No, they've said Quote we will play the 2022-2023 season in SPFL League 2 Which makes it sound more like something we chose. Still no mention of the word relegation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowhereman Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 A lot of anger on here which is hardly surprising. But football at our level is cyclical. Let’s face it in the thirteen years since we won the fourth tier we have been punching above our weight for a lot of that time. For perspective we spent eight of the thirteen years before that in the fourth tier. Relegation is just part of the game for a team at our level 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relegation is just part of the game for a team at our level It's not the fact we've been relegated, anyone older than 8 years old will probably remember us being relegated before, it's the manner of the relegation and shape of the club that is angering people. The cycle has also never included regional football before, something we are now in real danger of such is the rudderless nature of our ship. I'd also like these stupid fucking "lets move the club to Broadwood" rumours to be put to bed once and for all. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever happens I’m anticipating it being a long, long time before a club with ‘Dumbarton’ in the name plays League 1 football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect to Edinburgh City but I imagine they’re surprised how easy it was to beat us. Hammered by the team that finished 4th in the league below and had a couple of teams hot on their tails in 5th and 6th place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t keep my job or get severance pay if u fucked up my job targets in the given time That's not how football contracts work.

It's been explained a thousand times across hundreds of threads. Its not how any employment contracts work. The only way you can sack somebody without giving them notice and either making them work it or paying them not to is for gross misconduct. Anything else then it;s contractual notice or payment in lieu as a minimum. And given that Farrell is a senior full time trade union official, he'll know that very well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but particularly in football, when no support that a struggling employee should be offered in a normal job is given, the only way out is to pay the contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Club statement klaxon. https://www.dumbartonfootballclub.com/news/?mode=view&id=5323 A lot if it would feature in the Crap Business Speak thread in GN, right enough.

the snudge Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Quote The club's owners have ambitious plans which, if successful, will provide us with significant revenue and much improved facilities.

THE CHOSEN SON Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Just now, the snudge said: Mackay has to go if he's taking this pish in. Just about to post the same. Alarm bells ringing. I appreciate the off-field work the board claim they are doing - but it means f*ck all if we’ve got a manager and squad in place that lose every week. We’re sleepwalking towards the Lowland League because our board don’t give a monkeys about what’s happening on the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 So we've got new floodlights and we can now track exactly how shite our players are through GPS vests. Thanks for that long winded pile of absolute shite and confirming you're not fit for the position you hold, Neil. You can stick that "collective responsibility" shite so far up your arse as well. You let this happen, not the fans. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Springs Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) GPS vests? Maybe the fans can get them too. That will show the board where we are on match days. What a way to spend our meagre resources. I am gob-smacked. I would love to see the business case for that decision.

The Moonster Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) "We depend on volunteers". Maybe stop chasing them away from the club then. "We rely on sponsorship". Maybe don't knock back guaranteed sponsorship money from a trusted source then. "We look to grow our community involvement". Again, the aforementioned trusted sponsor had done far more for our community involvement than anyone previous to them, maybe don't tell them their time and money isn't required. "We've got to run a tight budget". What the f**k we doing with 2 kitmen then? Where's that "f**k off, and when you get to f**k you can f**k off from there too" meme?
