Your post hasn't been taken down. It is however a load of negative guff, and oddly your first posts on the forum (under this name anyway) since early September, a time when we were in good form but you were still posting negative things casting aspersions about the club. Funny that.

That the Marquis money was used to pay off a tax bill.

So should we just ignore the tax bill and end up like Bury

So you think the Marquis money has all been spent on a tax bill?

I didn't say it was did i

[PDX_Rover]

Utter guff.

[Glyn_Wigley]

I didn't say what you said I did either, did I? But it didn't stop you saying it, did it?

SM gave the club’s explanation of the tax bill thing a few weeks ago.  It wasn’t ever a problem, and the club settled it’s dues accordingly.. I can’t remember the exact details but still folks make all kind of assumptions about it..

[silent majority]

There was NO outstanding tax bill, just a misunderstanding between the IR computerised system relating to dates and our system.

These days football clubs, because of their tendency to withhold tax revenues, are given no grace periods and are treated differently to other types of business.

The action was dismissed immediately because nothing was outstanding and our tax submissions were up to date.

However that doesn't stop certain individuals turning this into negative guff because it suits their agenda.

In fairness, not many people will have much direct knowledge of the running of businesses or football clubs. To start on "certain individuals" who you claim have agendas is unnecessarily argumentative, inaccurate and, to be frank, quite odd behaviour. To illustrate my point, I was initially concerned when I saw the club were listed on a winding up order, however it now seems that it was little to worry about. My initial worry doesn't mean I have an agenda.

Yes, but certain individuals always post similar unfounded shite in an effort to start something. Very odd.

The clue was in the words 'certain individuals'.

People taking offence at something said that wasn't aimed at them is quite odd, inaccurate and unnecessarily argumentative.

It will be interesting to see what happens in the January transfer window. If the owners are genuinely committed to a top 6 finish money will have to be spent. This will hopefully silence the conspiracy theorists.

[IDM]

Folks are getting too attached to the January window..

Yes it may be possible to bring some players in but realistically I can see mostly an adjustment of loanees, ie a couple incoming to replace Sterling and Daniels.  Sign Dieng if we can and keep the others..

Of course it would be ideal to buy 2 or 3 quality players but does that really happen in this window.?

Pleased  someone else can see the reality of the January window.

Santa won’t be appearing again until June.
It will be a couple of loans, possibly one permanent signing but it won’t be a marquee one, as i keep saying who is out there that will be available?

I'm aware that you wasn't saying I have an agenda, I just used the myself as an example to illustrate that some supporters will have had legitimate concerns about what is reported in the press and on social media. Those concerns are probably heightened given recent events at Bury, Bolton, Chesterfield, Macclesfield etc. Essentially, I don't think people should be shouted down or labelled for having such concerns, particularly by prominent members of a supporters group.

[IDM]

You’re missing the other point though, that there are some posters who almost always have a negative approach or are anti the club.. 

It’s very obvious when that happens so yes, maybe they do have an agenda.

Other clubs will be spending money on January, why should we have to be reliant on loans and non league strikers?

[graingrover]

This (type of forum) does reveal character of posters over time .I have certainly chosen those I would socialise with if they were real people and those I would not .That said there is a lot of fake personalities and that is really sad .

It’s not anti the club it’s questioning their approach to getting players we require. There are anti DM posters who have complained what players have been brought in. There are others who appear to have the ear of an insider who criticise the way DM gets players.
The CEO says he wanted top six to achieve that we need a more experienced striker and if the club can’t, won’t pay for that then they will have to accept the outcome.

Do you want us to buy players for the sake of it, or bring the right players in who DM wants.?

For the record, I think we need to strengthen and would ideally want permanent decent signings, but I can’t hold my breath - that’s not due to how our club operates, more how the transfer market works..

Perhaps the player(s) DM was about to sign in August may be ready to join next month.?

Will you be putting yourself forward to find the spending you want to see?....  thought not.

[steve@dcfd]

No any player we sign must come through the manager first and then the club to get said players terms and contract over the line.
Yes the players or player he wanted in August might be available to sign this window.

Now whether it’s summer or winter transfer window we have not gone out to sign a recognised striker for a fee and wages under our present board. So to say wait till the summer makes no difference really when it comes to signing a striker on a fee and wages.
