[Barrel of Fun]

Very worrying................

Why is that worrying, Harty? What is exactly is your grudge against DK?

I would think that that is most obvious DK has neither the experience nor the knowledge, compared to those people mentioned, of players that may become available. What is the saying ' a little knowledge is harmful'

I am positive that it is about the technicalities involved in the transfer market and not the actual picking of the players etc.

More like Harty is scared of more Turienzos turning up

That wasn't said. 'On transfer activities I can help him' which encompasses all aspects of transfers including the selecting of targets. It is well documented that he has been responsible for many of our recent transfers of players Iwellumo, Reid that spring to mind.


You cannot say one day MM and I went to see a player and then when that turns out to be a dud signing wash your hands of it.

All managers and Chairmen are entitled to make a bad decision re a transfer, it is nothing to be ashamed of provided it doesn't happen too often.

If Wilkins is inexperienced in transfer dealings, then absolutely fair enough. As I understand, Dean White is doing the majority of them.

The only dealings I'd want Dean White involved in would be a new plasma for the hospitality suite

From the argus:

If there is any mentoring to do I can do it in terms of transfer activity. I can teach him and we can work together on that."

So now he has shown he wants to control team affairs!

 

[Harty]

Barrel of Fun for the umpteenth time I have no personal grudge or hidden agenda with DK, however I find it worrying because this 'mentoring' theme is Dick in a position of which he has no real proffessional expertise.
I know of a number of former club employees who like most of us all know and love Dick, but have all said one of his big drawbacks is that he actually believes he knows what he's talking about when trying to find players, I know we all have opinion, its all part of the fun, but its a bit different when you are actually making the decisions when your not really qualified to.

 

[El Presidente]

Is there any truth in the rumour we are now trying to sign the reknowned Swiss born Argentinian player with a chip on his shoulder called Colin Molango-Turienzo?

 

[Harty]

Hopefully not, but on the other hand the chairman was quite impressed with what he saw.

Knights had his sticky fingers involved with most managers telling them who to sign and so on.. but i would guess that Adams probably told him to f-off.
No one person runs the club...i dont think so !!!!!

Why are they sticky?

Didn't MA once allude to interference from above?
If not him, it was Taylor or Coppell.

 

[Ernest]

I can't see Adams, Coppell or Taylor putting up with any interference from DK and maybe a reason why they didn't want to hang around.
