Dig at Dyke

I am going to the Woking vs Ebsfleet match tonight and there is a chance I will be interviewed before the game about the myfootballclub thing and ebsfleet as a member - my mate works for setanta and is trying to sort it.

anyway wanted to have a pop at dyke - something along the lines of owning a club for "a bit of fun" etc

any suggestions?

Dyke does not own the Club, do some basic research first.

You can ask "who will myfootballclub appoint as the chairman of Ebbsfleet?"

You'd be a right Tool if you did, Greg Dyke does not own Brentford.

Probably a bit late to ask now, since you will be there, but I would like to know how easy/difficult they found looking for a club to invest in. Looking back, it was a brilliant idea for a club wanting to raise some fast cash - not that I am suggesting that Gravesend and Northfleet/Ebbsfleet were involved in the early stages of the scheme. For that club though, they ought to do okay out of it as long as it doesn't obstruct the work of the manager.

Ebbsfleet lost at Woking tonight so if the Ebbsfleet 'members' are anything like certain GPG members then Daish will be gone already never to be seen again!

Hopefully to us.:idea: We need a manager you know, we've had a fun model without one since the start of the season and it hasn't worked.

So you know that Mr Daish is guaranteed to give us success then? Is that why he is still with Ebbsfleet as opposed to being snapped up by Gillingham recently then?

Because we thought at the time it was better to stick with Butcher.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

If Butcher left tomorrow, many people would be creaming for Daish. I don't get it though. He might be a good manager - but then again he might have been lucky finding Charlie MacDonald. I can't see why so many people put him above the competition though.

If he were to become our manager in the future and failed you'd look quite the fool considering how keen you are on him. Doing a decent job at one club won't always mean success at another

:confused:
Not as big a fool as those who employed Leroy and Butcher. I didn't know anyone who thought Butcher would do well but like I'm going to post that on here, you simply wish him well and hope but all I want is a real football manager.

He ruled himself out of the running for the Gillingham job the previous time it was up for grabs. So maybe it was a reason they didn't go after him this time. :idea:

Nothing can be guaranteed, but I'm too convinced that Daish will make a decent manager at league level in the near future.

Les, many people think he is gonna be a very good manager in years to come. Apparently, Barry Fry (his old manager at brum) tried to get him in as Posh manager before the takeover.

He has worked miracles with a side who are skint and honestly look like going nowhere but for him. For him to get Ebbsfleet in the play offs last season was a big acheivement and they are not doing too badly this season.

Also, why was it lucky of him to find MacDonald? That could apply to half of the signings in L1/L2 who come from NL and make it i.e. Campbell. :wave:

He may well be a good manager but the regard he is held here is slightly over the top imo. Quite frankly, who amongst is qualified to pass anything like expert comment on anyone. The next great manager may well be buried away as a an assistant somewhere like Ady Boothroyd. :shrug:

Quite possibly. I think the point is that the next one needs to be someone who has experienced some success as a manager. We have already done to death the disaster of appointing people who have had no success (or less success than failure in Leroy's case) and have tried and failed three times since Allen left. Given that there seems to be a popular view on here that 'lil 'ol Brentford are unable to either attract or afford any candidates who have had success in the Football League then for me the next best thing is an up and coming Manager who has had some success outside the league and is looking to get into the League. Maybe a bit like a Martin Allen at the time.

There are quite a few names that crop up apart from Daish like Mark Stimson who is now sorted, Chris Wilder etc. I'm sure others might emerge but Daish seems as good as any of them on paper.

Hopefully the points will soon start to flow in starting next Tuesday and all this will be academic otherwise we could soon be about to embark on this search yet again. It has to be hoped that the nice Mr Dyke doesn't give the job to the first one he has heard of this time.

We can still debate about it and have opinion though or is that banned now?! :rolleyes:

Again, you may well be right but I'd hate him to become favourite based on some kind of groundswell with no foundation.

Yes but it was never going to be Terry Fecking Butcher and the "qualified" chose him.:rolleyes:
