With regard Wednesday decision making has been consistently very poor. His advisory team (Paixao) has been found wanting. He needs to rely on someone and he chose badly. The new bunch offer restructuring advice (which is badly required) and in return for efforts may get % of club. I am not sure if agents are allowed to own clubs but their are rules on separation of duties. Agents are generally a rum bunch and all are tainted with some sort of issue. Clearly some are better than others and some clubs have benefited from close relations due to access to players. If Paixao has taken a backward step and we have different voice in DC's lug this can be no bad thing from football point of view. The horrendous decisions made have cost DC millions and most would have been preventable. The TP fiasco has clearly brought things to a head and hopefully at least one penny has finally dropped with DC regarding running of football club. I do not think advice given to DC could have been much worse than it has been so lets hope new guy offers real improvement going forward. Has anybody git background on Alonso yet outside of WB sports? Has anybody git background on Alonso yet outside of WB sports? Well other than he drove a very fast car & played for Liverpool, I'm stumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddogbob Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 There is obviously nothing to worry about if you are looking to recruit football players on LinkedIn and you've popped your number at the end of the advert. And no I'm not posting the screenshot or giving Erik a friendly call asking if he'd like to come round for a bbq. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 It always amazes me that when anyone is linked in any capacity to this club the whole forum turns into some kind of private investigation company maybe we could make our millions that way ? this time next year Rodney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just scrolled his Linkedn and you’re right, he’s tried to recruit players via his account. On some of them it’s just lads tagging their mates in for a laugh. But like others have said, absolutely nothing to worry about. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi1867 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 6 hours ago, Groundhopping Owl said: 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 Maybe the start of a club philosophy, or building the club business up, at last. Wont hold my breath though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
