recruitment involkves the selction of players,
negotiating involves getting the deal over the line.
in his previous roles under SD he got the club to their highest ever league positon..one they havent replicated since, in any business one person identifies the need, the other does the negotaiing..their is even a word for the latter fucntion..procurement..on corntracts manager.
and yes it is the people being asked to spend it..the managers and the chief scout.
negotiation is still part of the recruitment process, as you say he wouldn't have paid that much for Maddison. If he doesn't think Player A is worth that much of a fee or wages, then he doesn't get an offer. You have already stipulated that we have spent more and are still lower than Coventry. It is either Parkinson not getting the best out of them or they were shit when they were brought in, irrespective of the money spent. I think Parkinson is getting the best out of them. SD isn't the only one out of his depth. Richard Hill had been a DoF at Eastleigh, but SD said he wasn't coming here in that role, so what exactly has he done to land a job like this? Went to parties at SDs house and out for dinner that is what, we might as well have given MadBob the job

round of applause. thank you
These threads didn't exist three weeks ago.

To counter what you are saying, why is this thread created now, today of all days if results have no bearing.

I fully understand criticism of the regime but this board over reacts to every poor result.

there have been many posters pointing out these exact things for nearly a year. whatever the last results happens to be that particular week, it doesn't change the fact that Donald is a complete charlatan and is making absolute muppets (and £££s) out of a lot of our (disproportionately large) fan base, whilst doing the bare minimum graft or not having the faintest idea how to run the club. but instead of owning up to it, and admitting he is out of his depth, he somehow manages to convince loads of our fans that he 'saved the club' and is a saint.

**this has nothing to do with losing yesterday

Ok. I'm sure you individually are completely right that you are consistent in your posting with no influence by one result.

Not sure we could say the same about every thread on here being negative.
 
I said they could - that is factually correct. At no point did I say they would. Precision in language and in reading is paramount. Try to read what I write, not what you think I've written.

You said when he put it up for sale that the Americans were now the only potential buyer for the club and said they could do it for 100k because Donald had played a shit hand badly. I'll dig the posts up if needed.
 
You’d have to be a very gullible, or a total moron to believe Donald had any intention of spending any more in January than he did.

That’s interesting, a representative of this board in dealing with the club calls other fans morons if they hold a differing view. On this point I agree he might be Gullible, even naive but to call him a moron is out of order. Just who is it who is representing the fans. Anyone with these communication and negotiating skills is no representative of me. If your going to have hey look at me badge of on your avatar at least try and act the part.

Could. At the time they were the only potential buyer. They still control the process to a degree as Donald can't sell without their say-so, unless he pays off the loan first. At no stage did I state that they were definitely going to buy, but, in November, they were the only credible buyer. Everything changed in December when the fanzines, RAWA, and Donald himself threw their toys out of the pram. Now, like everyone else, I have no idea of what's actually happening. However, I'd suggest that nothing will be decided and no sale will be completed until we're sure what division we'll be in next season.
 
Richard Hill will have a very prominent role in negotiations, funny how you say it isn't a recruitment role, but your defence of him includes one recruitment and another where he wouldn't pay that much. You can call him whatever title you want, but he is still involved in recruitment, is pals with SD and pretty f***ing shit at this and his previous roles under SD. People keep bleating about fees cos the bloke in charge keeps bleating about them and how good we are looking financially. The point remains the same, lack of cash isn't the problem, its the f***ing clowns being asked to spend it
Kildare won’t acknowledge this but Hill was involved in every single football decision in the early days at the very least. We know this from SDs own mouth. From manager hiring, player signings and even youth development strategy. Hill was/is involved. He was also the person that other clubs rang to make offers on players. Not bad for the Ethiopian FAs technical advisor. If there really is a connection between Kildare and someone inside Safc its undoubtedly to Hill.

First off, most of what I say on here is my personal opinion. If I choose to call someone a moron, I will. If I thought I had to pretend to be someone different on here because of the RAWA stuff, I would just no longer do it.
But thankfully I don’t.
And the ‘look at me’ badge is no such thing. I prefer it not to be there, but didn’t have a say in it. But nice try at a petty dig.

I like this theory.

Or there’s a staggered deal agreed which will be an extra complication in the negotiation

You claimed after he'd announced his intention to sell up that the Americans were the only realistic buyer. Not sure how that fits in with your claims above that everything changed once he'd announced his intention to sell.
 
jack ross said he was in charge of transfers and accountable for all signings. if he was lying im glad he is gone.
whos aid he dint want grigG? a media report with not quotes? thats not evidence of anything?
jack ros never said that?
who said boyce was number one target?
lafferty is much more a parkinson type player than byce is...
Pay a fee for a new keyboard. My eyes hurt

One of our Owners called fans "parasites", "assholes", "a disease" and "unbelievably uneducated" among other things.
