bigrbuk Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Perhaps he's taken a folder full of CV's with him to read, and maybe he understands how the internet and phone technology works and can "work" while he's away. I did it yesterday on a day off with my lad. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear DC has neither and is seemingly unwilling to get a decent number 2/3 etc. to manage affairs whilst he's absent. I've resigned myself to the fact we are going to be in that middle lane of football clubs for the foreseeable. Not well run, but not run as badly as the likes of Bolton and Bury etc. In this era of rogue owners I think we have to be content with the fact that DC will at least financially support us and engage with supporters.

Which probably explains why so many people behind the scenes have come and gone whilst DC has been here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 You are all presuming he’s on holiday. Maybe the man he’s after is on holiday and rather than waiting for him to get back DC has flown out to tie up the deal. That would actmake more sense knowing what we do of DCs working arrangements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlZfan84 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Maybe an agreement has already been reached with a new manager, and DC is celebrating with a trip to Alcatraz. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do we know he’s on holiday , more than likely it’s business , so what if he’s took his son I’m sure in the next couple of days it will all unfold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai_Owl Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Can’t believe some of these people have never heard of Skype/FaceTime, living out in Thailand a lot of interviews are done by video calls etc...... DC location as long as he has an internet connection won’t effect his ability to do business..... some people need to get a grip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name a football club that has recruited, appointed, and announced a manager via video call whilst the owner is away on holiday. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times meeting take place in London, not a specific area of the country. The point is DC doesn’t have to be in sheffield for business to keep ticking. yes like all id like a manager yesterday, but to say his travels are stopping an appointment is comical Edited July 25, 2019 by Thai_Owl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I think by now we should have decided upon who we want to appoint. We knew Steve Bruce wanted to leave 2 weeks ago today, from that moment we should have been sorting out a replacement and by this point should be close to an appointment. No problem he’s on holiday, but no matter where he is in the world, the process should have moved a lot faster than it is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he was tapped up nearly a month ago..maybe even earlier. By not appointing a manager already doesn't mean we are not trying. Especially when the good ones say no thanks.. Unless you would prefer DC said oh foook it, set one on from the list..first un to turn up gets it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
