Groundhopping Owl Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Nancy Frostick reporting in The Athletic this morning that DC has “formed a partnership” with Erik Alonso, who runs a consultancy firm called WBD Sports Management and will advise him on recruitment and youth development. Alonso owns Indonesian side Bali United, has links to DC United in the MLS and his clients have included Max Gradel and Emre Mor (ex-Dortmund). Seems that DC has reverted to the tried and tested “if in doubt get more advisers” method. At least they’re not as shadowy as a certain other associate - this WBD lot have their own website and everything: https://www.wbdsports.com 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Farrell Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 We need more Sports Management companies on board. Worked really well for us so far. Whatever happened to a competent Chairman and CEO ? It really isn't rocket science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post @owlstalk Posted December 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2020 I welcome this move Anyone and anything that can take any amount of decision making away from the Chairman has to be a good thing IF it takes away decision making If it's just folk saying 'you should do this..' and Chansiri doesn't listen then it's obviously a pointless exercise 39 1 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Might be a good move or might just end up with us being a dumping ground for more players who are crocks, past it or both. Let's wait and see. Does this mean Piaxao has got the boot. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
