For those of you who think that DK is perfect, what evidence do you have that he doesn't put his over-sized oar into the assessment of players when he is no more expert than you or I?
On several occassions, Dick has bragged that he is the man with the golden eye who spotted this and that player... what evidence do you have that he doesn't interfere?
I know that Wendy's predecessor was very angry at Dick's interference...
I suspect that the inexperienced Wendy is more of a Yes man but is wising-up...
OK... but does DK meddle too much in player acquisitions?
IMHO, the answer is "Yes"... he is even publicly quoted as saying he has looked at several players... why? IMHO< that is NOT his job...
Setting the overall playing budget is his job, negotiating individual player's fees and wages is his...
Dick shouldn't shoot his mouth off in the press DURING negotiations... of course, the DK arse-lickers can't see this.. their respective heads are too far up his backside...
That is really VERY funny... Lawrenson and El-Abd mentioned in the same breath...
Elphick is also clearly a better player than El-Abd... he is far more assured, and El-Abd's mistakes are glaringly obviois to most but, apparently, not you...
