And he didn't sell us to absolutely anyone , esp. that bloke from Azerbaijan Most owners would take what they could get and cut and run. He didn't . DC has his issues but it very well could have been much, much worse. He agreed a sale with our friend from Azerbaijan - even pre-empted this with the offer of shirt sponsorship that never came to owt - how embarrassing is that; championship shirt sponsorship for nothing - makes DC look like shrewd businessman. Most foreign owners have their faults - DC is no exception. His main faults is extreme naivety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the knight with ever decreasing arms and legs in MP's Holy Grail. Hope his money tree keeps flowering every Spring though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tudders Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 You know what, we’ve lost points in the last 10-15 mins of so many games recently. Add those points, even half of those points and we’d be in the play off places and the whole feel amongst the club and fanbase would be totally different. There wouldn’t be people criticising DC. It’s not DC’s fault that we’ve not seen games out recently. We’ve come so close to grinding the points out in games that previously we would have already lost by the hour mark. We are getting better, we are now close but not quite close enough. The margins are so fine. I genuinely believe Monk is the right man for the job and I think DC appointed well.

They slipped into the club a little too easily for my liking, and the timing smelled bad. All just speculation and in no way portrayed as fact. Thought it was common knowledge that Doyen came from a MM recommendation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisf Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Speaking of chairmen. Remember Lee Strafford? Tried to do a big PR spin on the club in the hope of selling it on for profit. Seems like a lifetime ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
