Well it would be if it weren’t so predictable. “Think the worst”? Players apparently aren’t being paid. We’re in the middle of a hearing which could see us relegated for financial mismanagement. I could go on. There are plenty of reasons to question what’s going on and what the hell he is doing to the club. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're 100% correct that it's ridiculous to jump to conclusions, but there is an air of ineptitude about DC... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daleblue Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Dont know why people get in a flap, he's using this time to show we are conforming to FFP and saving on wages, can't see a problem, high earners who refused to play out their contracted deals should not be paid for work they refused to do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauchief Owl Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Isn't this the sort of situation Macclesfield have been deducted points for? Mind you in their case it was all the players and it happened several times. Hopefully this will be resolved quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Even if the club has done nothing wrong and e everything is in order, it is still frustrating to see stories like this get leaked. All just points towards a questionable culture within the football club. A few jilted, trouble making players taking one final parting shot perhaps? Who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NeonLeon Posted June 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2020 Last time it was a banking error that put a cap on how much the club could pay out in a single transaction. It meant every player got paid the same iirc, something like 5k each. But the club rectified it a day or so later and the bank acknowledged their mistake. Wasn’t there even a statement on the OS regarding it too, or am I imagining that? All I’ll say is it’s funny the stories leaked on a day where several ‘disruptive’ players have come to the end of their contracts. One in particular who’s agent was quick to run to the local media a few weeks back about something similar let us not forget. Considering DC’s generosity throughout lockdown towards the non playing staff, I find it hard to believe this is anything more than a genuine error somewhere in the chain. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it would be if it weren’t so predictable. So we’re currently defending ourselves against an EFL charge which might see us relegated. We’ve had to sell our ground as a short term (shortsighted?) means of avoiding embargo / points penalty as a consequence of mismanaging finances. We’ve sold the ground in such a way that may see us with a points penalty anyway. And now this story breaks - given that it’s not the first time something like this has happened, what are people supposed to think of DC? 5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
