’s not necessarily a case of the club (under Mel) being cash strapped. It looks like the transaction hasn’t completed yet when it was supposed to have. Mel would be expecting the other party to have completed and paid the wages if they fell after the takeover. Mel will not pay the wages if he expects the other party to! This could be an admin problem, it’s a bad time of year for transactions of this magnitude. However as others have said this doesn't look good from a PR perspective! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I'm sure this will be resolved very quickly but it's all a bit daft and unprofessional. Makes us look rubbish and from that perspective it is concerning. I think though, we as a fan base, have a responsibility to not make this a big deal. We have to avoid "being the story" as best as we can because every time we end up in the news, it derails us on the pitch. We're doing so well on the pitch in our last few games, I don't want this to be a distraction. I'm sure the players themselves as the ones who will be paid late have their own concerns about this, but we need to move quickly onwards and focus on the football. I know the ramifications here, and what it might imply about the new owners, but Sheff Weds tomorrow could be a huge game and the last thing we need is for this story to get in the way.

You don’t think that as soon as the players didn’t get paid that at least one of them would be straight on the phone to their agent who in turn would be straight on the phone to the press??

Either way a bloody shambles and doesn't bode well for new owners splashing any cash. Shame on you DCFC. Agree 100%. To let this happen now when we've just turned the corner on the pitch is a complete dereliction of duty by the current ownership structure. Could easily damage morale to the extent that it affects results, which increases the risk that whoever owns the club owns a League One club for the 21/22 season. Whatever last minute logistical issues have arisen (and personally I'll only be convinced it's happening when it's a done deal), arrangements should have been in place to ensure the players got paid regardless. A bridging loan for example. Given the history of this takeover so far, further hitches shouldn't have come as a surprise to anyone. Until the deal goes through it's Morris's club and therefore Morris's responsibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 32 minutes ago, ImARam2 said: The Sheikh is from Abu Dhabi, not Dubai. Although Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al-Quwain, Fujairah & Ras Al-Khamaih (7 federal states) all make up the country known as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), they are all have their own federal councils, controlled by different Sheikh's and families. Therefore, the Abu Dhabi Sheikh (new owner of DCFC) will not have any association with Dubai from a governmental or financial matter. Having lived and worked for 15 years in the UAE (6 years Abu Dhabi & 9 years Dubai), I can assure you there are many differences when dealing with contracts with the different states. I didn’t say he was from Dubai did I? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
