I think we've been in the "isn't it great to have serious businessmen running the club" space before. Lots of nailing colours to masts going on here very early in his tenure. Let's wait and see how things are by the end of August, end of January 24 and end of next season.

And this is the point. He’ll mainly be judged by what happens on the field, and I don’t think too many people will mind if he makes Tynan Scope cry and upsets Dave Boddy along the way if we get promoted in the next 5 years.
As for the ‘narcissist’ nonsense- if we’re only looking to have nice cuddly people making the decisions then maybe we should get Andy Thorn back in some capacity, he was a lovely bloke

It is about opinions, but they tend to be better when they’re backed with something apart from a personal grudge.
he’s trying to get more money in- ruffling a few feathers to do it but that’s life unfortunately- but the only time you can really judge him is next season, until then it’s just silly talk based on alleged personality disorders and a cheesy video

Most people saw that he was taking the piss with the video. It was supposed to be funny and most had a laugh with it.

Bare minimum ? Home ground secured, new top class pitch being laid, same at Ryton and refurbishment, new contracts for the management team, nearly 13000 season tickets sold already, corporate boxes sold for proper money, debt free, all since January if that’s the bare minimum i can’t wait until he gets serious and does a proper job.

I for one can’t wait for the mystery machine to turn up and pull the faces of Doug and Will King off and it was Joy and Tim all along.
Would have got away with it too if it wasn’t for the pesky fans

I don’t understand what all this stuff about ‘trust’ is about.
He will be judged on results, not how nice of a guy he is.
I don’t trust him and I don’t distrust him, he’s there to do a job in a very ruthless cutthroat industry, not run group therapy sessions

The way I see it is that SISU wanted out and had reached the end of the line in terms of investment. Despite what some people say SISU did invest in the club. MA was/is interested in buying the club otherwise why buy the stadium. Problem so far as any potential buyer is concerned is that there is nothing to buy. Player values don't count. So what do SISU do, they find any investor who is prepared to invest in the infrastructure and raise the clubs profile to make the club saleable. Out of the blue comes DK with shall I say tenuous links to SISU, and what he is doing is getting things in place to make the club saleable.

But why don't you trust him? Why are you choosing to take a glass half empty, negative outlook. If you can't be optimistic after getting to the playoff final, having a new owner, no wasps etc them when will you be able to?
He's actually got a plan and an ambition. Something we haven't had for years. We have an owner outwardly saying he doesn't want us to stand still ad a club and try and achieve promotion. Yet somehow there's still negativity. Would we rather just the same old from before?

Callum O’Hare must be a narcissist as well then!
He has repeatedly said aim is play offs though which seems ambitious enough to me without having the parachute payments etc.

The trouble is, the man might do a really good job on the off the pitch stuff, but if we have a dip on the playing side, people will have a pop at him regardless. if he does an average job, but the team does well, he's 'the saviour'.

Listened to DK's interview in the car this morning on the way to work, I agree with the sentiment that if we want to get to the Premier League the club is going to need to increase it's revenue streams to attract better players. The club's main revenue stream is ST's, so an increase on season ticket prices was obvious.
Given that corporate prices have been lower than on our competitors for so long, I don't think anyone can argue with the clubs logic.
If fans don't like the prices sit somewhere else, it's not difficult.

I’m not convinced by King - he’s started well in some respects with making the off field stuff more professional. He has however stated he wants the play offs 3/5 years - this won’t happen without investment on the pitch. I’m reserving by judgement until he’s given the tools to Robins so these goals can be achieved
we were burned under SISU - forgive us for being cautious
