Discrepancy of a few thousand a week, peanuts to keep a player of that quality

it doesn’t affect the whole squad, as the best players get paid the most

especially considering the wages we spunked on a total flop such as Wankhorn

many of the above is probably a factor in the ultimate decisions made by the people involved and or by the club.
Sponsors have been an issue especially with previous sponsors being told to cough up double on last year.
Click to expand...
We have pushed on a level since those deals were signed. If the contracs have lapsed and double is the going rate then they should be paying it.

I can only speak from own experience but I’ve been in presence of Doug, Boddy etc in the boardroom and he was very courteous to all staff, going as far as giving a speech to thank the staff who fetch the food and drinks for everyone, as well as individually picking out other members of staff, knowing and acknowledging their contributions. He seemed very hands on but very kind to those he interacted with.

Of course he could be different behind closed doors.

We are not even in July yet. I think there's a lot of panicking over nothing at the moment. If by first game of season we haven't signed a single body or very little I'd expect some questions raised but I think we will see a whole host of signings over the next few weeks. I'm probably the least ITK on here - I actually don't know anything! But it seems illogical to stress now when there's so much time left.

I don't know DK but so far he comes across as quite shrewd and makes decisions quickly and completely my own perception but quite an intelligent bloke overall even if he as he admits is on a learning curve. Let's just sit back and relax for a bit and see how things pan out.

If, and it's the big if, any of these rumblings are true.... It just sounds like people who have been coasting and comfortable for way too long have had their noses put put of joint as they are suddenly being criticised or things changing from their cushty little number. That's what happens in takeovers. It can come out as unrest and 'so and so' is being unreasonable and upsetting everyone, but that comes from those bitter ones that their golden ticket to an easy living that suits them is coming to an end.

I'm saying this based on what little and cryptic stuff people are saying.

The “back room” isn’t that big is it so hardly a coup d’etat if some even all get replaced and how that affects any transfer dealings I’m scratching my head on that one.

He is trying to build a business that has been neglected for 15 years. That is some task - some things will be done incorrectly but his aim has to be to make the club a Championship club in all aspects rather than a joke off field which is what we were

I think it’s fine to be arrogant as long as you deliver. Having a song for him is quite ridiculous. Everyone got carried away because we got rid of Sisu. This pre-season will be his real test.

Personally I do. Too many people taking advantage of poor management and low prices. Only way we move forward is increased revenue and professionalism off the pitch

I genuinely have no idea and I do not understand his purchase motivation.

However, you have to give him a chance to work at it. Its all very well saying people like Boddy, Scope and Hornby have football experience but the experience was working to a system of off field chaos. None of them have any experience at revenue generating at this level and what is required to build a championship brand. Boddy I am sure was bought in for non football "expertise" anyway.

Ironically the most experienced operator off field with football knowledge was without question Tim Fisher. Should we have kept him?

Some of the nonsense on here yesterday was I think delivered with some malicious intent. Impressions have been given Hamer wants to stay and King is the problem. There is zero evidence and you wonder what is the motivation

There is one very pro Sisu poster on here as well who will meddle when the time suits and stir anti King sentiment.

The pricing policy across everything is poor and just makes no sense

He has to balance things and learn from errors he will make but he has to be given the opportunity. There is also zero point in referencing the prior regime - they were broke and had no funding left. They could not compete as this level partly due to the people they were employing to make decisions regarding revenue generation.

The players they’ve been linked with so far have been ridiculous. Winks alone should be the best player in the league. It’s just unfair really.

On the back of selling Maddison or Barnes maybe both. Winks okay nothing special if Spurs get £10million for him well done them. And it puts any price for Hamer on equal footing at least.

Good ownership is getting £100m for being relegated and being able to sell all your players for another £100m because Premier League sides spend stupid money on ‘Premier League proven’ players?
