The conversation over DS took over 20 minutes. And people are reacting to short sentences. One of the group took full notes and will be publishing the items discussed but in more detail. But as said previously it wasn't a warts and all meeting. For reasons given. The advisers recommended that statement be put out. But in hindsight DM said it damaged the relationship with the fans which was regretful to say the least. It was put to him that they should have taken the media teams advise. But I got the impression the advisers overruled. A more in depth report will be forthcoming re the expenditure. But 95% of revenue has gone back into the club at this time and reasons given. Updates will appear in the full report.
See my post above. 11,000 season ticket holders (plus double that who aren't) got 21 words. 20 pals got 20 minutes
Sold 3 players to get 12. 2 of those wanted to go, and 3rd we couldn’t compete in wage demands, despite offering more. Yup, totally the club’s fault Selling in January? Thiam and Pinnillos are two top earners who are nowhere near the squad and both out of contract in Summer - no qualms with either going and makes sense for all parties. The ‘sticking point’ test will be Cavare, who’s out of contract in the Summer, but is currently first choice wingback...... Anyway, I will now apologise for typing sensible and probably accurate comments of what happened/will happen. In other news, Woodrow, Dougall, Mowatt and Chaplin will all be cashed in on in January, with Collins, Radlinger and Cavare loaned out to L2 clubs. The club will bow to fan pressure and bring in Peter Crouch and Micheal Owen to give the desired experience everyone craves.
Is this a rumour? I don't see why they couldn't explain that in the first place if it was the case, maybe Chef Tyke might state otherwise.
I want to ditch sky and get virgin. I've got a two year contract with sky so sadly they told me to go **** myself when I asked to leave
As I said supertyke. The short comments do not tell the whole story. But you chose to slag off with such little information. You personally will never be satisfied on any explanation. For that I have no doubt. But that is your perogative.
And I will say again why wait 30 days to give 20 people a 20 minute explanation yet afford the other 11,000 just 21 words. Give us all a sensible answer to that and perhaps then I'll listen to the second hand explanation Ps who is to blame for me only knowing short comments that dont tell the whole story? I'll give you a clue it starts with our and ends with owners
To be fair to us, the tweets coming out of tonight didn't infer there was a longer explanation to follow. We can only go by what little we've been told. When a fan favourite gets sacked with a brief statement the fans are naturally going to speculate. To believe otherwise is daft.
Which is what I was trying to say Titus. I would rather have not commented at all to allow the more detailed report to come out.
