DC relied too heavily at the beginning on Doyen, was later convinced by others against better judgement to sanction the signing of Rhodes and with having a bunch of aging well paid players on high wages we currently are screwed. Then of course we have a full team of LT injuries due to enforced medical mismanagement.
From what I have read elsewhere I think DC has funds or access to them and would love to do a Man City but times have changed. Others may disagree but I honestly believe they are in it for the long haul and at some point we will have Chairman Att running the club.
For me avoiding relegation is success this year along with having plans in place in the summer to perform the turn around which may then take another couple of years.
I agree, I don't think DC is going anywhere and I for one welcome that. There is no way we are going to find anyone else with his money to buy the club. He admitted when he came in that football was not something he knew a lot about and he has certainly made mistakes, but he seems to be the sort of person who will keep things evolving until we get it right. He said at one fan forum that he sanctioned the signing of a couple of players to try to placate the fans, Rhodes was probably one of them, I don't think he will be doing that anytime soon again!! He now has his CEO, as most fans thought he needed and I think we have a very pragmatic manager that has experience of developing a club rather than buying promotion, and as we have shown that is probably a more sustainable way to go if the spending doesn't work. DC created the rod for his back by promising promotion in 2 years and then the PO final pushed the fans expectations through the roof. The reality is we are now 18 years removed from the Prem and its gong to take a few seasons to build a consistent challenge to get us back there, lets hope Jos is the man to rebuild us again.
