This thing about employees leaving as they don’t like the chairman is nonsense, the club was losing £5m a year under MM and the exec boxes were being run at a loss, the increase DC made was too high but something had to change, some of the disgruntled staff would have been people in cosy non-jobs milking the club dry. Many employees are still in the same jobs they were in when DC took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldog Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 So in essence, just a summation of what Owlstalk has been saying for the last 3 months?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 . Sounds like a viable accounting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the hagiographers of Westwood/Hutch here. And those thinking Monk lost the team from the freeze-out. Sounds like the opposite. Exactly why that Athletic story about Hutch being a real locker room leader smelled like disseminated damage control. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In absence of such my professional stance would be to give benefit of doubt to the club as I know how much this would have been scrutinized by the independent auditors. Until proven otherwise still believe club will have a solid case. On other hand the silence on this from the club since December is understandably worrying for fans and there seems to be a lot of negative spin against the club being fed to media whilst this is ongoing Agreed - always said given the vested interest from various professionals here that I can't believe they would put reputations at stake without considerable evidence. And that if the EFL think they know best there will be a fight as a result not just by the Club. It is very different arguing about the "market value" compared to the timing of recognising a transactiom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
