I look at it like this, Howson was the only local journalist given a platform earlier in the year with DC and all the others particularly Radio Sheffield certainly had a problem with this. Now I’m pretty sure there is no love lost between DC and Andy Giddings in particular? The press conference is open to all and Giddings will be the first trying to dig his trotters into DC and if he does I hope DC has someone alongside him because it could easily become a car crash as I think frustration and his less than fluent English will make it hard for DC to get his points across? Knowing that some journalists are going to be there that are going to give him a hard time suggests to me he has some form of announcement up his sleeve to fan the flames before they start. If he hasn’t got one, Thursday night on here will be interesting as I can see a lot of flak coming DC’s way particularly if we lose tonight and he says he’s sticking with the hapless Monk? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like its just a Q&A interview no announcements. Still hoping for a 70,000 stadium though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 1 hour ago, 83owl said: I'm not too sure about that. We still have a huge wage bill and are paying 25k a week to Cheadles director of football 25k a week to a very average centre back in Tom Lees and 30?k a week to a striker who was good 5 years ago, we have a poor squad with the only saleable asset of real value is Iorfa, no players coming through the youth ranks that look like they will make the step up, no history of being able to improve and sell players, poor commercial income, dwindling fanbase and we have exhausted every loophole possible for injecting money into the club. That’s a separate point. Whether we have spent money wisely or played P&S we haven’t. But we have paid all those players and not gone under. Despite losing how many millions? As a business it’s not great or sustainable but that has applied to many clubs, so by stable I mean someone who has covered these losses continually without suddenly bailing.

There is no communication with the fans, until, as now, the poo hits the fan.The club is in a sorry state now, with all the fans slagging everybody. The atmosphere is terrible, just as well nobody can watch the team play, because you can imagine the reception the team would receive tonight !! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as the tv money takes a year to arrive he’d have had to spend like Villa did to keep us there and then keep that going. As Ashley has found out at NUFC it’s a very difficult balance to keep a club up and try and sell for a profit. DC is conkers deep whichever way it plays out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shifty Powers Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 You don’t sack a manager by holding a press conference, so I can’t imagine it’s that. I doubt we can even afford to sack him anyhow. When he wants to speak to us fans, he usually releases a statement at about 11.45pm on a Saturday night and gets posted on our official site. My guess it’s something quite serious to have the national media called. Got to be something to do with our appeal / takeover or dare I say it, administration? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Neg Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I'm going to dream about Thursday. The EFL have removed the 12 point deduction, DC is selling to someone competent and Gary Monk will be replaced before the weekend with Big Nige as interim till the end of the season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 1 hour ago, billyblack said: sorry, i have to disagree 10 year season ticket ideas for a start more detail will come to light when the accounts finally get published, i am veering towards unhealthy financially until proven otherwise Anything like that is a worry. But it always seems a way to skew P&S to me, short termism. But given that hardly anyone bought one of those and we haven’t gone bust and the owner covers the gap anyway. Then we are not in danger unless his stance changes. If a club wants to be truly financially stable they need to go and operate in leagues one and two (with gate receipts). So I say stable in the sense that DC isn’t the fly by night type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
