Ok they are pair of idiots should be sacked and we should get a new manager. There you go feel happier now.
Hey Arthur, I can only respond to what you wrote. It was ambiguous and I genuinely wasn't sure what you meant and wondered if you were hinting at something sinister. "All the academies, all the monies" is a very strange phrase to use if you are simply suggesting that the club should be ramping up their efforts to generate income. If anything, the phrase implies the exact opposite and suggests that you think the academies are already making lots of money and are presumably questioning where it went. Apologies if that's not what you meant but you should be able to see why it might read that way and I don't think it's fair for you to accuse anyone of making mischief. If all you are saying is that the club could and should be able to generate more funds then you won't get any disagreement from me. There are many of us who have long believed we are missing a trick with the bars and tea bars and have been saying so for years, but we've had that discussion many times and I've given up banging that drum.Arthur Horsfield wrote:In reply to Spike.
Seriously if you think that I did really believe that money was disappearing somewhere as you put it that I would post that on a forum then i find that incredible.for you to suggest unless of course their is another underlying reason.
I for one have personally face to face thanked board members for their efforts and they will tell you that if you speak to them. I do not and will not and have not ever suggested anyrhing inappropriate. The rise of this football club is down to their actions along with the support of the council and i cannot thank them enough.
Please do not think this is any firm of apology as i am simply writing to put the record straight.
I do think however that we need to do more to move on from being a yoyo club as TB once put it. And have questions as to certain financial restraints that i feel have held us back and think that could move us on. I can assure you that many times certain board members have never once questioned my asking them questions and quite simply its been wonderful that to even be able to speak outwardly face to face to them and that is most welcoming. Something that I believe can never happen at many other clubs.
This brings me on to a point about any forums. People hide behind nom de plumes, people can create mischief by maybe misconstruing comments (let's put it like that) but i for one believe that it should be possible to do more financially to give the likes of Jamie and Adam more help against an ever increasing lopsided financial fair play league. And yet the simple answer which people seem to do is criticise them I've Said it before and i will say it again some have hinted and have said change the managers make it 1 manager etc. Etc Go and speak to them both. They are quite simply the most refreshing Dartford lads you can meet. Who work hard doing their own work and miss out on their families life to put it in for DFC. The point I was trying to make is DFC should be doing more behind the scenes to get us up where we should be. You can ask what. I have thoughts too long winded to put on here but that raises the point I initially brought up regarding where monies could be better spent in my opinion. I never understood why people put that or IMO after all we all know its a forum. If you need any further clarication as to my point Spike feel free to ask.
Incidentally, with regard to the nom de plumes, are you actually Arthur Horsfield?
