Emilianenko Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 12 hours ago, Orlando_Trustful said: I have been on here many years but never been ITK with stuff. However, today is the day after nearly a decade on Owlstalk that I join the highly esteemed likes of The Bizzle, Big Guns, Penguin and John Bloodaxe in being truly ITK. One of my friends (not an Owl) works at another Championship club and a guy who he knows from university currently works for us (I won't say the role but it is with the first team and U23). They met last week and got talking about Wednesday as he knows my family are all supporters and season ticket holders. This is what he passed on to me, some of it is very obvious stuff we can all guess, but some other things might be surprising. - The first team were told that a points deduction is inevitable and is imminent (although DC is still committed to appealing it). He had heard 12 points was what had been mentioned to the first team and he does think this has really affected the performances etc - DC wants out and has hardly spent any time at the club this season. He is also quite widely disliked by staff there - If we do manage to stay up after a points deduction he doesn't believe DC will be spending much on big signings again - Monk is apparently liked by the players and staff (surprising) and the way he speaks seems to indicate he plans to be here long term and use a new younger side - Westwood and Hutch have been pushed out after falling out with Monk. Apparently they both aren't that well - liked behind the scenes, especially with the newer players. He also described one of them as not a nice character - There are some divisions within the dressing room - Fletcher is a legend and everyone loves him - Rhodes was due to sign for Celtic on transfer deadline day on loan but DC requested a ridiculous loan fee that Celtic didn't want to pay - Monk has been told he can bring in his own backroom staff and wants a big turnover in the current playing squad in the summer - In his opinion as an employee and not a supporter, the club massively lacks leadership and direction and it seems that things are just plodding along without any real aims. Just a sort of, 'let's hope we get promoted' without having any real plan. This stems from DC - He has no idea why we haven't got a Chief Exec or an equivalent to run the day to day things at the club, especially seeing as DC is rarely ever at the club nowadays Most it seems pretty plausible and nothing too groundbreaking. Enjoy . Always loved you Orlando, thanks for the info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve downed tools. Agents will have moves lined up for the summer, and they won’t want to get injured. It’s as simple as that imo. I’ve got to agree with this one, some are clearly going through the motions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, Megson was never a god at this club, he was another one disliked by staff, bit of itk from a few years ago this. I don’t see it like that All our fans love the club, but these players that are currently representing us are a complete embarrassment and many have had enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only slight positive from this mess is that I’m sure DC has plenty of billionaire mates who’d be stupid enough to take a punt at us, although if they’re as naive as DC they can keep their money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horny owl Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 At difficult times like this let’s grasp hold of the only glimmer of hope in the OP Chansiri might actually phook off Hopefully sooner rather than later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyowl Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I think its shameful that we get a points deduction. Will it be the first time in our history? If it is then Chansiri should hang his head in shame and sell up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwellOwl Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Sooner we know our fate the better. Hanging over this team and club, need to know what we are playing with. Do I think it will improve the teams performance? Probably not though it isn’t helping anyone. Comments about Chansiri looking to sell sounds best for all parties.

No 2 is r nilsson Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Does anyone know whether a points deduction wipes the slate clean or could we end up still under an embargo next year? If it does and we can turn the form round for the run in to pull us out of danger then it may be worth taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
