Beauchief Owl Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Whatever you say about DC, it takes guts to have a press conference and face awkward questions at a time like this. It's always much, much easier when things are going well. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately he is our benefactor and has got some things wrong and is rectifying it - he’s pumped hundreds of millions in, we haven’t forced it of course, but I’m willing to judge his actions from here on Hes agreed to an interview and telling us a lot of stuff we already knew, and he’s getting slated. He’s said he’ll spend in Jan if we need to, I imagine he’s given Monk more time based on a points deduction being halved that he knew was coming and to let his team ‘gel’ - I suspect he would shift him out if it doesn’t get better by Xmas. There is literally nothing more we/he can do now - we’ve got the team, manager, backroom staff and a club that has no income coming in and he’s propping it up. The only change he can make is to fire Monk - I don’t see that happening now, yesterday has given him more time, maybe another 10 games. Hundreds of millions, on what?? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be the future but we there needs to be a balance where going to the games is preferable to watching via a stream. We need all forms of income to kick on that means getting everything right from ticket prices to club shop and food at the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly every thread on here is negative and you don’t see that elsewhere Maybe 70 years of winning sod all (League cup apart), big city club is appalling, I think we're allowed to be a little whiney and fed up with it all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, you know.. charging more if we get to the premier league vs being in the championship exactly like it is now. Whats the theory? Right, we’ve lost two games 7-0, next match is only a fiver? Couple of wins and it’s 50 quid? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 CHANSIRI ON PREMIER LEAGUE AMBITIONS When we tried to go up a few years ago and weren’t successful then we needed to step back and try again. These two or three years we are rebuilding and try to go back. Every team wants to go up but we just don’t know what will happen. The difference from another business is that I can go in and affect something, but football I cannot do that. We need to rely on the players. It’s not easy. 1 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mcguigan Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Is it wise for DC to allow Monk so much influence in signings? " Birmingham chief executive claims Garry Monk was fired after a dispute over use of his agent" Walked from Leeds because he couldn't have final say on transfers. Fell out with Gibson over players he signed. Wonder how many of our new signings can be traced to James Featherstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
