Darlo Uncovered

Yeh, like Scott Barrow. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk Scott Barrow was signed by Steve Watson. Josh gowling signs old crocks like Asante. That was my point. Gowling signed a crock in Asante. Watson signed a crock in Barrow. Very little difference in the last 12 months for the pair of them...

He has been out of action for a few months as he continues to work through injury. Just the sort of player JG would have signed. Yeh, like Scott Barrow.

And before somebody points out our record with those front 3 in the side at the start of this season under Alun, then you will also note the current league positions of those sides we faced in the opening 8 matches: 2nd, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 15th. Yep, you couldn't expect AA to conjour w...

Some really good posts on this thread. Am struck by how much some people still rate Armstrong and it makes me wonder if am being too harsh. I guess we would have been better off sticking with him rather than having Gowling but I think AA had the longest run with a failing team I have seen. Months a...

Think we are going around in circles here. Ultimately, Armstrong is responsible for his failures, Gowling for his. Decision makers should be responsible for theirs. Tommy Wright - disaster Two year contract extension for AA - disaster Gowling - disaster We’ve then got the ‘dubious’. The stuff I won...

Ahh I forgot the season finished in September! If the board were so confident in Armstrong’s ability to give him a two year deal then they were stupid to get rid so soon in the season especially if there was money still in the kitty. Even if Armstrong had stayed we would not be in this mess now, we...

Armstrong went public last month making himself available for a managerial role again. That could well be a hint that the notice period had been served.

At the 4 month mark, which would be one months' notice for each year employed.

Doesn't sound unreasonable to me, if true.

No one has explained it apart from saying 'DJ said we werent laible for ALL of it'--the idea he has a 2 year contract and will have to accept 3 months wages is ridiculous---we may end up paying him a lump sum that is less than his full value IF he agreed, but this glib 'its been paid off stance' is...

Who’s contracted for next season? Bar those, I’d probably only want to keep Hatfield if he’s not in the above. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Hatfield , Nelson and possibly Asante. Not sure on Main. Priority for me is ensuring Steve W and Terry M are with us. Can you imagine relegation with no ...

Just had a read over some of the twitter fallouts (I lurk rather than post on there). The keeper coach should be shown the door. Regardless of the agreement (and I think that's an insane agreement to have, I don't see how you can masquerade as a coach when you aren't prepared to go to the matches o...

DJ has led us to a path of success, over the last few years while keeping the finances in check, so not going into administration again, and 6 leagues down. There have been innovations like the way you can pay by tapping on a terminal to pay which were led by the board members, (very rare at other ...

From taking to fellow fans I don't detect in the silent majority a groundswell of opinion for people who have made mistakes to resign, be chucked out, guillotined or put in the stocks in the market place for a period of self-reflection. It's clear mistakes have been made that led us to this point a...

On this thing with the GK coach.. Are we suggesting that we should be paying a GK coach what would presumably be 12 hours pay to warm an experienced GK up for 15 minutes before a game? Twice in a week this week? I’m just confused why there’s people think that this is a good use of our money. What a...

What does a "two year contract" mean, then? Have you seriously never seen or signed a contract before? Almost every contract is full of clauses and various terms to protect both parties in case of disputes. That's literally the point of a contract.

Those who can, do, and those who can't tend to take to social media and bleat and whinge about those who do. I've seen some of the social media interactions (though I don't want to go down the rabbithole) and it seems to be the perpetual whingers having a go. We are a fan owned club, with fans in v...

97 and 09 work as a pairing - like a Tag team. Why is it on this Forum that perfectly valid criticism is raised, yet the stock response is to reply with something personal? Not for the first time, TOFC. If its any consolation 97, I think you make many good,accurate comments on this board which I ag...

Steve might be able to push us three places up the table, it's possible, but if we go down the ramifications could mean trouble. I'm thinking; Board resignations? Watson leaving? A possible attempted coup by Gray :o It truly is remarkable that you seemingly take exception to me saying that Asante i...

Do the club have a staff social media policy? If they do, then it isn’t being followed. Fed up of seeing spats between Directors/staff and fans online.

The fact Armstrong and Asante are still likely going to be costing us next year is frightening Is that a fact? I’d heard we weren’t paying AA anymore? What do you know?! He knows fuck all.He needs counselling. Aye you can just terminate 2 year contracts for a couple of months salary.. :wtf: You lit...

Oh well, just another goal today for Jacob Hazel, that’s 5 goals & 3 assists for him in 13 appearances at Boston.

Meanwhile Akwasi Asante sits out another week on big wages. He is our 007 at the moment.

0 Goals

0 Assists

7 Appearances

Criminal.

Johnson is not lying on Asante Can't lie when all you do it just allude to something... Was he being honest about Gaskell in the same tweet? We gazumped Salford for Lee Gaskell, paid him more than Danny Webber? Were Salford playing against all odds money wise after all? Or is it just the Asante bit...

PS, as an aside I reckon that he will be on a good wage and so far he's been disappointing - the "huge huge money" thing is a distraction. I'd agree with this the aswell. I also don't think Asante is the first player ever to disappoint when expected to be relatively well paid. That really is not th...
