Wonder how many of them have already forgotten DCs attitude to refunds after trousering the cash and how any of the would be replacements they demand would have handled it. A lot more cynically than DC did you can bet. it’s not about him spending fortunes it’s about him selling the ground to himself and putting the sale in the wrong years accounts that most probably will result in us being relegated this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyowl Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I hope we get found not guilty. However if we are found guilty and a points deduction is given then I blame DC, none if this EFL blame game, DC is in charge he makes the decisions. If we do get a points deduction its shameful, its basically saying you tried to cheat and got caught and it's not what our club should be about. If we end up in league one it's over, Fans will be massively split, DC and Monk will be under huge pressure, abuse will follow all while them lot are riding high in the premiership which makes it 100 times worse! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club ticking over in league one at a guess If that's what it takes then fair enough. How long do you think the EFL will put up with clubs continually breaching FFP rules and effectively just giving them a slap on the wrist? In the pst clubs have suffered massive point deductions for rule breaches regarding financial impropriety (weren't Luton docked something like 30 points 10 years or so back which saw them effectively relegated from the EFL) and in some cases even been expelled.

It is very sad, but some fans just want us to continue gambling by spaffing money (albeit with a new owner) as if that solves the problem. It doesn't. The only thing that solves the problem is running the club properly which in fairness is what 90% of owners are currently failing to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't understand why. If we are punished, there can be no question where the blame lies surely? Even if we get away with it, it should never have come to such a shabby and dangerous gamble. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a lot more, know how to rip things down, absolute clueless in what takes it place. It’s all been said before. I could write for hours but after a long day I really can’t be bothered. And in reality is their and point trying because the chansiri @rse lickers for some reason won’t ever accept criticism of him.

I’ve got a lot of time for the owner, but he will take full responsibility (as he should) for any guilty verdict or FFP in general , so the ones coming on here spouting stories to defend him or exonerate him of blame are just either on the wind up or plain daft to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because (as always) some fans believe that criticism of anything the chairman does is akin to a blade running on our pitch and crapping on the centre circle. 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
