Just been on RTG after an afternoon with the team. Is there any reason why everyone wants to behead Dodds? Or no reason?

Some Turkish gadgee posted on Twitter that his continued employment by the club is a sticking point in still’s appointment, leading to various accusations of nepotism by KS and KLD, some improper arrangement with jobe (can’t follow that one myself) and various other things criticising the club and its ownership, leading to an outcry and a demand for his immediate execution and dismemberment. In other words a typically reasonable RTG debate.

Figured. Hope they don’t carry knives. Emotional regulation is significantly poor by most residents of that site.

It's the 'all or nothing' society we live in just as players are top class, and we won't be able to hang onto them, or shyte and we should never have bought them. Also because Dodds isn't standing toe to toe with them ...

... bravery is easy when there's no risk of getting a fist in yer gob <laugh>

The unspoken understanding is that the club will not sanction transfer fees for players over 25. If you look at the signings since KLD came in:

Winchester (27) - nominal fee
Pritchard (28) - Free Transfer
Evans (30) - Free Transfer
Batth (31) - Free Transfer
Roberts (25) - Free Transfer
Defoe (39) - Free Transfer
Dack (29) - Free Transfer

There's a definite theme there...Other than Winchester, we haven't spent a penny on players over 24

Yeah, I see what you're saying but I don't think that, in the event that they do pay a transfer fee for an over 25, this would be some kind of major break from the model. It would just mean that they'd decided that spending that money was worthwhile. I just don't think that doing something that certain amongst the fans have decided isn't part of 'the model' means that KLD and Speakman have torn up their plan for running the club.

I agree with you, but if we DO see some money spent on those sorts of players it suggests KLD has learnt from his mistakes last season.

And, if that were the case, would you see that as a vindication for those who’ve argued that KLD and KS are a couple of tossers who’ve been found out, or, would you say they’ve recognised a shortcoming in their strategy and are aiming to put things right?

Too many people saying Still is done now IMO, hope this week hurries up so we can get to june 1st <laugh>

It's not done yet, and the 1st of June rumour depends on UEFA giving the green light on his new licence. So I've been told, but knowing UEFA it could be a tad longer.

Mad, I’ve heard off about 4-5 different people now that it is done. I wonder what the truth is

So, he’s got his Pro licence, but Uefa have to approve it, before he can be appointed by us?

When I was doing finance work with a lot of clubs I did on a very rare occasion meet the 2 guys who looked after the prem and champions league
So yes but very little, great example was Ricky villa and Ardilles, FIFA nee bother, UEFA not so,
And let's not forget the little fat baldy fraud.
