Anel

Odd to wish for a Yes man in corporate garb.
Done not want someone to fight for the club as opposed to the owners?

DoF and board. Feck the fans. Franchise here we come

DoF is an ok concept until something goes wrong.

Then it gets extremely messy.

At the moment you have accountability.

If I’m the Manager and some other guy brings in the wrong players then how does it not all end up on me when the other guy is the one who screwed up?

Off topic but you would think The Lawyer would use a real shirt and not a counterfeit…

Maybe they're as pessimistic about possible signings as we are.

Maybe they're as pessimistic about possible signings as we are.

Or they’re not as worried as we are

Exactly that is what happened at Huddersfield during their second season in the PL

Just seen a tweet from Southampton side they will have to pay between 10/12 million for him but we can get for 4

Effectively the same though as we would have to write off the rest (it would have been monies we had accounted for coming in over next 2 seasons).
I am not sure we could afford to do that - unless we sell someone else.
In a perfect world we would offload Ukaki, Shackleton, Gbric, Cannon to make up some of the shortfall but I can't see that happening.
As Wilder alluded to, could be like the Wild West on the last 2 days for the transfer window.

Because we have wasted £500 million since 2019/20 season of Prem Money and parachute payments due to appalling transfer policy and no major investment in our infrastructure. So we are left with very little. We are a test case of how not to approach promotion to the Premier League for any aspiring club.

The DoF debate reminds me of Ron Atkinson.

His famous comment was:

“Everyone says: 'Look at Italy, they don't drink much, they're all eating pasta'. But there are plenty of crap teams in Italy who do that."

Same with DoF; seen as a solution when things are challenging but Spurs had a DoF the other year, so did Huddersfield as you mentioned etc.

The key is to get good people. You can call them what you like.

Nick Di Marco reminds me of a gambler.

You only ever hear from them when they win.
