What you call given free rein I call not giving a shit. It was after all her carelessness that resulted in us selling a player to pay for a pitch repair.

Doug king interviewed on talk sport said they tried to get a new number two for Mark Robins but just couldn't get anyone so he had no choice but to sack Mark Robins.
I almost choked on my caviar at that point.

He gets awfully cross when asked about it
He’s right that he and ccfc have delivered for frasers but it’s only a licence and needs to be 10 years next time
Could have swore someone ITK said Overson paid for the pitch
As for Hyam - I have mixed feelings - Fadz was a much worse loss
He gets cross because he only bought the club because he thought he could get the ground as well
He was offered the same licence as SISU but did not accept it. He was then left scuttling about looking for another venue ( including the UofW) but could not find anything local. He is also blocked from going outside the region by the EFL
Good tactics by Frasers though !!

We sold him at a knockdown rate to Blackburn because they were willing to pay it all in one go and we were desperate for the cash.Could have swore someone ITK said Overson paid for the pitch
As for Hyam - I have mixed feelings - Fadz was a much worse loss
We had tax bill due on top of pitch if I remember correctly. Also think we had turned down offer for him earlier in summer, just shows how desperate and what a mess we were in.
so all these people getting onto DK - careful what you want………

It’s not getting on at him it’s professional curiosity

Well you seem far more challenging of him than the Angel of Death

How would you know?
I was very professionally curious with both Derek and joy you just assumed that nothing I do or say makes any difference
Hes under pressure and rightly so, after making the biggest decision at our club in recent history - this will define him.
Broadly so far however, ignoring MR, he's done far more good than bad. And I actually thought he spoke generally well on Monday, have to take at face value.
He knows this appointment now is critical.

Your attitude on here is different towards them
Seppalla was a car crash from Day 1. Without King I assume we would be bust and certainly Gyokeres would have been sold in a panic Jan sale. She had made enemies everywhere and the well was truly dry

IIRC you sometimes used to say positive things about Fisher though. Did you see him as mitigating some of the worst effects of Joy?
(genuine question btw, not trying to be confrontational)

I know I’m in trouble with the full name
There was no intention to sell Vik in January at a knock down price and your assumption is also wrong
She was not in control from Day 1 others made some very odd decisions until removed

Ha! Says the man who kept on challenging arguably our best ever manager!

Didn’t king say they were days away from bankruptcy? Gyokeres would have been gone for 10m
There was a thread on this at the time. If memory serves me correctly there was not an overwhelming support to keep Hyam and 2.5 to 3.0 million was reasonable. I think the reported sale was £2.5m plus addons.

No its not - but SISU would have sold him.

Overson never paid for the pitch
he did contribute to player wages on many occasions and kept the bills on Ryton afloat but never paid for the pitch at the Ricoh

....and some of that was because MR seemed to have a good working relationship with Joy & Tim
I'm fairly sure a manager who doesn't have that would cease to be a manager quite quickly
better days

That is (literally) incredible
I have repeated this several times but some still say he did (and can prove it but never have)
It's like the nonsense story that SISU are still in charge and DK is their front man

That is what he said at the forum on Monday as well.
