Morepork Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) The vast majority of fans. Accepted a foreign owner. Accepted his faith and traditions. Accepted his raising of ticket prices. Accepted his insistence on doing things his way. Accepted his mistakes......lots of them, and some of which will be remembered as his finest hour, Im talking cakeball..... I was desperate for DC to make a proper go of this, to get this club back to where it belongs. I think a lot of us felt the same, which is why we showed a level of patience he probably didn't deserve with hindsight. I feel like we gave DC every opportunity to make a success of running this club. Unfortunately he opted for gambling it all on a wing and a prayer. No doubt some will argue we also accepted his money, if only he'd mentioned the small fact that he was going to p!ss it all up the wall......... I long for the day when I can have pride in the way we run our football club. Personally, I can't stand being mugged off by this regime for a moment longer.

fatzooma Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I’m still bewildered by his putting the club up for sale statement.l, after he spat the dummy out last year..Did he ever retract that statement? What a strange clusterfuck of a club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a strange clusterfuck of a club. He was clear in that statement, it was never taken out of context as some say. That said, I believe it was a spur of the moment comment born of frustration.......wish it was true now though. We may well be up for sale, although it would come out eventually. I actually feel like he's keeping a low profile at the moment, partly out of embarrassment and partly so he doesn't get in to discussions with fans.

BRADDO Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 DCs tenure has been an unmitigated disaster. Many of us have given him time, patience and benefit of the doubt. For me, no more. I'm done with him and want him gone asap. Do one DC FFS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the point I wanted to emphasise is I believe we will reach a point where DC has the balls to point the finger elsewhere for our failings. "They never game me a chance", "They never accepted me", "They wouldn't spend their own money" etc etc. All bo!!ocks, I don't think normal fans could have done any more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your original post but not this, the sale statement was totally taken out of context, I was there and heard it first hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear we are stuck with him because history shows he wants top dollar for any sale. If he remains I'm convinced we'll be in league 1 sharpish.

No, he just didn't flatly say that the club was up for sale as the press led people to believe, the fact that no evidence has presented itself in over a year since he allegedly said backs up the fact that its nonsense.

Despite millions spent we have a worse team and performing far worse than under Stu Gray who kept us competitive despite having ten bob to spend. The club is regressing in all departments and due to DCs incompetence, we're heading for a points deduction and likely relegation. Bedwetters indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
