If Dalman is a serious contender, why is he still working at Cardiff?
I assume he has dealings with players contracts, agents, sponsors etc wouldn't it be a massive conflict of interest and be normal practise to at least put him on gardening leave?0 -

There are lots of ways Roly could save money. Most of them are scams though. I believe that in his genius, he has catalogued them all in alphabetical order. We're up to Scam P at the moment! I'll get me coat.Airman Brown said:
If he didn’t want to go up he could easily have fielded a cheaper, weaker team in 18/19. I agree you can question how much he wanted it.nth london addick said:AFKABartram said:Searching for positives but I do wonder if in the coming weeks if this latest round of takeover spec fades away whether the budget will then be scaled up.
i know Roland is an idiot, impossible to second guess and his approach to everything has been wrong, but he has never positioned a manager to set the squad up to fail and pretty much post-Powell backed his manager / recruitment team.
At the moment it is clearly woefully short and even he isn’t that stupid to know that an absolute disaster of a season will offer zero help in his attempts to offload the club.
I don’t agree but I understand where his rationale is coming from: the club is more attractive to purchase the lower it’s outgoings and contractual commitments. But he’ll also know that if it’s not sold in the next month he is stuck with it again for another year and a disaster of a year will not just undoubtedly bring him personal grief and dire publicity but also less chance of achieving near his valuation.
thoughts?
The more I think about it believe what was said by David white that RD never wanted auto go up, when you think of the expense needed to be competitive in the championship let alone to try and go up where atleast 10 other clubs will spend 70-100 mil to get out of the league
players cost more , agents cost more ,etc
if your selling the club club the last thing you want is more cost
for that reason I expect him to not invest or back bows anywhere near what is needed
you also have players and agents not willing to conclude deals because their fear will be they won’t get their money clubs also due to the uncertainty of ownership
so so many things are now out of the normal operating controls you would want to run club or business
what we need is clarity all this mess and uncertainty is not helpful
the Aussies have been around for ages and not completed this is a big problem for me and it makes me wonder just why and how they are going to proceed but I do believe they are now firmly in driving seat
Dalman is still around and his back ground in English football makes me prefer him but also I am beginning to think ffs just make the deal and move this cancer away from the club , get it right and the low zeros that are being discussed and debated will come back ten fold if you get it right
but more than anything
Murray and Two shit chalets can just do one I am sick of them both
The operating loss in 17/18 was £13.3m. Let’s say it was £10m last season. In the Championship he will get about £8m extra revenue without doing anything.
If he runs the same budget (or lower) the operating loss drops to £2m. That is unachievable in L1. It may also get the club relegated, but from his perspective he has saved £8m or whatever part of it he doesn’t spend and the value of the club has risen giving him a better opportunity to sell.

Remember when I wanted to quite my paper round to move up in the world and help out on the market. My dad told me something that'll stay with me forever - don't quite one job till you know you got there other.
