Binks was at Como for a while.

He was a technical director or something wasn't he?No, he’s been let go because they’ve got a new manager.
Well if he’s heading this way, Mark Robins taxi driver better start wearing a crash helmetMaybe? Or maybe Delaney...
What ??? I guess Simon Jordan Palaces' previous owner who has admitted many times his time there cost him 50 million might take issue on that point. The person responsible for the club is the owner, if Mark Robbins turns overnight into Russel Slade, the worst that can happen to him is he will be sacked and King will have to pay up his 2/3 year contract, Football is one of the few professions where you can be rewarded for failure.Owning the club comes with no responsibility. No one is going to sack him. The person responsible for the club is the manager. It’s his job on the line if we don’t progress.

Look at Man Utd , how many terrible signings have they made over the past few years, costing the club hundreds of millions, yet the manager/s,are mainly supported by their fans, and the owners who are hated rightly so, are blamed for everything.
Spoken like a man who has never run a business of any scale …..No one sacks owners. They aren’t responsible for results. They come and go as makes financial sense for them.

It’s like me betting a tenner on a game and claiming I’m now more responsible than the manager for the results.
Your words Owning a club comes with NO responsibility that is clearly nonsense. Spin it how you want to, its nonsense.Even King ends up losing millions of his own money yes you would probably not lose a moment sleep. You think his family would care. You think he is not responsible for staff who may lose their jobs at the club. Wow.No one sacks owners. They aren’t responsible for results. They come and go as makes financial sense for them.
If we go bust Doug is highly unlikely to get away unscathed. Most likely is that he will lose millions. That is the norm in football.If CCFC go bust Doug will walk away unharmed. He’s not a small business owner putting his life savings on the line FFS.

If your club is successful you make money if it’s really unsuccessful you lose a lot of money.
That’s the known risk an owner takes but let’s not pretend football ownership is risk free, it’s far from it.
The Everton owners have pumped nearly £600m into the club and couldn’t attend matches they were hated so much. They can’t walk down the streets of Liverpool without being abused.

You’ve changed your tune. A few minutes ago he would walk away unharmed if the club went bust, now he should expect to lose millions …. Vehicle reversing …If King doesn’t expect to lose millions running a football club he’s in the wrong business.

Well Mike Ashley didn't lose millions selling Newcastle did he.I believe he made nearly 200 million profit.And I expect the Glazers will make hundreds of millions maybe billions when they finally sell Man Utd.So no owners don't all expect to lose millions. Rich people don't usually like to lose money it's why they are rich and you and I aren't.If King doesn’t expect to lose millions running a football club he’s in the wrong business.
Can't wait for the crowd to sing this before kick off v Oxford.We live and die as a club on what the manager does.

All owners know they could possibly lose their Investment. It's acceptable loss to most of them
Owning a modern day football club is a vanity project for rich folk. They invest until they get bored, most of them have the financial clout to give it a go but will be insulated personally from risk. The ones that fail often over leverage rather than getting investors on board as this means less control. DK is a very smart cookie and knows that unless he is a complete idiot he will have a saleable asset should he choose to do so just by putting the club on a normal footing from where it was. Building new infrastructure at Ryton strengthens the price of the asset for instance.Spoken like a man who has never run a business of any scale …..
We've signed only 3 new players brand new to the squad?We can probably forget a top six push again this season.
Losing 50% of a decent management team means we have to rebuild peoples knowledge and trust of each other.
Having another pre-season influx of quite a quantity of players also means getting to know each others way of playing, which is key to any successful team.
Mid table at best for me, and then hopefully a top six next season.
No, but if he’s loaning the club money he wouldn’t get it back so would lose significant sums.If CCFC go bust Doug will walk away unharmed. He’s not a small business owner putting his life savings on the line FFS.
Yes, you are right. I guess I also meant the new trainers also. It takes time.We've signed only 3 new players brand new to the squad?
Or we win promotion with a top 2 finish, largely credited to a marked improvement in the coaching structure, methods & personnel.We can probably forget a top six push again this season.

I though Gary mac played in Championship, or is my memory failing?Strachan was just manager then, and McAllister had gone.
He did, but it was a bit later on. He left to go to Liverpool in our last season in prem (bigger loss than Keane for me). Strachan stayed for a few games in the first season down, then (I think), Nilsson came back and was manager till near the end of the season. THEN, McAllister came back as player manager.I though Gary mac played in Championship, or is my memory failing?
