JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 He's surviving based purely on the leniency of our owner as opposed to anything performance related. Things have been better in the last week or so, but long term I remain totally unconvinced that he is the right man to take DCFC forward. sage, Wsm-ram, taffyram and 8 others 2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irobinson Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Compo at £2m - Clowes doesn't have really any choice or we blow the business plan He invested in stability for long term - and Warne was his choice Afraid we are stuck with him Many a chairman would have pulled the trigger by now. I was shaking my head again today Im afraid all we have to do is get behind him and the team and hope it gets better Embargo soon will be behind us. Tough gig for Ram fans but. - better days are ahead hopefully taffyram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jram Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 They thoroughly outclassed Crewe today. They’re not quite creating the number of clear cut chances required to win consistently but I think that will come. Up the Rams.

Redundancy cost/restructuring costs are usually off balance sheet costs (in the usual business world) and therefore are not reported as operating cost but as exceptional items. As long as DCFC can manage the cost of the redundancy it should not affect the general operating position. So theoretically we can afford to remove Warne and any other staff required to be removed.

Is that the same as how Mel's amortisation methods were/are used and accepted "in the usual business world", so it was never ever likely to be a problem with The EFL?

The only reason Warne is here in the first place is because Clowes wanted the instant promotion that a 'League One promotion expert' could bring...otherwise Rosenior would have got the gig. With regard to a Warne payout, my hunch is that the club would rather he walk in face of fan protests. Its cheaper but it will mean letting the current situation play out. I'd be surprised if Clowes in private didnt have buyer remorse with Warne (even if the club mood noise is different) Edited November 5, 2023 by LeedsCityRam i-Ram, taffyram, Miggins and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is a constructive use of money, the other is a destructive use of money that could be reduced substantially if the situation is managed. I dont believe you can assume transfer spending in division above from how much time he allows a manager or how much he is willing to pay to get rid of him. Insinuating Clowes is happy with us staying at this level makes no sense...firstly, he's a fan and won't want us playing third tier football any longer than you or I & secondly, the TV money in Championship makes promotion much more attractive.

On the subject of disagreement… 😂 Jokes aside, I genuinely think watching derby play Crewe today was like watching Man City play Luton in the Prem. Utter dominance in possession and some nice passing. Most difficult thing at this level is understandably putting it in the net because if you can do that even remotely effectively, you wouldn’t be playin in League 1 DerbyAleMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S8TY Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 today was still better than some of the recent away performances, we dominated but our finishing was woeful on top of some poor decision making in the final third , also Fozzy and a few others had off games but still better than the dross we've been watching. I've been critical of Warne recently but we could easily have scored 3-4 more today and we kept the ball better than recently what we were guilty of today was too many crosses when we maybe could've worked in into feet but it seems like we are trying to keep the ball more now so lets give it a chance Max was excellent against Northampton but I thought Bird,Smith and Fozzy were very average today and Hourihane at times wasteful but generally speaking keep trying to play football is ok with me and will bring better results Also a note on Bradley, I hope his substitution doesn't mean he's dropped because I genuinely think he's made a difference in last two games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jourdan Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 We potentially have nine games in three competitions before Christmas, and as many as seven of those games will be at home! The significance of that last minute equaliser could be huge for Warne and taking the pressure off. Given that our home and away form is starting to trend in different directions, there might not be a better opportunity for him and the players to click, find form and confidence, and turn the tide. The way things have gone v Cheltenham, Shrewsbury, Stevenage and Crewe will make every away game coming up feel like a potential trip hazard and so it might be good for us to have a run of games at home and get some wins under our belt.
