Popular Post Bill 13,717 Posted March 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2022 With all these concerned parties, each intent on looking after the club's best interests, how come we're being reduced to a f*cking soap opera. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weebluedevil 1,239 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) what is the motive behind DKs offer? Is it to further undermine the board knowing they now have no excuse to cancel the circus in Oz, but won't?

Motives aside, the boards reluctance to cancel this farcical friendly is a huge open goal - all DK has done is tapped home from a yard out. He looks the good guy and if the board don't accept his offer, they'll look like the bad guys. No matter what, the club should never have accepted this friendly, all blame for the fall out is entirely their making 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I'm still wondering if the fact they leaked news of the tournament gives us an "out" from the whole thing without penalty. Proving it would maybe be difficult I guess... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You tell the organisers you're planning to withdraw from the tournament, they tell what will happen if you do, then you decide what your next move is. If the price is too high, you let it be known you cannot guarantee it will be first team players turning up, due to pre-season plans etc. Otherwise you regrettably walk away and take the hit. Otherwise this is going to fester until the damage is too deep to ever be repaired. The board appears to think the reputational damage of breaking a contract is worse than losing the goodwill of the support. It's a viewpoint they'll regret taking. I've spent a considerable amount of money these last few years that I wouldn't have spent if I hadn't felt it was helping get the club to where I wanted it to be. Without faith in the board, that support all goes out the window. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, remember a few years ago when I was based in Toronto, we had a friendly arranged in Hamilton Ontario v Sporting (?) and they pulled out close to the date of the game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
