Darlo Uncovered

An exciting forward and proven goal scorer announced today/tomorrow.

Disappointing but off to York as they are full time

I see they require a minimum of licence A so it excludes a lot of Academy people.

Quakersfan ,is this not just you speculating and hoping you'll be close to getting something right for a change, I think your just taking a punt on what might happen and claiming it as fact heard from a good source.as you usually do.

Just what I’ve heard that’s all.

Head of Academy about to be advertised apparently, feel sorry for Whitey TBH as he has to apply for the role. I’m beginning to think the club has a money tree or is this the extra money raised above the target of £80K to pay for other staff. Perhaps SuperLes can confirm?

I thought I’d read somewhere (possibly at a fans forum) that AW wasn’t doing the academy as he didn’t have the right qualifications to run on his own, therefore TW did it. Happy to be corrected Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk He took his qualifications at the back end of last season so he should...

The next plan simply has to be long term. Even if it’s going to take 10 years to come to fruition the objective has to be for us to have autonomy of our own ground whether we physically own it or not as long as there is a very long term lease on it. Short term success is great but if it’s not under...

Big thanks for that Gramps. So Laing coming in, and possibly Maguire and Jameson. Heck, we'd not need a whole lot else beyond loan moves at that point , would we? A modest and attainable target, and i hope we set up to play some attacking football. I see this Sporting Village is still hanging like ...

Really enjoyed last night, very honest open answers. Have to say the comment by a fan in respect to BM hospitality food upstairs was a bit unfair. As a regular the food has improved since the turn of the year. Slagging them off is not going to improve the situation any time soon.

Looking forward to this one, firstly to hear AA’s view on squad and DJ update on Sports Village/Blackwell as it appears to have gone very quiet on that front.

I'm amazed that nobody has bothered to mention the Northern Echo article this morning, that Steve McClaren was involved in the final say and was one of the people at the second interviews. wow. Wasn't it well known that a North Eastern based manager with experience from higher up the league's was i...

Agreed a few weeks ago to go to Hereford. There’s no way we could afford his wages with new budget. Attraction of AA is he can work wonders with a small budget, hopefully he can but we won’t know until Sept/Oct at the earliest so let’s just get behind him.

BTB is just money into the pot. We have expected revenue + BTB. Then remove expected costs and what's left is the budget, with hopefully some wriggle room left over this time - if we have learned from last season. The beauty of BTB is the money comes in each month so on quiet months you have an inc...

I’ve got every confidence in Jonathan Jowett our company secretary and John Vickerman advising on everything HR would have checked all this out before any contract was offered as that’s both their day jobs.

Great interview, said all the right things, if we could get a cup run even better; nice to hear he sought advice from Hodgy would love to see him him around occasionally on match days.

Very positive and realistic interview

Excellent news. Two top 10 finishes in this division to his name, and a promotion too suggests a good pedigree at this level. Provided he’s willing to work with the budget given, then this could be an excellent appointment. Also, the people running the process deserve huge credit. The last time out...

All been sorted tonight apparently expect it to be announced formally late tonight or first thing.

Spenny will have a bigger squad than Chelsea soon. One way or another there's sure to be some good players becoming available.

Yeah there’ll certainly be a few players available for Shields to pick up for a fee.

I reckon we will get Laing & Rivers, Spenny and Shields have big pockets

People are right there has not been an official club announcement as yet. However its on the echo site and twitter that the deal is done. Don't think the echo would report a not happening.it should be announced officially this evening. I’m guessing he hasn’t actually signed contract, once he does t...

Good appointment and he should bring a number of players with him, hope we keep hold of Trotman though.

Personally out of the names suggested I reckon it will be Alun Armstrong he’s unhappy at Blyth so will likely bring his whole team and a raft of players with him. The good news for me is he won’t want to tread water so we should see an exciting season coming up. Personality wise he’s more MG than TW...

I think one thing is for sure. Based on Andy Toman's outbursts, we can safely say he didn't make the shortlist.

His reaction shows whoever didn’t choose him for an interview was totally correct, even Super Les would agree with me we missed a bullet there.

If we are going all out for promotion then it’s AA for me. However if it’s consolidation then perhaps one of the other names that has been mentioned.

Super Les you need to chill. At the end of the day we all want DFC to be a success but we may have different views in how to achieve this.

I was told at the players awards by a DFCSG board member who was doing interviews so what is your problem. You said it was on the website, now you are saying you were told at the awards, which one is it? Also do you think it’s good or bad that DFCSG are involved? In regards to problems I don’t have...

Presumably John Saddington is actually John Vickerman, the HR guy who's been running the process? Either way, quakersfan is demonstrating his/her anti-DFCSG agenda again. Not sure why the need for the sly comments all the time. Much better to be open about what the issue is, or we can just write hi...

Heard tonight initial interviews were done by Chris Stockdale, John Saddington and Jon Woolnough, not sure when DJ will be involved, possibly 2nd interviews. Very clear though that the DFCSG are in full control of the recruiting process.

Hopefully scope for the new manager to bring in a decent amount of players plus loans. The defence does need sorting out as our goals against column was shocking last year however it improved towards the end of the season. We need a midfield spoiler as we were too light weight, hopefully we will ha...
