Morepork Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) I'm almost certain we operated with a Transfer Committee..... This also solves the mystery of what became of Lewis McGugan!!!! Edited August 8, 2018 by Morepork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 As someone who constantly questioned most of our signings over the last two years, I have to say, the buck stops with the chairman As for who identified the targets, we will probably never.know For me, there was a very obvious Scottish influence, but who that might have been, I’ve no idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quist Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 It was CC who was responsible for most and at one point he said remebered Celtic playing in Europe and enjoyed their style. We recruited players of similar ilk no variation it was clear to anybody that same person was selecting players. Terrible player recruitment has resulted in problems we have.

The Chairman who knew nothing about football had to rely on someone he put his faith in wrong people. It was obvious to many wrong strategy but our manager still had support from many on here and had obviously convinced DC he knew what he was doing. Having lost a small fortune and admiting this it is not easy to admit you were fooled by someone as well. Most worrying for me is he still has same advisor who has clearly not done great to date. If anything feel sorry for Chairman has been badly let down by those he has put his trust in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarn owl Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I have got so annoyed about how those transfers occured. But as it stands today we have moved on. New manager, new CEO and new approach. Of course mistakes were made but i think we are now trying to do things different so lets see where it leads. If Chansiri wants to try keep the gang together this year for 1 last push then fair enough. I don't think we will ever spend 8 million on a player again until we reach the PL. I am now looking forward to the games coming thick and fast so we can have other things to discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hasthagotanycheese Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 DC needs a proper football man at the side of him, somebody who knows the game inside out, what players true values are, good connections to UK, European & Worldwide scouting networks. Somebody who is prepared to say that a potential target is a waste of space, who is prepared to say we need to buy this unknown kid as he will be worth a fortune in a few years. Its so glaringly obvious that Chansiri lacks the nouse and football knowledge and is getting exploited at every turn, that until we get an old head in a Director of Football (or similar role) then we are going to continue in pretty much the same vein that we have done for the last couple of years.

thewookieisdown Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Transfer business has been hit and miss, not wholly miss. The two big misses were Abdi and Rhodes. I was always Rhodes sceptic but can understand why others weren't. Abdi has been a disaster but that wasn't obvious at the time. I can't for one moment believe that any of our managers, whether CC or JL, are responsible for identifying targets. I mean: we haven't been well run, but that would be so bizarre it's beyond belief even for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree but it will cost us to find one and it looks like we can't spend any money on recruitment so we are screwed......why Chansiri didn't think of this a long time ago , who knows?

Luke Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 This is why Carlos is the worst manager in our history ,his 2 and half seasons of $h1t signings and dogger tactics will cost this club millions and take years to recover. And to think some clueless fools clapped the clown when he returned with Swansea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody would do it for a relatively small amount, in another thread the other day it was mentioned that Howard Wilkinson would be ideal. While I think that Sgt Wilko would be on the wrong side of 70 for day in day out involvement he certainly would be an invaluable resource for DC to tap into on a day to day basis. Somebody with an affinity with the club who has been round the block, Brian Laws, Paul Sturrock, Gary Megson (yes him) all got years of collective experience within the game that Chansiri could bounce stuff off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
