She's openly lied about the club's intentions.....which is her job I suppose, but if you're going to come out with stuff like those quotes in the OP around renewal time then our best players get sold you're going to get stick for it.

I don't think she's the one calling the shots but she's the one talking about it publicly.

Tbf mate, Quinny did that as well but gets no stick. Imo people are looking for people to blame and Byrne - strangely - is getting a lot of abuse.
 
So why did Di Canio come out and slag him off then?

I'm with the club on this one, if they keep PDC fair enough, if he goes I won't lose any sleep. I don't see anything to make me think he's the best manager we could get at this moment in time.
What he likely to say like, i had no say in it im powerless? hes making the best of the situation by downplaying sess being sold, saying we have brought in better in borini and acting like it was all through him, of the precption of him having control over owt goes flying out the window.
 
Ever since her and Quinny sanctioned the sale of Gyan I've been concerned about the power she seems to have in regards to transfers.

Because the last manager kicked up a fuss about not being given the right tools to do his job and got sacked shortly after. He only changed his tune after the sale......which says it all.

Like trying to stop the ridiculous overspending??

Doesn't wash for me I'm afraid, he has the tools not to have the worst side in the league and he's failing as it stands.
 
What is her actual role, then?

It seems to me like there are too many people making key decisions, with no consistency, which are evidently conflicting with each other. De Fanti, Angeloni, Byrne, Short, and Di Canio; and DC is the one bearing the brunt of blame. The decision making with regards to Cabral, Ji, and Sessegnon are already looking like major cock-ups, and I honestly don't think DC has had much say in them.

Maybe DC isn't suited to this model, i.e. A puppet who basically has to work with what he's given. Seen as this model was always the plan, you've got to seriously question the decision to appoint him in the first place.

Correct. This is not a bad group of player and they are under performing. The longer this continues the more blame attached to PDC.

50% of them have seen to two managers already, it could be three. It comes to a point you have to say it very much is a large chunk of these players being shite and being shite around the club bringing the rest down.

Totally agree.
 
Might sound irrational and ignorant, but I despise that that woman. We've gone downhill ever since she joined. Cursed us.
If you had any idea about the club you'd know she is far superior to that clown Walton.

The real problem is people don't like that she's a woman and thought Walton seemed like a canny bloke who was "one of us". The same people who hate "bankers".
 
The suggestion in the media today was that the selling of Sess was down to his arrest for drink driving while we played MKD. If so, then it was PDC's decision on the back of his strict disciplinary stance.
To be fair to PDC like, I agree with selling him, drink driving man ffs!! The problem was no replacement
