Agree completely OTR!! In his natural high tech world everything he touches turns to gold, at DCFC everything is base metal!! Managers - what a joke, Senior Admin staff - expensive tripe, player recruitment - waste of a shedload of dosh and now this!! Sorry Mel but it's getting farcical!! We know you love this club but get a grip man!!

I've always defended MM but this really is a worry. Don't blame him personally, or Rowett - who I think was actually out of the country that week. The notion that other clubs messed up too doesn't make me feel any better either...so Barnsley and Leicester missed out too...so what? The vast majority of D/D deals were completed properly...our most important one wasn't and that is all that matters.

We have the defence...just about...we have the goal scorers...with any luck as regards injuries to Huddlestone and Thorne we have the creative distributors. What we're missing, and have been for ages now, is the ball winning midfield 'engine'.
I wasn't over optimistic about our season before this and I very much hope I'm wrong but I fear this, totally avoidable, setback spells the end of this season as far as anything higher than mid table is concerned. That's how important the Kieftenbeld signing was imo.

Maybe it is down to some EFL 'jobsworth' but the point surely is, we have highly rewarded staff who's job it is to get such deals over the line. The old days of managers sleeping secretly in the car outside a player's house until the deal is done have gone. Everyone knows, six months in advance, the rules and the deadlines. Everyone knew how crucial such a signing was to our season which has now been jeopardised due to the proverbial 'ha'porth of tar'.

It's ridiculous and the worry has to be that this is symptomatic of how badly run DCFC currently is, so...as mac says...I doubt it's down to you personally Mr. Morris but yes...'get a grip man' and sort out this shambles. I couldn't give a stuff about 'free' scarves and hot drinks but I do want a staff that can complete transfer deals properly and not make us a laughing stock...again!

Agree, no excuse for poor admin. No-one to blame but DCFC.

Farcical.
