2019/20 Marcel Brands

[FTY]

Which particular part of his interview did you translate as him telling the world he was Billy Big Time.

None

Day-vek = Walkers

Neiler = Snakrite

 

[Parker]

None

Day-vek = Walkers

Neiler = Snakrite

Until about a month ago I though Dave's username was pronounced like Dalek with a V.

Instead of Dave K

Would have fit the character perfectly.

Perhaps im a bit old school, or behind the curve on DOF. I do think if we had a poor window it would be radio silence, it makes me question his motivation, does he want to raise his profile after a good window, maybe its a win for everyone. I just wouldn't be a fan of that approach.

Its bad enough speculating on things the haven't happened yet. Speculating on something that didn't happen is on another level. Reminds me of this...

 

[Amw79]

As per my previous posts mate.

Can't remember properly, but all I saw in your previous posts were you saying you didn't like a DOF talking to the media. Didnt' see anything specific about content, so to save me trawling back through, which specific bits was Brands telling the world he was Billy Big Time

This particular pronunciation debate has been done to death in the past. It's pronounced pess-i-mist

In the same boat, still read it as Davek and not Dave K, and will never change.

 

[GrumpyBlue]

It's Da Vek


Anything else is bellwhiffery

I`m missing something he here ?

He did his first presser, he came across as articulate and said all the right things.

I can`t see a problem with that or am I missing something ???

Some folks just don't like having nice things

I'll try to put it across as simply as I can:

We want, in fact NEED, more communication from the club. They need to tell us exactly what is going on, when we're interested in a player, how much we pay for a player, what negotiations are involved, whether we're pleased with our business or not, whether there were targets we missed out on, and who is going to be surplus to requirements. I'm sure you can understand that none of us can be expected to live our lives without these questions being answered, and that is why Steve Walsh simply had to go, because he didn't speak enough.

What we absolutely DON'T need though, is for the club to communicate more. They certainly don't need to tell us exactly what is going on, when we're interested in a player, how much we pay for a player, what negotiations are involved, whether we're pleased with our business or not, whether there were targets we missed out on, and who is going to be surplus to requirements. Brands has now committed the cardinal sin of speaking, and so he must go.

I hope that clears it up.

 

[Nymzee]

My thoughts are the same. Couldn't say no to the pay package probably offered.

A scout who went way over his head in undertaking a DOF role

Yeh I mean he took the job so I don’t feel sorry for him but I just feel he was screwed from Day 1.

 

[GwladysPhil]

Never in a million years was he a chief negotiator.

Just liked to watch and recommend players.

Eloquently put sir.
To summarise - You can please some of the fan base some of the time and some of the fan base all of the time, but you'll never fully please the likes of @davek and @Neiler any of the time

 

[davek]

played a blinder so far, brought in quality, and got rid of dross, perfect combo

think over time we can seriously improve if brands keeps it up and silva is a success

With respect mate, that has yet to be determined.

 

[JAYMULL]

Brands is the real deal the most important appointment at the club for ages. Moshiri needs credit for this.
