What time?
yes because the radio silence from SISU worked out well didnt it?Thought it was incredibly boring. Him backing down on the 8/10 games issue is tragic again.
Didn’t like his comments regarding squad depth nor his comments about the club haemorrhaging money.
Also seems like the kits won’t be on sale any time soon.
It’s all a bit amateur. Unsure why he’s constantly talking to the press, fix your actions your words are meaningless.
Looks like itDoug framed it that if you can't get to 8 games, you probably should not have a ST.
Has the number changed then from 10 to 15 postings on the exchange for not having a ST in the FZ in 25/26?

Phil Upton put a question/suggestion to him about having light shows and fireworks like Hull and Wolves. Doug basically said it's all good and well people suggesting this but it all costs money and Championship clubs generally are loss making and lose between £10-15m a year.What did he say about squad depth and heamorrhaging money?
What's incredibly boring is the seemingly desperate need for negativity when, in my opinion, there's no reason to be anything but positive and incredibly optimistic about next season and the general direction the club is headed.Thought it was incredibly boring.

It was prompted by a question about a pre game light show which was obviously light hearted.
He then changed the tone completely and basically said what @Grendel has been saying about the losses the club makes. How he is keeping the club afloat and it isn’t sustainable in the long term.
In regards to squad depth, he feels it’s a waste of wages as they don’t play much and would rather put money into the medical side to keep players fit. Then he rambled on about how he monitors the ‘hardness’ of the pitch at Ryton.

Squad depth he was a bit sketchy on but was trying to say they are trying to improve the welfare side of things with a view to reducing injuries.
I’m not sure why a self-confessed novice to football like Doug would be making these kinds of directives to the recruitment team. Surely that’s not how he runs his other businesses?Sounds a bit delusional really, with the best will in the world medical staff do not prevent injury. We didn't even have a particularly bad season injuries wise and still struggled a bit, if he can't see that it's quite worrying.
If that's his opinion on squad depth then my prediction for next season now has us dropping short again.It was prompted by a question about a pre game light show which was obviously light hearted.

Yeah agree with this - really dont think we had that bad injury record last season at all. Squad depth needs a big improvementSounds a bit delusional really, with the best will in the world medical staff do not prevent injury.

Yep. Even if the injuries aren't there the drop in performance from tiredness will be. If the end of the season with games coming thick and fast due to the cup run didn't tell King we need a bigger squad then nothing will.Yeah agree with this - really dont think we had that bad injury record last season at all. Squad depth needs a big improvement
So we sold out under SISU then?Made little difference really
I would imagine he has probably been listening to advice and researching what other clubs do.I’m not sure why a self-confessed novice to football like Doug would be making these kinds of directives to the recruitment team. Surely that’s not how he runs his other businesses?
Off the top of my head, at various times last season - all of which will add to the load on uninjured players, we had Sheaf, Allen, O’Hare, Tavares, Torp, Binks, Kelly, Wright, Sakamoto, Palmer, Van Ewijk injured.Yeah agree with this - really dont think we had that bad injury record last season at all.

Which other clubs are deliberately not reinforcing their squad depth?I would imagine he has probably been listening to advice and researching what other clubs do.

That’s not what he said, and I was replying to your comment that a self confessed novice shouldn’t be issuing directives.Which other clubs are deliberately not reinforcing their squad depth?

Weren’t people complaining about the medical staff when we kept getting ACL injuries? Improving your infrastructure and medical provision can only be viewed as a positive.
Unless he said ‘we’re not signing any more players’, then you can worry. MR has said that he wants and needs more players and he’s going to get that.
My observation is that a lot of people just want something to complain about.
And which of those injuries could be prevented through more medical work? I'm not sure many could.Off the top of my head, at various times last season - all of which will add to the load on uninjured players, we had Sheaf, Allen, O’Hare, Tavares, Torp, Binks, Kelly, Wright, Sakamoto, Palmer, Van Ewijk injured.
